The part of the kilt that I was least satisfied with was the buttonhole. I feel it would work well to sew a buttonhole with a machine onto the lining fabric, cut it and then stitch it by hand to the kilt. This would eliminate any loose threads in the lining fabric when you cut it as the cut lining material would be reinforced by the zig-zag stitching before cutting and make for a better finish in this area of the kilt. Thoughts?
