Staystitch the curved side transitions on the Apron Main Body. Turn the side and lower edges to the wrong side in two narrow folds, press the curves smoothly, and topstitch the double-fold hem without stretching the bib.
Turn and stitch the upper edge of the Bib Patch Pocket, then press its side and lower allowances to the wrong side. Transfer the pencil-slot line and reinforce the top and bottom of that line with short backstitches.
Finish the upper edge of the Divided Tool Waist Pocket and press its remaining allowances under. Transfer every printed studio tool-slot line before pinning the pocket to the Apron Main Body.
Topstitch the Bib Patch Pocket and Divided Tool Waist Pocket to their placement marks. Sew each vertical tool-slot division from the lower edge to the pocket opening and bartack the upper end so loaded tools cannot tear the pocket.
Finish both Cross-Back Straps, check that they are equal in length, and place their ends right sides together against the upper bib corners. Stitch and turn the straps upward, then secure each attachment with a reinforced Box-X.
