I did the bits of the hem before washing.

Here's the deep pleat, basted and now doing the hem stitch (herringbone-see The Art of Kiltmaking):



And the edge of the underapron. And yes, I cheated. I didn't take out the self facing, turn up the hem and then resew the facing. I was just too lazy.




Then we washed it and hung it as shown before, and I was getting ready to take it down, when I had a thought (and yes, it hurt a little). What better position to baste it in than hanging up?


As I worked my way up the pleats, I realized that there was one draw back. All right everyone, now hold your arms up above shoulder height...and hold them there....and hold them there....and hold them there...



My arms and shoulders really hurt the next day (yes, I'm not in very good shape!)

It was a hot evening, so my dear husband provided the refreshments:



And soon it was done!





But now, we must press the kilt...
