Taking this a step further, the book grew out of Barb T's participation in some kiltmaking seminars that are held around the nation each year. The book documents the classroom instruction for making wool tartan kilts in the traditional manner. With those methods, even a novice kiltmaker can make kilts for man, woman, or child, athlete, piper, or dancer. Particular to young and growing dancers, the book includes tips for hems which can be let down and "hidden" panels of tartan for future pleats.

The five-day seminars - and those who teach them - change dates and places a little each year. And, the seminars we hear about may not be the only ones put on. Try out the book a few times, then look out for a way to get some personal instruction in kiltmaking.

In my limited understanding of the world of competetive dance, dancers kilts sometimes become available for sale or trade as dancers outgrow them, and kiltmakers are born of necessity among the parents and coaches and sponsors.

Good success in your part of the journey along with your dancer.
