#154 Child's Scottish Kilt
Scottish Highlanders
have been wearing garments of tartan-patterned fabric (commonly
known as plaid) for centuries. This ancient tradition is
cherished among Scottish descendants all over the world, and is
still passed on to new generations so the old ways won't be
forgotten. Our Child's Kilt pattern features a pleating template
to simplify the measuring and pleating steps for creating
smaller-size garments from a length of tartan. The pattern
includes complete step-by-step instructions for pleating and
finishing the garment, with the option of fringed or self-faced
front edges. The Prince Charlie Jacket is constructed from
specific pattern pieces and features authentic garment details
for a formal outfit. Also included is information about wearing
the kilt today and resources for finding tartan fabric,
accessories, Scottish event calendars, and more.
