I started wearing overalls a long time ago. I mean, when I was a baby my parents used to dress me up in overalls and a matching denim bucket hat! This year I finally fit my mom's denim painter's overalls from the 90's and I love them.I wanted to try making overalls myself, but as a dress using corduroy. While searching for fabric in New York, I couldn't find any corduroy even at Mood! When I came back to the bay, I went to my usual, Discount Fabrics. They only had 2 colors of corduroy but I really liked this grey-ish/purple-ish corduroy.08-2017-Sewing-fashion-Corduroy-Overalls-dress-no-jacket-2Process:I used burda young 6538 for my pattern. Before starting I decided that I was going to put actual overalls buckles. (I got mine from Botani Trimmings in New York). I made some adjustments to the pattern. I made the silhouette more boxy instead of bell-shaped. I changed the straps so they were longer and less thick by finishing the edges by folding 1/4" inwards. I also put the pockets on the sides instead of the front like a sweatshirt pocket.08-2017-Sewing-fashion-Corduroy-Overalls-dress-process-sewing-zipper08-2017-Sewing-Fashion-Corduroy-Overalls-Dress-Process-Pockets-Before08-2017-Sewing-fashion-Corduroy-Overalls-dress-process-pockets-after08-2017-Sewing-fashion-Corduroy-Overalls-dress-Process-Front08-2017-Sewing-fashion-Corduroy-Overalls-dress-process-back08-2017-Sewing-fashion-Corduroy-Overalls-dress-process-strap-before8-2017-Sewing-Fashion-Corduroy-Overalls-Dress-Straps-Detail-208-2017-Sewing-Fashion-Corduroy-Overalls-Dress-Back-Zipper-Detail08-2017-Sewing-Fashion-Corduroy-Overalls-Dress-Back-Side-DetailThe shoot:08-2017-Sewing-fashion-Corduroy-Overalls-dress-side-profile  08-2017-Sewing-fashion-Corduroy-Overalls-dress-no-jacket-3  08-2017-Sewing-fashion-Corduroy-Overalls-dress-arms-crossedlove,laurPS.
