Video

Was this filmed on a Nokia 3315

I just happened across this video, but I have a nephew on the way soon, and I'd love to sew him a kilt if my sister and brother-in-law aren't against it. Looking forward to actually watching the series.

Where do we find the info for the courses please or the book you talk about Thank

I like the third method with rosette, brooch and safety pin. Go all out!

I love all the background history of how you came about to be in business. Teaching the world how to make your kilts etc! Love that new kilt makers join your family!! 💙👍🏼

Thank you! I wanted to know how the rosettes were done!

This was very informative and I thoroughly enjoyed the history lesson.

No comprendo el ingles però entiendo las medidas.

I like your video. Thank you! But the music in the backround makes it difficult to understand you. My english is not very good, so I have to concentrate me exremly about that what you say. 🙈

So basically it’s Just for décoration purpose Not for warm …

I want to like to take Scottish Class and I want to like to wear my kilt all the time

said you do not make any more youtube video's

Hello, does it matter the orientation of the pin? Or different meanings on if the ends of the pin pointed up or down or left or right?

I am a social studies teacher in the United States and I am absolutely in love with Scotland and its traditional fashion. I wear kilts regularly. I am looking into learning how to make a kilt, and I love this video. Thanks! :)

Maybe you could be of some help, i inherited the same type of buckle but think the back is broken, how should it look, how is it worn? Thank you!

That was so very helpful!! Now I know exactly how to wear my sash. Great explanations!

All of my dad's side of the family are Scottish and I'd love to wear this over my wedding dress one day to honour my family ❤

how do I find a Gilliland tartan of the MacClellan Clan?

How can I access learning to make kilts please, Anna mairi

Both my granddaughters do Scottish dancing , it would be awesome to make them a beautiful kilt .

Where can I get the videos

Where can I get the kilt making course

Oh MAN!!... I have to have one of those for my collection!! That would look SO good paired with a Wool leather patched sweater and heavy knit hose for Upland bird hunting or a night out in the Pub!!!

do ya'll have a website or something where you sell kilts? I would love to make one myself but I'm not very handy when it comes to sewing and I don't have all that much free space or time to make one

Please tell me how I can find and access these classes? Nikki, I would love to be one of yours!!!!

Thank you for this video. Several years ago (in Australia) we were invited to wear something tartan to my uncle's BD party, so I was lucky to be able to borrow a friends 2nd kilt (a Royal Stewart) to that event. That sparked interest in our family's past etc which also eventually led to me being involved in learning to play Scottish fiddle (I played classical violin) & also Scottish Country Dancing. So of course I needed a kilt & the first I found was in an op shop based on Stewart of Bute (not a traditional deep red colour though). It was a light weight material & although the apron was the man's side it was obviously made to fit a women's hips. So I ventured forth & undid it all, washed it, ironed it & was able to make a nice kilt for myself, with more pleats per set pattern too. The pleats were only 2" deep so the internal edge of the pleats around the waist had not been trimmed so that allowed me to start from scratch for where the pleats were placed etc. I put some solid straps on to add that more masculine feel to it too. 😊 From there I bought a couple of used pipe band kilts in the tartan associated with the family (yes, they are a large set compared to what the clan members normally where). One was heavy weight but made with a bit of a cheat with a shortage of material used & that fitted at the time while the other was from a large man (medium weight material). I undid that, washed & ironed it, taking careful note of it's construction as I did with the first kilt & also had a little bit of guidance from local kilt makers from whom supplied me with straps & buckles etc. Because the material was a little faded I turned the material inside out (sorry about the wrong convention for the slope of the weave), cut the front apron off with plenty to re-join inside the first pleat, remade it, aligning the pleats to match the inside fold since they were trimmed. Thankfully I could also cut the top lower with me being shorter than the original wearer too which helped with being left with plenty of material to use to finish off neatly again. Anyhow, that is the kilt I wear for suitable events now (or did) such as Scottish Country Dancing etc (BTW, the friend gave me his Royal Stewart kilt too). I also found a tails coat & remade that into a Prince Charlie coat too, priding myself with my concealed stitching etc., so I could go formal to appropriate events too.

Did ye ken that I’m a lassie of high status? I’m actually a Scottish warrior princess! Found out I’m a princess when I searched up my clan

Lovely ladies!

Why is it measured just for a man ..can a woman now wear one or is the female version a kilted skirt... wondering because i want to make one

Is it me, or are those soft scottish voices, gentle laughter and occasional anecdotal information along with the gentle repetitive music - one of the the most soothing video's I have ever seen. This should be used as an insomnia aid. Something so olde worldy and safe about this video. Plus kilts are amazing. Thanks for making this video!

oh ha kann das jemand übersetzten die sprechen zu schnell

What tartan is in the opening credits? The one with the scissors and measuring tape on the kilt?

I have 5 kilts one being truly made in Scotland the rest who knows. Making my own kilt is something I have never given any thought two. Please tell me more.

Fascinating and really well presented video. Thank you so much. I only paused half way to make coffee, returning to watch the remainder absolutely spell bound! You two seem really compatible and reassure us Scottish kilt-making is in very good hands. Also love the history. Didn't know Walter Scott was such a scoundrel, but at least he, King George and Queen Victoria were all key in getting in things started. Agree the history is crucial in fully understanding the kilt-making process, ditto most things of genuine value. The learning process of proper kilt-making reminds me a little of highland piping, which is also a long, exacting process where high standards are not left to chance. What we all need to do now is get every man and boy, every woman and girl in a kilt! Continued success to ScotClans.

Phew, I've just worked my way through a number of Americans who have never made a kilt before (and one professional Canadian kiltmaker, who to be fair was worth watching). I'm just making clothes for myself, so a practical overview of the craft from experienced kilt makers is exactly what I'm looking for right now!

I simply love your Scottish accents. I hope to one day visit Scotland. Thanks for the tutorial. I plan on going to the Texas Renaissance Festival this weekend and the theme is “Highland Fling”, so I’ll definitely try one wearing the sash one of the ways you demonstrated.

Thank you for all the info! My husband's mother came from Scotland.Lamont clan. My son has a kilt but I am not sure if it made right way?? How many pleats it should have .Is there anywhere I could get the good instructions how to make it ??

Could I use a tartan I have woven myself on this course? Currently teaching myself to weave with a 4 shaft table loom, doubt I’ll reach the quality of a machine loom mill any time soon though but the end goal for me is to go from cloth to kilt.

Lovely!

Where is the link?

Really nice.

There I was wanting to make a kilt, my brain thinks this is rocket science lol..... I didn't even know each family had unique colors.... be that guy that shows up with the wrong colors to the party

Great video! What is the tartan of the kilt on the mannequin?

Great video! What is the tartan of the kilt on the mannequin?

Great video. Horrible unnecessary background white noise. When we are lecturing, presenting or talking in the kitchen we don't normally say, " hang on, I'll go and put on some background din to improve the quality of our conversation" Can we not take content seriously without, please?

The rosette method is very pretty!

Beautiful!!!!

The energy in this video is fantastic! I love everything about this. So beautiful! I'm studying fashion and I am just fascinated by all the history and craftmanship involved in making a kilt. i love the passion you show and the honesty. Just beautiful.

I am from the United States (Midwest). I would very much like to see other videos by you as well. How long does it take to go through the learning process of making a kilt. Do you have a course going on already? What does it entail? I'd like to learn more. I think if anyone wants to make a kilt and do this for other people who don't sew, it needs to be done the right way. So, thank you for this introduction. I actually have German heritage on both sides of my family. Looking forward to many more videos by the both of you.

Kerr have a lot of videos on making badges. Because that little sun face looks so awful on the mass produced stuff
