Hi
Has anyone made overalls out of an Oliver + S pattern? I am looking to make some for my 6 year old daughter. If not- any suggestions on good patterns? thanks!

Made many pants, Joslyn but not overalls; although lately I have been thinking about adding front/straps to the Sandbox pants. This is one of my favourite pants patterns c/o O + S. Roomy and stylish.

Someone suggested on another thread using the Sailboat pants as a base pattern for overalls, since the front panel of those pants already looks overall-ish. I haven’t done it (in fact, I have yet to sew those pants), but I can see how altering the front would work. Not sure about the back, though.

What about the sailboat pants connected to the front and back centre panels of the seashore sundresss?

What a good idea, H.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I ended up finding a pattern with another designer ( peek a boo pattern shop) and they look great.I tried to upload a picture but it isn’t working. I think I might try a skirt-overall dress using the sailboat skirt as avocet though!
