Well, I got the hem done on the bottom of the camo material. I'm getting ready to do the front apron. I've decided to go ahead and do this in a traditional style, i.e., like I would a tartan kilt. Modern kilts are all well and good, but I don't like the narrower aprons.

I cut a swatch of the olive material and did some test stitching like Steve suggested. It failed. Even though there isn't much stretch to the material, a line in the vertical puckers like a child going in for a kiss. Oh, well. At $8.00 for 8 yards of double width material I'm not gonna cry, we'll find a use or two for it.
