Thanks for the welcome and the hints, everyone! I'm not very experienced at sewing (unless you want a dog bed, which is what I originally bought the sewing machine to make...), so pardon my newbie questions.

Here's some images that should help. I think I've messed a few things up, but I'm Ok with that. I've got what feels like a lot of extra fabric in there, and haven't trimmed a few things (like the a-frame overapron hem) because I want to make sure that I'm doing the right thing before I cut something off. ;)

First, here's the backside of the over-apron and over-apron pleat. Click for an enormous version if you want to zoom in.



Here's how the kilt looks right now from the front.



Now, here's where I have the question. The piece that's hanging in midair is the top of that big deep pleat. The over-apron strip (which is about two feet long) is the part with the velcro stitched on to it, and the un-trimmed edge of the a-frame hem is on the right with the pin through it.

Is that right? Looks like it is. If it's right, where should I *end* that part? Should it go all the way across the A-frame or should it just kind of end where the velcro ends? Or does it matter? Obviously I'll trim it down as needed, and things are just tacked in place right now pending Knowing What I'm Doing (tm).



Thanks for the tip that the part the velcro's stitched to is just to hide the velcro stitching. That makes sense. I just don't want the stitches that are holding the over-apron strip to show through the front of the apron ... or am I worrying about nothing, not having put it together yet? ;)
