So, now the over apron strip-I read the instructions, and then realized I'm not sure what this is for? Can't the velcro just go on the waistband? So, I tried to read ahead and get a better idea, but, remember the martini? I gave up and just decided to follow the instructions, trusting in Alan H to see me through. I cut out a 3 inch wide strip of material, 10 inches long (I am planning a 10 inch over apron).



I locked down the edge (the same way as I did the hem, but this took much less time, being 10 inches rather than 135 inches)



Then, cutting out a piece of velcro (6 inches long-i.e. 4 inches shorter than the over apron)



I sewed it on as per instructions, except that the instructions said to sew the 2 inch wide strip of velcro 1.25 inches down on the 3 inch strip of fabric. Seeing as how 1.25 inches and 2 inches makes 3.25 inches and I only had 3 inches width of fabric, I decided that Alan H was also probably drinking and sewing. I did the best I could.



I really sewed it on tight, with two lines of zig zag stitch on either end. If this is messed up, there is no way I am going to be able to rip this seam out-I'll just have to start again if that is necessary.



At this point, Panache was begining to wonder if I was just going to sew all night. I said I would watch the last episode of Shogun with him. About 2 hours-just enough time to sew the hem....
