It would also take much less denim.

If you take a length of fabric to form the inner fold of the pleats below the fell - either something blue or black - or a bright pattern, then cut strips, sew them together to form the fell and the apron and then add the pleated fabric either in strips or top stitch the denim down onto it. Make the deep under apron pleats full length, waist to hem for free movement and make the under apron too.

Actually, this is what I was hoping to do...my only problem is I'm having trouble wrapping my head around how to make the pleats out of two seperate materials. I'm more of a visual person and can't seem to find anywhere online that'll show an example of how they'd be stitched together. :/
