![]() And I figured I’d throw a couple of small waist darts in for better shaping. Narrower at the top, with some kind of pocket on the bib. I didn’t know precisely how I wanted the bib to be shaped, but I used photos of vintage pairs for ideas. If I’m in control of how they close, no thank you!!! Plus that meant I literally just needed to add a bib and straps to a jeans pattern I already had nailed down, with no back sides or anything like that. ![]() I know from my past history with vintage-style overalls that I cannot stand having to unbutton overalls at the side. Hidden zipper in the pocket to close them. ![]() To turn them into overalls, I needed a bib and straps. Yes, that does resolve the pocket gaping issue that annoys me, so I’ll use this variation on front pockets on this style of jeans going forward. The thighs ended up feeling a bit tighter than my other pair, but after one wearing they’re loosening up already, so I was right to leave them be and not let the seam allowance out any.Īnd of course I changed the front slash pockets to scooped out pockets, which started me on this journey in the first place. I just used the same pattern as my last pair, but with the transferred fit changes I made during basting. I decided to make straight up overalls, instead. Then I realized that meant they’d need to not have belt loops: jeans without belt loops just aren’t jeans to me, and overalls with belt loops look weird to me. I used to loooove wearing vintage style overalls, several years ago.įor awhile, I thought I’d make them convertible, so they could be worn as jeans or overalls. So I thought hey, why don’t I make black jeans! But then for some reason, I had the idea to do overalls. I knew it would be great with white topstitching. ![]() I’m not generally a fan of black jeans but this is almost like a charcoal, and a nice light weight (10 oz stretch). I had some lightweight black Cone Mills denim I’d be hoarding for years, back from when I bought my very first Ginger jeans kit. So while I was in a jeans mood, I wanted to try scooped pockets (like my red twill pants). I mentioned that dilemma in my last jeans post of doing the slash pockets and some gaping. I really wanted to try a scooped out front pocket on a pair of 1950s style jeans. While I was making my latest pair of jeans, I hatched another idea that I started working on slowly: a pair of overalls. ![]()
