All you needed was a straight piece of fabric with a hem and a casement to slip the hoop into. (I like the idea of turning up enough to make the big pockets--would have made a good clothespin apron.) "In those days" we ironed everything and it was a lot easier to iron a straight piece of fabric than one gathered onto a waistband. The plastic hoop went around the waist--quick and easy!
