From all I know about PV (I have 3 kilts made of it) yes you do need to wash the material first, as it may shrink slightly. As for the Hem, Bear actually makes his with a fringe along the bottom. This works really well for casual kilts and is likely a fair bit easier than a hem on such light material.
