Sewing || Overalls.

Hello all you lovely people!

Right now as I am writing this it is raining outside and rather miserable, but by the time you read this I will be sailing towards the Pacific Islands on a cruise with my best friend! I'm going to be away from the 11th - 19th of January so any posts you get during that time will be scheduled. Feel free to comment and I will reply to you when I get back home!

Anyway, to the actual point of this post now.

The other day my mum brought home two bits of fabric and I was so excited to get my hands on them and turn them into something new. I'll tell you what though; new fabric can give you quite some stress. What are you going to make!? Don't waste that fabric now! Lucky for me, I'm really happy with how the overalls I made turned out, so I thought I would show them to you!

I pretty much never use patterns, but I got a pattern for a pair of shorts for FREE from the thrift shop the other day, so I thought I would put it to good use! (I'm thinking of doing a giveaway with a pair of the shorts I have made, let me know what you think!) So anyway, I used the pattern for the bottom part of the overalls and then made the top similar to the one I made for my floral pinafore.  I made two long crossover straps, and then decorated them with mismatched buttons (yellow with red thread and red with yellow thread). I also made a big pocket for the front and found this "E" patch which I sewed on the front. 

I love them! They make me feel really childlike and I'm not saying that's a bad thing, because who doesn't want to be a little kid again!?

 

I absolutely love the E on the pocket, and I think it just adds something extra. They also remind me something but I just can't put my finger on what it is!

So what do you think of these overalls? Do you own any of your own?

I hope you're all having a wonderful January, and I will talk to you all when I get home!
