Kiltmaker and award-winning educator Barbara Tewksbury has teamed up with legendary kiltmaker Elsie Stuehmeyer to bring you a book that teaches the traditional kiltmaking methods that Elsie learned 50 years ago as an apprentice and kiltmaker with the renowned firm Thomas Gordon's of Glasgow
In the book you will find: a brief history of kilts, advice on how to evaluate any kilt for fit and workmanship, explanations and illustrations for each step in kiltmaking, over 70 colour photos and hundreds of line drawings, instructions for taking care of and altering a kilt, advice on how to add a hidden pleat, make a self-coloured kilt and how to cope with asymmetric tartan, as well as a list of tartan sources and suppliers.
