It's remarkable how contemporary that bike looks - something so utilitarian, designed for a single purpose, and yet it somehow looks good.

You’ve helped me so much! Not just in kilt making but in all sewing. I had a fairly good grasp of pattern drafting but your detailed explanations are next level fantastic. Also, that’s a lovely tartan, which one is it? It looks similar to Lost Souls.

Would love to see a video on the construction of a pipers plaid

I wanted to give it a 👍(like) but that would have been 'like' 12 + 1 and I can't do that.

I am interested to see how the knife fell to box pleat turns out, as if it works, I will probably be changing up my method for making them!

Does the mill have an mininal yardage requirement? I looked them up, and yes - interesting and good that they are holding up the tradition. (Lovely pattern.)

I’ve watched a couple of your videos on putting the canvas in, but… how do make sure you’re not sewing through to the front layer when doing the herringbone stitch, from the buttonhole side? I am following your videos meticulously as this is the first kilt I am making.

Thanks Robert, you are really the greatest

Beautiful! Many thanks for showing us. I've always been curious and it's an honour to observe you work.

👍

👏

Thank you for this series.

I could watch your videos over and over and never get tired. One day I’m gonna give a shot making one kilt for myself

What an extraordinary demonstration of skill and care.

I'm hearing now 2 washing machines (or yours is a dryer?). Because ours is a 35 years old Miele the water intake lock has to be renewed so I have to put some water by hand. That's why I have to listen very careful to not miss that moment. Hearing 2 machines makes it more confusing.😵‍💫

These videos should stay with this kilt forever. Imagine these are shown with the kilt in 100 years from now. Priceless. You could make them for/with all your clients without showing them on youtube.

It's that Moffett(Moffat) tartan?

I have got to figure out how to deal with my curves. Maybe I'll make DH a kilt first, but he has a dad belly. Hmmm...... ~Caryl the Tartan Weaver

For silk, linen thread check out Burnley and Trowbridge near Williamsburg VA

💪Luckily I have an iron like that. 3 kg

Next one Box pleat now yer talkin. That's the one for me.

Еще бы на русском титры были бы было бы супер

You could ask if the client ever broke one of the client's legs. Especially when they were young, like in my case, this could have caused a bigger than normal difference. But anyway, no one is perfectly symmetric.

Indeed the shoulder plaid falls very nice. Impressive that only that piece of cloth is about 200 dollars. No wonder gala uniforms are no longer issued as I believe you mentioned in one of the videos. How could you otherwise pay the 88 F-35As ordered by the Canadian government at $109 million a piece.

If the fringe tool you're referring to looks like a couple or several alligator clips that you can turn together, that's called a "fringe twister" and are very simple to use. There are several videos on RUclips about it. Basically you gather six or so threads in each clip, twist them 9-15 times to the right, then pinch the end of one of the little twists of threads unclip it, and do the same to the one next to it, knot them together at the end and let go and they will spin together in the other direction and purl themselves for you.

Jesteś świetny

thank you for uploading this

BOOSH MONEY!

Where do you buy the canvas from?

👍

I'm not aspiring to learn how to make kilts, but I've always wondered how they're made; I;m really enjoying this series!! Interesting comment you made that it is a "restful tartan." I would think some of the very "unrestful ones" could be hard to work with.

Hell yes.

Thanks so much for doing this series! My Mackenzie Weathered tartanvjust came in to try making myself a kilt for the first time...

I personally prefer the 9b camera position.

Very much enjoy your ongoing saga of kiltmaking. Quite mesmerizing. Was both delighted and fully corroborated by your own story of your left handed shears experience as it closely echos my own. Started using my right handed mother’s scissors/shears in my left hand back in the late fifties prekindergarten and on into the seventies. All throughout the making of my own clothing i bled red on my left thumb from the gouging reversed handle despite the preventative layers of tape or bandages. Never had access to lefty cloth shears until i was given a pair of orange handled Fiskers for my 18th birthday. Except that they were still bladed righty. Could use them well as i still had the righty ‘handle cocking’ down pat. Decided excitedly at age 35 to gift myself a very expensive pair of Gingher leftys that were actually true bladed lefty. Couldn’t cut well with them because I couldn’t shake that old muscle memory. Am now seventy & i still cannot use the goddamn things (nor any others) without that handle cock.

Now that's much better to watch the stitching. 😃

I haven't finished watching the others in this series, but I figure I'll get back to those parts in a bit. A new video of yours deserves a like and a comment!

Where’s the next part 😢 I’m addicted to this kilt! It’s sooo beautiful! More please 🙏🏼

Amazing work. They look fabulous - and very different!

Love the idea of the same tartan pleated to different stripes on a set of kilts. What a wonderful way of personalizing the uniform, as it were.

Hi, what did you use to stich the hem? Cotton or wool? I ask because I have some "non-selvage" tweed... Thank you.

I'm in total agreement about costly garments being utter garbage - I've been buying 100 year old handwoven hemp fabric from Ukraine (slava Ukraine) and making my own shirts and tunics. What fantastic material !

That is a beautiful tartan.

Hi, I wasn't much taken with this tartan at first, but it's grown on me. Those pleats are going to look amazing when in motion. Thanks for the video series.

Cathy Hope (based in Scotland) has been doing to the division of colours for a long time - and it's looked fantastic every time. Takes a bit of skill to do that sort of pleating for sure! Additionally, if you want a double width piece of cloth with a proper selvedge, then Andrew Elliot is the way forward, because they use the old style looms which are able to create it.

So you pin the new pleat a little bit higher because the stitch you use will pull the pleat down . Do I see that correct ?

I love the 🕰 ticking. It gives you a rhythm to work with. It's like driving the car on the highway listening to the engine without really listening .
