@Harusho hi!

This one:
“I shortened the length of the skirt with my sewing kit.”

Yes, you can say,
“I shortened the length of the skirt using my sewing kit.”

Maybe another way I’d use would be,

“I shortened the length of my skirt using a sewing kit. It was too long for me.”

‎I fixed the length of the skirt to short with my sewing kit. I repaired the length of the skirt to short with my sewing kit. I shortened the length of the skirt with my sewing kit. Which do you prefer and is correct? Is this expressions natural? My skirt was long. Can I also say that I changed "with my sewing kit" to "using my sewing kit"? (4)
