Hello all,

Sorry i haven't posted in a while i have a mate staying over, and been busy being a host.

But i'll break in with the good news ive lost weight.... yyaaaayyy

Bad news one of my kilts does not fit, i have not checked my other two kilts yet. But there only cheap PV ones. Im holding fire with buying woolen kilts until stop losing weight.

But im wearing my saffron kilt which i have not wore in a while, last time i wore it was couple of months ago and i was on the third from last hole on belt strap and now its fully done up and its very loose.

Its actually around my trouser waist now and is sitting very comfortably at my hips. Im sorry if i offend some people i really dont mean to but i wanted a kilt to sit this low for use in the summertime. So i believe i have the one to do so.

But i think i need to make some adjustments, i have no digital camera but im thinking of investing in one soon. So sorry i cant take photos of how it is now.
But the bottom of the fell is at the bottom of my buttocks. (where it meets the thigh) It does not look good, it curves in under my buttocks and then drops. I'm thinking of taking some of the fell stiches out until it is at where the fell should be and shortening the length of the kilt to top of the knee to re-adjust the kilt to fit at the trouser waistline.

What do you say, is it worth the time and effort, its useless to me at the moment, so to me its worth doing.
Am i going about it the right way, shortening the fell stitches and overall length?
If so, would it be best to cut the overall length or tuck up and stitch?

I look forward to your replies,

All the best
Gavin
