THAT is an impressive accomplishment! You will probably find yourself reaching for this kilt for any number of jobs, chores, errands, and outings.

Canvas kilts are easy to press. Lay the pleats on the narrow end of the ironing board and allow the top of the kilt (above the hip line) to hang off the end. Working with only a handful of pleats at a time, adjust them into proper alignment and press. Work the next sets of pleats into position on the board in the same way.
One other suggestion is to sew right along the edge of the pleats on the inside, or the outside, or both, to make them permanent. Even sewing just the inside (from hem to as far as the machine foot can reach near the fell) makes the job of aligning the pleats far easier at pressing time because they will fall neatly into line.
Again, congratulations on a job well done.
