I haven't tried a "sloped" kilt -- Bob can wear his pretty level -- but I always figured to put the slope into the waistband rather than the hem. Otherwise you are hemming on a slant, which is OK on some fabrics but fairly noticeable on others (and a real no-no on tartan, of course!). The Wizard was going to reveal how he does it ("I'll discuss how to actually build Slope into the waistband of your Kilt in my next post") in this thread, but hasn't gotten there yet. Such a tease

Anyway, no need to wish you luck -- you've either got all you can use, based on the "sewing miracle," or that confluence of events has already used up more than you can ever gather!
