    Thankyou for the excellent help. I will only need to make a small adjustment about 1 inch so its great to hear that this is an easy and cheap way of keeping a kilt I love.

    For sewing leather, a sail makers palm or at least some pliers might be needed. Otherwise, the back end of a needle really hurts when it embeddes itself in your palm.

    As you will be using the same leather, which will have been perforated by the first stitching, it is best to use a slender needle rather than a chunky one or one with a cutting tip, and sew through the same holes - firstly it maintains the strength of the leather, and secondly it is a lot easier than trying to create a new set of holes.
