Sew a modern take on classic overalls with The Sewing Hive. We’ll use the Jenny Overalls and Trouser pattern by Closet Core to sew up full-length or cropped overalls with a bib, utility pocket, side zipper, and slash pockets on the front and/or back patch pockets. You also have a choice of wide-leg or tapered-leg pants. You will also get tips on successful topstitching on your overalls.

This pattern has been recently re-released with the tapered leg option and a wider size range. The two size ranges are 0-20 (24-39” waist/33-48” hip) and 14-32 (36-54” waist/47.4-65.2” hip). Purchase the pattern in the correct size range for your measurements.

Materials and Supplies:

1. The Jenny Overalls and Trouser pattern in your size range
2. Appropriate yardage of bottom-weight fabric (mid-weight denim, twill, pinwale corduroy, mid-weight canvas, medium-weight linen). You must wash and dry your fabric before class #1.
3. One yard of Pellon ShapeFlex interfacing (or Bosal 300 Woven fusible interfacing)
4. One or two 7” all-purpose nylon coil zippers (NOT metal, invisible, separating, jacket, sport)
