Shortening a Kilt

[Tetley]

I have a 22.5" drop which means that if I buy an off-the-shelf kilt for my 40" waist, the standard 24" drop is too long. So last night I started taking up the hem on one of my kilt. It's a 5 yard Poly Viscose kilt and took 2.5 hours to do including hand sewing the hem and re-pressing the pleats.

Halfway through the job I realised I should have taken some photos and posted so if anyone is interested, I'll document and photograph the next one & post it here.

Let me know...
