Hi Walt,
I made my first kilt out of some cheap 100% wool material. You want to use wool because it molds well and holds a crease after pressing. My first kilt now rests on the top shelf of my closet, probably never to be worn again but a great learning experience. The second kilt will be a little easier, but not much.




You will most likely make mistakes. I am still not perfect after 21 kilts.
Good luck!
