140716How 'bout some fingerless mitts.......I used some old wool sweaters that I felted and devised a design to stitch the fingerless gloves ITH......they all sold at my last show.......
261161I like the idea of cushions, a skirt or a vest. How about a jacket. there is a LOT of fabric in a kilt so you have plenty of fabric to do whatever you like when you disassemble the pleats. If you can find out what each tartan happens to be, it would be nice to make a picture identifying the name of the tartan to hang on the wall. Or maybe you could make a lap quilt that would be very warm for someone. They would make warm doggie coats. You can use it in anything so long as it doesn't need to be washed. You could even use it as a table runner. Have fun running ideas through your mind and show off what you end up making.
168887You've got some great suggestions - and probably enough fabric to try all of them!
140716Congratulations first of all on the great gift of those tartans. I agree with Kim about undoing the pleats and making something else from it. First of all, are any of the kilts the same fabric? If they are maybe you could make a beautiful vest for winter. Or what about making a skirt? Love to hear what you come up with. Love Chris

253107Wow...lucky you...if they are pleated, you could take them apart and rescue lots of yardage...so many things they could become...my mind is racing!
313717With that much yardage consider making a hooked wool rug. There is a pricey little cutter tool kind of like a rolling pin that slices your lovely woolens into 1/4 inch strips, Then you need a piece of burlap (you may call it something else?) the size you want your rug to be. And you need a rug hook. It is one of those things like knitting and crocheting that is rhythmic and comforting to do.
