I was at a flea market at AllyPally and found 9 meters of this tartan. I= t had a small swatch cut from the end, otherwise it was untouched and had b= een sitting in some woman's basement for a couple of decades. (Original pri= ce tag was still there, and I got it for about that much).
The Creek, also called the Muscogee, are tribe of Native Americans who w= ere moved from their native lands on the Trail of Tears. Before America bet= rayed their trust, they fought on the side of the Americans during the Fren= ch-American war under the leadership of a Scot named Dude Macintosh. In tha= nks, Macintosh commissioned this tartan for the tribe. He also married= into the tribe and his son became on of the tribal leaders.
This is the first traditional kilt I have made =E2=80=93 first time= I had enough fabric. It was also the first time I used a pleating techniqu= e I saw on youtube, where you use basting stitched to lace up the side of t= he pleat from the outside, allowing you to get the good line ups you need f= or the tartan.
