    True, but I don't think it can be done with just one flat piece of fabric. All the yokes I've seen have a seam down the middle that functions essentially as a dart.

    Barb is correct. When I described the panel as "flat" that was before sewing the darts in. Since I have no experience with this type of sewing I also lack the proper vocabulary to describe what I did. What I understand now as being called a yoke actually has darts in the center rear, half way between that dart and the side/ hip and at the hip and it wraps part way around the front to the apron. The total measurement of the yoke equals 2/3 of the waist measurement at the top and 2/3 of the hip measurement at the bottom creating somewhat of a cone shape.

    Wow.

    I can barely sew a button. Impressive. Love your badge as a "kilt pin".

    Btw, thanks for being a fire fighter.
