How to attach the Newsome-style left-hand strap?

If the buckle is only attached to the one layer of fabric . . .[snip]

As I said, the inner buckle is attached much the same as the outer buckle (as Barb T instructs for outer buckle).

There is a line of backstitching through all layers, just back of the center buckle. The balance of the buckle loop is sewn through all but the outermost layer of underapron (facing and hair canvas).

Barb T's inner buckle attachment scheme is beautifully shown in a new thread (here) where her handiwork on a box pleat is documented. She's put hers on the right side of the underapron, which I will most likely do in future. The photo on Matt Newsome's website didn't clearly show which side the buckle sat on, and those photos were the only guideline I had at the time. Live and learn! which is why I am posting these thoughts and details.
