You just never know what’s going to happen on any given day. What I do know is that a good percentage of my customers come back for another kilt and what follows is a case in point.
One of my customers was working on set for a new Bruce Willis film, that is being shot in Toronto. Apparently Mr. Willis sponsored a draw and the prize being some extra cash which my customer won and is turning into a leather kilt. Now how cool is that?!
It has been a hectic week at the atelier, however, after many hours of hard work Jessie has been able to launch are new website. It will have some growing pains, but it is an improvement over the last one.
Jessie has caught the bug and wants a kilt for herself, but the list is getting kinda long so I’m guiding her through the steps of making one. Not sure how it will turn out but we’re having some fun.
Here she is laying out the kilt

Here she is trying her hand at top stitching the pleats using the industrial sewing machine. (I don’t think she’s sewn before) Don’t worry Jessie I think we can fix most of it.

Had my weekly chat with Rocky of USA kilts. He and his shop was featured on a St. Patrick’s day morning show Channel 10 out of Philly. I saw the clip and he did rather well.
There’s a good buzz on the kilt night that will be happening here in Stratford next week, all the folk with cabin fever about to let loose, I think it will be a fun night.
I plan on making the Army green hemp kilts next week so we should have photo’s soon.
I have had requests for videos one being on the difference between the Mach V and RKilt, I’m open to other suggestions.
Spring has arrived today, saw a few snow flurries during the course of the day, though I’m told it will start getting warmer on Monday.
Have a great weekend. If you’re in the neighbourhood please drop by.
Cheers
Robert
