Sewing down pleats of thrifty... How to?
Hi All,
Just picked up a thrifty kilt for my 11 year old son, along with sporran, belt hose, sgian etc.
He is really excited, and proud to wear it, and I proud of him.
For the cost, it is perfect for a growing kid. My questions is can anyone point me to some tutorial, or good descriptions on how to sew the pleats down? I knew that when I ordered it it was with un-sewn pleats, but didn't think it would bother me, but if it is simple I think it would improve the kilt.
I have searched over the forum, but no luck.
Is it as simple as running the sewing machine down the edge of each pleat for 6 or so inches, or are there other considerations to be made?
Thanks for anyone's tips in advance.
Scott
