    I sat down and hand sewed the hem on a Stillwater Heavyweight in about 3 or 4 evenings. No, I am not real good with needle and thread. Like Sir Danial says, getting the pleats pressed back properly is not easy.

    I've done a couple of SWK's. pressing and hand-stitching takes me about 2 hours.
