I’m using it to extend the flap that goes under. I agree the match isn’t great… but I may not have any other choice. I ran across a vintage kilt/skirt in this tartan a while back, but declined to purchase it. I was concerned the weight/color?size of the pattern wouldn’t match.

Then go for it and don't look back.
I believe in offering every assistance short of actual help but then mainly just want to be left to be myself in all my difference and uniqueness.

The problem you are going to have if the aprons don't completely over lap is the gap (slit) may be revealing when just going about routine standing sitting business
"YES SKIRTING MATTERS"!
"Kilt-On" -or- as the case may be "Skirt-On" !
WHY ?
Isn't wearing a kilt enough?
Well a skirt will do in a pinch!
Make mine short and don't you dare think of pinching there !
