Thanks for the great pattern, and fine looking forum. I'll post pics if anyone wishes.

Thanks for all the kind welcomes everyone, I appreciate it.

OK Got a question...

The piece of cloth 12" long and labeled "under apron pleat" on the Appendix 1: diagram. I'm not quite sure what to do with it ....

I think this is it...

The 3" piece labeled Inner fold of first pleat, goes back under the first pleat all three inches. Then the Under Apron Pleat simply folds from there to as far under the "over apron" as it will go, and folds back, leaving simply a very large inner pleat between the first pleat and the over apron.

Is this a correct interpretation of the instructions ?

Also it says in the section "Tack Down the Top of the Outer Apron" to "tack down about 3 inches of the very top of the over-aprons left edge to the waistband beneath it."

by "waistband beneath it" does it mean to tack it to the under apron pleat ? since we have not yet even cut out the waistband fabric.

Thanks
Gerald
