Answer: yes you can though you may have to rip out more than two, ...

If you haven't sewn in the waistband, you can rip out pleats at the beginning and re-sew. HOWEVER....just how HORRIBLE are they?

I too was going to suggest giving yourself a bit of charity on the first one.

If you do need to do them over, here's a hint from Herself: I was imagining how difficult it would be to re-stitch a pleat when I'd already done the subsequent ones. Barb pointed out that since I'm going to cut out the back of the pleat anyway, I could split the back down to an inch above the fell, where it will be cut out; and then get my hand in underneath to stitch!
