Actually Rocky you can sew from the bottom of the fell up when sewing the reverse pleats.

Ladies kilts would normally have the pleats running in the opposite direction, so I was thinking they wouldn't do that if it was really so difficult.

Rocky was refering to when using a sewing machine not hand stitching.

So how do you sew a ladies' kilt on a machine? Not that I want to make one, I'm just curious. Could this be why Sport Kilt makes all theirs the same as their men's kilts?

All the others I've seen have been the opposite of men's ones, i.e. they close on the other side and the pleats run the other way around. In fact it's a telltale sign at renfests when you see guys who have their pleats running the wrong way around, so you know that they have 'converted' them from ladies' kilts by changing the closing.
