22 March 07 - 11:44Tartan
Tartan originated in Ireland, and when Irish people moved over to Scotland they took it with them.
By 1730 the patterns had changed from simple stripes and patterns into what today would be called tartan, from the French word tartaine. In 1730, the modern-day kilt was made originally worn by an Englishman!
There is evidence that Celts have used striped and checked material for thousands of years. Tartan is made of different colours of material and it is then woven together. It is a pattern made up of criss cross design.
When people say Tartan most people think about Kilts,the national dress of Scotland.
I got the pattern from The
interactive tartan maker
