After making Tildy some dungarees I would like to bump @Helena’s suggestion of a dungarees/overalls/romper/playsuit pattern.

Me too!

@DarcyStruble there was some discussion of how it could be done starting on this thread page: http://oliverands.com/community/forums/topic/your-wish-list/page/22
I fully intend to give this a go. I haven’t done it before but I think I’ve got my head around how it should work. I can do it for my next Oliver + S blog post. But that could mean about…[Read more]

That’s a great idea @withloveHeidi and they will be great for afterwards when all is healed as sport track pants that she can put on without yet having to take shoes off. The pattern should be perfect.
I should make some waterproof over pants for my son’s ride to school in winter. Good thinking Heidi (again)

I think a lot of places will ship fabric on the bolt if you order the right quantity. I don’t know about Fabric Mart, however, they do have some chambrays in stock now, one in large quantity, and they’ve got a pyramid sale going so you can get a good discount: http://www.fabricmartfabrics.com/Chambray/

Stripper pants Heidi?!! :0

I don’t think I see anything wrong, either. Could you rephrase “the top inner corners right sides and mine are sewed” — I’m afraid I don’t understand that part.

I am so sorry, I can’t see the problem.
Does the underarm side seam match up?

I think your fabric choice is the key to that decision.
Both sew up beautifully in a draping fabric (wool, silk) but I think the Late Lunch is a bee’s whisker more flattering in a firmer woven (linen, chambray)

I wonder if the collar doesn’t look a bit snappier in a woven too.

Just my opinion, of course.

Two more.

Here are the photos @dlaviola sent me

Thanks so much for your help, Nicole! I am still floundering between the Late Lunch Tunic and the Cappuccino Tunic (ugh, decisions, decisions). . .THANK YOU!

Hmmm, I still can’t see them. I shot you an e-mail.
