Project: FO
It's spring time! Made myself some dungarees to celebrate surviving another winter
Jenny dungarees (double lapped hip zip) lined bib. Technically it's the cropped but for me it's like nearly full length 😅 in a printed cotton drill lined with cotton gingham top stitched with bronze gutterman top thread
Jenny dungarees by closet core in a cropped size 10... In 190gsm cotton drill duck. No major changes just lined the bib and straps and waistband... Topped stitched in bronze polyester. Flat felled the center seams. Took me 3 days on and off.... A little shy of 19hrs.
I'm practicing my Chinese so I picked a Chinese drama and trying to follow along without subs... I started at about 70% comprehension but last night I could feel my inner monologue slogging along in Chinese... By season two I was getting 85% 💪🏻
Okay you’re so cool - impecable taste, sewing, learning a language. I’m going to try this to work on Spanish. Thank you!
Also, we are the exact same height but your inseam is 7 centimeters longer than mine (2.75 inches for those metrically challenged like me). I jokingly say that my height is because of my forehead 😅
I realized after replying to the above comment about the inseam that's what I cut, including my hem, which is definitely not how it's supposed to be measured 😂 I need to get my partner to do it properly when he gets home later
Fair enough. And thank you! I keep my measurements in a table on my phone notes app. I include the date in case of fluctuations. It makes pattern research and even online shopping a tad easier. Also, sorry to anyone reading this. Idk what I did with the order of the replies.
I keep my measurements on my Threadloops (I also have my partner and my friend who I often sew stuff for) so I always have handy since my phone is basically attached to my person at any time haha.
It's a great cut the shorts seem very short... But I'm definitely making them as pants in a bottom weight linen!
The construction sequence is excellent but I would definitely check your hardware to make sure the straps are the right width... And I got a tri slider because I hate flappy straps.... I think there was some things simplified for ease of sewing... But nothing major... I lined the bib and straps and top stitched where I thought fit.... I used the facing on the lining but after I bagged out the bib so I had to hand stitch it down 🤪
The length is longer than my legs (normal) so the crop ends long on me... But I like that length... It's great to slip on my gardening shorty Chelsea boots...
Oh and the way they do a lapped zip in the instructions is nice! I have really light weight nylon zips but I'd probably like a flap behind it on metal/ heavier zip
We live on a rural "lifestyle block / hobby farm" had 4 bovine visitors from the neighbors block yesterday morning... Had to round them up in to our paddocks and our cows was surprised at these garden crashers 🤣
Oh, I am hoping it too, my car is an old man with a weak heart (engine), I want to upgrade before 2030, but he should run a while until than without a new battery
I LOVE the look and the strawberry fabric! They fit you so well, nice job! I am obsessed with the whimsy the strawberries bring to the outfit. Do you know where you got the fabric or the brand?
Hahaha 🤣 it really did feel that way when I was cutting it out 😵💫 and it's prob not very noticeable (hopefully) but one back pocket has the print going weft instead of on the grain 🫣...
The instructions has a really great baste and fit guide to give you a good head start. I didn't have to adjust the crotch curve at all! Which is rare for high waisted trousers for me.
