Thanks for the link to the NY Tartan day. Might have to plan a trip.
Your story sounds similar to mine, up until the part where you kicked Mom off her machine. My Mom never owned a sewing machine, but I picked it up in school (Home Economics) and loved it. So I took over the house hold sewing chores.
And kilts ARE amazingly simple garments. Much simpler to construct than pants or shirts! One long piece of fabric, folded to make pleats and a waistband. What could be easier?
The kilt concealed a blaster strapped to his thigh. Lazarus Long
