    So you've had some time to complete it. Let's check it out. I just finished my first one and even though my measurements were spot on, mine was too loose I blame my soft belly and the denim I used. You can always let it out in the front apron pleat. It's your first it doesn't have to be perfect justgetting some experience for the next and better one.

    Something I learned the hard way, especially when working with multiple layers of thick fabric: measure your waistband progress along the inside of the top! Measuring on the outside can result in, well, a measurable difference.
