Thanks, Barb! Now if only I could find the time to do these alterations I could rejoin the land of the kilted without fear that every time I put one of my kilts on, it'll fall down to my ankles. Went down from 38" waist to 32"... So yeah, pretty much every kilt I own needs alteration so I'll have plenty of opportunity to practice my skills... Someday. Lol.
