I'm really enjoying your videos, they are so informative and helpful! I am in the process of attempting to make my first Kilt! I realize this video is two years old, but if you haven't already done so, I would recommend getting a tripod for your phone or camera, that way you can film and still use both hands! Thank you for these videos!
@@justanothercaptain6566 Sorry about the confusion. the 'seam allowance' is the extra amount of material which will extend past the seam after you've sewn it. For instance: If you turn a pair of trousers inside out and look at the inside of the vertical centre-back seam, or the long straight seams down the trouser-leg you should see some cloth that's been folded back where the two pieces of cloth are joined by the seam.
the lining is longer because it is necessary to cover the area of the pleats which have been cut out in order to reduce the thickness of the cloth across the back.
@@robertmacdonaldbespokekilt3063 Of course; I should've known. Thank you! The danger of watching all your methods videos is that someday I'll mistake your skill and faculty for ease and try it myself. Then I'd have a real sow's ear on my hands. Thank you for the interesting videos!
Absolutely brilliant. Wonderful view of the internal thought process. This truly a show how dedicated you are to the quality.
Beer o'clock, a man after my own heart !

One doesn't make the buttonhole in the kilt. One makes the kilt around the buttonhole. It's a distinction WITH a difference.
Hahaha - it can certainly seem that way!
Excellent video as always! Thank you. Quick question: what do you mean by “seem allowance “? Cheers
Generally it refers to the distance from the seam to the edge of the fabric.
@@tallakff7349 thank you but I am still not clear on what you mean. Could you explain it with more detail? Sorry I just don’t understand.. Thank you 🙏

@@robertmacdonaldbespokekilt3063 thank you Sir! Now I understand! Much appreciated to you both! Have a wonderful day! Cheers 🍻
Please forgive me if you've already spoken to this. Why is the lining longer in the back? Why not keep it the same depth the whole way round?
the lining is longer because it is necessary to cover the area of the pleats which have been cut out in order to reduce the thickness of the cloth across the back.

@@chap0120 hardly a 'danger' - one of my aims here is to encourage others to do it themselves!
