There is no way I am going to try to stick my blanket pin through the apron of my canvas kilt. My zebra pin has a much smaller pin, but it looks like it still messes up the threads a little.

I'm wondering if anyone has sewn on a small strip of fabric to the apron of a canvas kilt to stick the pin through? Maybe a matching tube of fabric for the blanket pin?

I have matching bias tape that I could use, but I'm wondering if anyone has tried this before I go to the trouble.
