Greetings! Astrid here. Jane and Kirsten have gone camping with friends C & P. While they are gone, I am making a pair of overalls for Jane. I already made a pair for Kirsten, and she said they were perfect for camping. I have altered my overalls pattern a little bit, so the Jane overalls will look a little different from Kirsten's. I am using the same mauve denim on both pairs, just different linings and accents.
This is how Jane's overalls look so far. I hand-sewed the heart on the front. To make a heart, you just cut two identical heart shapes, then sew them together with right sides facing. Then pull the front and back apart with your fingers and snip, with your scissors, a little slit, on the side you do not want facing out. Then, you pull the heart right-side-out, through the slit and press. Oh yeah, clip those curves before you turn the shape right-side-out. You have a heart. I decided not to machine sew it on, as it would look tacky, so I hand sewed it. This pair is fully lined, so I cut two sets of every piece, one set from the mauve, and another set from the plaid lining. I don't know if I will have them done, by the time Jane and Kirsten return. I think they will be cute!
Once they are complete, I will post instructions. I have to muddle my way through and get the lining part correct, before I go posting instructions. Smile!
