Photos from Kilt Kamp 2013

[Barb T]

I am IN for anything that involves Mrs. Kiltedwolfman's cooking. I'm there.

We _definitely_ didn't have anything of that caliber this year!! Gotta look forward to next year!

Oh no! You can't say that. You and your husband are the picture of gracious hosts. You are what my parents had hoped I would be (poor silly people.)

[Marshall]

Yes - am up to it in alligators right now, but should have some time tonight or tomorrow.

Alligators?! I'm hoping this just means you're very busy right now?

Anyway, some great photos have appeared. Thanks!

Over in the Contemporary class we were introduced to "The Beast".





One of the differences in the two classes was the different fabrics kilt can be made from.

When making kilts from fabrics other than wool you become real familiar with your steam iron.

Here is Mike in Dayton with his X Marks P/V fabric. It has been washed and needs to have the travel wrinkles smoothed out in preparation to laying out the pleats.
I could have sworn I heard him mumbling under his breath, "Double, double, toil and trouble."

Many of the photos you are seeing were taken by David Tewksbury. He is a professional photographer. He bounced between the classes taking photos and giving us all the best support possible.

One thing David noticed was the difference between the two classes.

Here is what it looked like in the Traditional course.



Everyone is concentrating on their own kilts. It is quiet and serene.



And over in the contemporary course ---





Let me show you this again.

AWESOME!!! Wonderful photos, Barb and Steve! It looks like everyone had a splendid, informative time learning from one of the best kilt-makers (I'm a proud owner of a Barb Tewksbury-made kilt). Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

That is exactly what I was saying! When I was done this magically appeared (well after about 40 hours and a few words of special English).

Mike,
I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like to see a pic of your new kilt modeled for us...

This is a great illustration of a kilt that is constructed to sit lower at front than in rear (the uppermost white horizontal line demonstrates the difference). I hesitate to use the term "gut cut" as you don't seem to need that, based on the pressing photo! Nevertheless the kilt photo is a classic and should "live" and be used as example whenever the topic comes up. Nicely done!

Here are more photos from Kilt Kamp2013.
Tools of the trade: wool tartan (This is Pollock tartan), wide ironing board, wooden clapper, steamer



I'm busy working on my Macpherson red muted while wearing my Macpherson modern hunting.


Putting in the canvas--you can see a bit of the Hello Kitty stabilizer. We had the option of Hello Kitty or American flags. It was a tough choice.

So many tartans, so little time.
