Cunning!
My teal underskirt has always been an bit too long, and I've been loathe to cut the black bands off the bottom and start again because it's too much work for right now.
So I 'pintucked' 3 bands at knee height. You'll never see them, and I've taken about 5 cm out of the length. It also adds a bit of firmness at that point, a little like a rope skirt, but not quite.
And when I've finally ruined the hem beyond repair, I can unpick the pin tucks, and chop the bottom off!
Also:
Cut the velveteen bands for Salmon sleeves
Halved the waistband of the terracotta underskirt, and bound it with cotton tape and the machine
Machined the final shirt, and I can finish this on site. Later. So don't care right now.
Packed the pile of wine bar linen, including a spare sheet for dividing the tent.
Tested the concept - Salmon frock pic has little lines of white on the hem, 3. I've got 3 lines of black cording pinned on, and I like it but need a second pair of eyes. I should be able to VERY CAREFULLY! machine this on. Done in a jiffy. And again with the adding of stiffness.

Christ, I'm fanging for a beer.
