I added about 4cm on the fold (8cm in total) and then put in the pleats by folding the fabric (one pleat used up a bit more than 1cm). The trim is added with the serger, folded up and than top-stitched.
Adding the pleats makes it a 'more than 90 minute shirt' but then I enjoy the part of playing around a bit.

Cheryl, sewing and your show sounds like an excellent idea. I could try to beam myself. Looking forwards to seeing the shorts.
This is just lovely! I am in awe. I am daunted by pleats, but I might have to give it a try.
