Thanks! It was a really fun one to make and to wear.

I tried making these when I started sewing they looked so simple. What can I say I was new and silly and it ended poorly, I swore off pants unless they were pajamas. After some size merging and a muslin mock up, I made them my Rosie the Riveter overalls. They are a chambray linen blend with Swiss dots for the nasty summers we have here in southern Virginia. The blouse is made from quilting cotton I had and wasn’t sure why, and I used a combo of buttons left over from past projects. Both patterns are from Wearing History

I am in awe that you made overalls! And that blouse! I'm swooning!

The directions were wonderful and I did a muslin first. I draw and paint to me the muslin on an intimidating pattern is like a sketch for painting or drawing. You know work out the issues before anything is permanent

Dusting off this old thread to show my summer outfit from the Manhattan Vintage Show the other day. I made the jacket using drafting manuals from 1916-19, and the detachable collar, necktie and cuffs. I found a pre tied collar stud tie that was in abysmal shape and picked it apart for the hardware.

The jacket kicked my ass. It has a few flaws, but it fits! I've actually seen worse tailoring in period images than in my own coat. No pants yet. My sewing machine went on strike and it's in the repair shop.
