Glad to hear you're recovering!
If you're flipping the tartan and changing the pleating, were the previous pleats not scalloped out at the fell?

There were no cutouts in the fell... this was an exhire kilt... I expect they did not want to take the additional labor for doing that. Also the bottom was hemmed for the length. By shortening it to a 6 yard, the area cut away for the left hip strap hole is removed. This will make for a nice installation of the left strap and buckle internal to the kilt, removing a high stress point where failure of the tartan occurs... I will likely trim out the fell to reduce bulk at the back waist area.

After a day of basting pleats...
Spent a good amount of time today basting pleats and doing some initial pressing.... tomorrow I hope to start stitching the fell on the pleats...IMG-20250910-WA0002.jpeg
