How wonderful! congrats to your grand daughter for having so much
determination, and congrats to you and her family (and her teacher) for
obviously encouraging her.
Still want to see pics of the costumes you are going to make!

The terrific part is that she does her practicing *every day*
without any push form her parents. She really likes doing it.

Well, I sent off the first two costumes to the teacher without
taking pics. When I get into making a genuine kilt, I'll be
documenting the process. I doubt I'll go the "hand sewn" way of
the Scottish kiltmakers, but we'll see. And making those velvet
vests and jackets should be a ton of fun.
