Moving Straps-Help!

[fluter]

Just for the record, this is how I've done it: on the left side, move the strap on the under-apron. On the right side, move the buckle(s).

We kept saying the straps, plural... but the right-hand side strap(s) on the apron should not have to be moved.

fluter is correct. on the right side you carefully cut off the tabs holding the buckles. Then move these the required amount to make the Kilt fit.

On the under-apron you carefully cut off the strap. Then re-locate it to the outer side of the under apron in from the edge the same amount you moved the buckles.

This means the under-apron strap is now not on the apron edge but on the front of the under apron.

When you sew the buckle tabs and strap back on you sew all the way through the layers of the Kilt.

Yes - you move only the one underapron strap (moving it toward the center of the underapron to make the kilt smaller) and only the apron edge buckle(s). It doesn't do any good to move the buckle that's next to the buttonhole.
