That would be me. I'm working on my 21st kilt. Hmm, 21st century kilt?

I started my first kilt as a precursor to my MacPherson modern kilt. I never sewed before and could not have done it without the help from Barb T. and her book. I just recently finished a jacket conversion where I hand sewed the buttonholes... still learning. My previous passions were racing; bicycles, running, and triathlons. Who knew I would become a kilt maker?

How many kilts does a kilt maker make when a kilt maker makes kilts?
