Isle of Skye kilt

[MacTavishOfJapan]

Wow! Absolutely smashing. (Never thought I'd say that looking at a man's ***.)

Oh God!!! Tea on the monitor! Such a good start to the day!

Very Cool about your McIvers at the other end of the island Turp.

And nope, Bradley, Kathy's not done with the RAF kilt yet but working with such a craftsperson its cool to plan ahead.

And the financial secret is I got divorced a long time ago so just me to buy for and support...okay, me and the cat....The lovely red haired maiden I'm dating makes more money than me so insists on paying for a lot of our adventures. Kilts and a lovely lady...life is good.

And, don't know how anyone could turn down the beauty of that tartan once they've seen it in a completed kilt, particularly when their blood is from Skye.

So much difference between a swatch and a photo of a kilt. Thanks Phil, Jim, and Barb for the pic posts.

Don't forget about Robin. It was actually his thread back in September (A Hole in One...Almost) that got me going, especially when he brought in a pic from Phil's thread from last spring.

Thanks Robin.

Barb, the Isle of Skye kilt is stunning. I have been a big fan of that tartan (an dht place it represents) for some time. Your work is incredible.

Just a brief thought for the next addition to the book. I am not a fan of the belted plaids myself, and I know it is not really relevant to the rest of the book, but perhaps a brief section on laying out a belted plaid, etc. With this, the excellent instructions for the traditional kilts, and the new comtemporary kilt additions, you would basically cover all spectrums of the different kilts available. Just a thought, as I said I would likely not use it, but I am sure some on this site would.

Incredible talent! The smallest details make the biggest impression.

Thanks for the reminder cousin, had totally fogotten the thread of Robin's post. Was just after my mother died and think I was using this board to escape the reality of it. Plum forgot with all the aftermath details and intensity of her passing.

Thanks Robin.

So, hopefully, in a few more months I'll have me one of my own to wear in honor of my Skye ancestors.

Glad you got a kilt with so much meaning to you Ron. You'll do it proud!

Nice one Barb--Stunning kilt

Awesome work! The artistry needed to create such a beautiful kilt amazes me.

I'd like to second that, Turpin. I still harbor the idea that someday I'll make a kilt. Until then, Barb's book has taught me much about what to look for and look out for in a kilt. Its a must have resource for any serious kilt wearer.
