Thanks very much Pleater!!!
I followed your instructions... But it takes 1 and half hour for each pleat, so it will take some time before I post the final result...
I decided to pleat to the yellow stripe, as the red one would desapear in the tapering...
This picture i took yesterday:

You can see the pleat on the left is not very precise, as the horizontal lines do not match very well. I took more care in the others..
Today I made another pleat! Tomorow another one and I will join the two parts of the fabric on the saturday.
I will do the pleats near the apron last, so I will be able to correct some minor problems... I quite like the result so far. But the facings are a litle bit more wide than I expected... It should be 2" and after sewing is 2" 1/8. Like I will have 11 facings it can lead to more than 1" of my original plan. But, as I said, I can take this difference in the apron.
Another update after the weekend. I hope I can advance on the sewing...
