Fabric for a New Kilt

I’m excited! I’m starting a new kilt for my son. I’ll be posting the whole adventure, from fabric to finished swish! The process begins with eight yards of MacPherson Red Muted from Strathmore Woollen Mill in Scotland spread out across the kitchen and into the hallway. So glad I have a long stretch of floor. It makes it easier to do the measuring and mark the pleats.

Happy Tartan Day!

For all of you Scotts out there (and even if you’re not Scottish), Happy Tartan Day! Raise a wee dram in honor of the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath in 1320.
