Sewing instructions
General steps to sew this garment. Seam allowance is 1 cm (3/8") unless stated otherwise.
Supplies
- Denim or canvas
- Overall buckles or buttons
- Matching thread and the right needle
- Prewash and press your fabric before cutting so it will not shrink after sewing.
- Print the pattern at 100%, check the test square and cut the pieces following the cutting list. Transfer notches, darts and button marks.
- Use topstitching thread and a denim needle; finish seams with a decorative double topstitch.
- Prepare the patch pockets (hem the top, press the edges under) and topstitch them in place.
- Sew the outseams, then the inseams of each leg.
- Put one leg inside the other, right sides together, and sew the crotch seam in one go, matching the inseams.
- Attach the front and back bibs at the waist and finish the edges with facings.
- Make the straps (turned fabric tubes), adjust the length during a try-on and sew them in place.
- Hem: double-fold to the inside, press and topstitch or blind stitch.
