I'm thinking quite seriously about trying that. In my case, there are two gotchas:

1. Since there is no taper from waist to butt, you'd have to do the calculations a la the XKilt instructions to ensure that you could still fit your butt into them once you were done, and

2. Remember me saying that the acrylic is very light. I'd be concerned about stitch visibility (although since I'd be stitching through at least 4 (if not 6) layers of cloth, that may not be as big a concern as I'm thinking it might).

I think that it would fit much more nicely (and would look nicer) if stitched from waist to fell. I wouldn't want to just tack at the fell line. I'd go whole hog.
