Kilt Making - Introductory

Course Number: ARTS1565

Kilts are becoming more and more popular in Canada, not only as a 'Cultural Marker' but as really sharp-looking attire for daily wear. Kiltmaking, however, is regarded even by experienced professional tailors as the most difficult and complex skill in their trade and alterations or repairs are regarded as even more challenging. As you're guided every step of the art of kiltmaking you will complete a 4 or 5 yard 'casual' kilt during the course. Those who are left-handed are particularly encouraged to apply, as none of the 'DIY' kiltmaking books currently available will address their needs. Each kilt requires 4 or 5 yards of 'single-width' (27") or 2 to 3 yards of 'double-width' (54") 16oz wool tartan cloth. Inferior-quality cloth will not serve, as it doesn't handle the same as the proper material.
