This is a continuation of 2 previous posts about the making of the green Riley overalls. After making all of the components, I sewed them together. Several parts of the directions called for serging the edges. So, I dragged out my serger and had both machines going for a while.
I do love to sew and spend time in my studio. All of this was so much fun. I had some creeping doubts that the overalls would fit and be comfortable when I was done. That has happened to me several times when making clothes. But, I kept moving forward.
The directions for this pattern are very well done with lots of pictures and easy to follow directions. I got stuck at a few points and found a fantastic YouTube series of 7 videos from SewGnar. If you sew this pattern, you should follow her videos as well as follow with the directions. She and the directions DO conflict with each other in a few spots. But her videos are super helpful. Here is a screen shot of her making a pair of the short version of the overalls.
I had to un-sew a few seams, but otherwise, it was smooth sailing through most of the making of the overalls.
Only one more post to go to see the finished overalls.
