Halfway done

Now, I had enough material to make roughly two box pleats left... The other half went to "Celtic Cowboy" (Aaron Smith). He actually finished his long ago and I have not finished mine yet. But here's a little peek into the process.

All the pins have been removed from the apron, being it is basted at this time. Now I begin working on the pleats. As one can see, I'm pleating it to the yellow stripe.







Look folks, most of you can do this as well. It just takes patience.
