I've been sewing. I'm trying to make a kilt for myself. I'm trying to do it all by hand, since speed is not of the essence. I'm using a sixteen ounce (kilting weight) worsted wool fabric from Fraser and Kirkbright, whose website is www.wooltartan.com and not fraserkirkbright.com or anything like that.
In the obsessively focussed world of kilting, Fraser and Kirkbright have the reputation of producing a "softish" worsted wool. I actually like that, since I'm going for a kind of a "shaggy kilt".
There is something almost hypnotic about sitting and sewing, with needle and thread, on good worsted wool.
Progress reports as things develop.
