Agreed.

I can think of two areas to pay attention to: 1) Without the tartan stripes to act as guides, be extra careful with measuring and marking before sewing, and 2) where the book says "stretch and skew to keep the stripes straight" when doing apron edges, just "stretch and skew" the best you can so the top edge of the fabric lines up (you'll see.)

Have fun, too.
