Hard Core kilting

[Southern Breeze]

Almost forgot- learning to spin, hand weave tartan and tanning your own leather are probably the last steps to kilted enlightenment.
And no I can't do any of those.

I have managed all but the shoes at some time..The weaving of the tartan at a weaving demonstration was a lot of fun even if it didn't come out quite right..Had something to do with letting any visitor to the exhibit take a try at it. Somehow the thread count had a couple of "malfunction"s. The strange things one does as a teenager. I still have the cloth, and have worn it as a great kilt. The best part about the piece is all I learned from the real weaver that I was assisting for the week at a fabrics convention. Spinning, colours mixing, bobbin loading, shuttle hooks, etc.
