The TARTAN has arrived...

Well after some mix ups, I got the fabric I ordered from Amazon. There was only 2 tartan prints that were in the old fashion so those were what I chose. They are a lot brighter than what I wanted, especially the blue and yellow, which was supposed to be blue and olive. I am going to over-dye it to darken it, but I don't have time to do it before the 26th. Aside form that though, I really like the fabric. It is a nice weight and does look and even feel like wool.

Gathering supplies for The Gathering...

Still not sure what I am making but I DID buy some tartan material from Amazon. Do not have the funds right now to buy the real thing, but I thought this looked nice. Seems to have a bit of lavender going through it, so I will see once it arrives. The bottom one I ordered for my son Stephen's Great Kilt. I think it will look nice.
