Sew along: By poppy #9: Overalls

 The idea

Some lovely overalls for my girl

The pattern

Overalls with adjustable straps, front and back pockets, side buttons

Additional info:

• 104-164 (EU) (ca 4yo-14yo), I'll make a 104.
  
• Recommended fabrics: stretch denims or ribs
  
• 4/4
  
• By poppy #9
  

The fabric

• ca 0,9 meter sand colored ottoman rib from rijstextiles
  
• ca 0,3 meter floral rib. 

Cutting the fabric.

I found the ottoman rib has its ribs in the width of the fabric, so in the other direction than corduroy has. That is why I cut the pattern on the cross-grain so the ribs would run up/down of the garment.

 

Pockets to the front

Lining the front

Pockets to the back

Lining the back

Back center seam and the back yoke.

Button flaps for the back.

Sewing button flap. Note, it is to low. The top of the flap (right on picture) should be leveled with the waistband (right on picture is the lining of the waistband.

Sewn.

Right sides showing. Note: the left part is the trouser part, the middle is the yoke and the right part will connect to the waist. The button flap should start here so the waist parts could also be buttoned up.

Making the front trousers, pockets.

Center seam has a faux fly flap.

Adding buttons.
