the little bits of hem in a properly-made kilt

[Kiltman]

I raise the outer edge of the under apron pleats at the waist, so there is a triangle of double fabric 1/4 to 1/2 an inch higher than the rest of the top edge of the aprons, tapering down to nothing at the start of the pleats.

Fascinating.

Love to see an illustration of this. Is it possible?

I've tried this approach and it results in some awkwardness in the front apron hang. Better, IMHO, to hem up the inner fold of that pleat as Barb T describes.
