Done stitching the waistband, have to wait for Bob to get home so I can place second piece of Velcro. Meantime I'll check his Union Kilt for cargo pocket ideas.

Top edge, finished.


On the floor, back view.


Interim resolution of the front apron Velcro. I had to cut the original backing piece out of the front apron finished edges, so I sewed it down to a second, larger backing piece and stabilized all edges. RH edge is machine-sewn to the underside of RH front apron hem, top is sewn into waistband, LH edge is hand-sewn to inside of first pleat LH edge. If this results in some funny front apron/pleat pulling, I'll re-do it -- might end up with some extra stitching showing on the outside, que sera.
