My Skirt-Overall Faze
Saturday, October 08, 2016
Ok so my most recent pixie faire pattern I bought was the 'Not your brothers overalls' and I have been sewing it a lot. This always happens, I buy a pattern and then only sew that for a few weeks until I buy another one :) So here are the 3 overalls I've sewn recently.
Cecile in the purple straight overalls.
This was my first time sewing this pattern, and I love the groovy fabric that I used. It made it a real stand out piece and was super fun to make.

The pattern has two variations of the overall or skirt-all and the one that Cecile is wearing is the straight bottom version.
Isabelle in a retro ballet overall
The fabric I used for this one was actually bought way back in 2014, when I first started blogging. (on my old blog) I bought it to make a ballet inspired duvet for her, I had some leftovers and 2 years later I made this! It was pretty nostalgic making this overall.
So this is the retro variation. It was definitely more simple to make this one, I found anyway.
Kendall with Log and the new guy Luke (according to my sister)
The final one I made was a dog inspired one, my sister had some fabric that my mum said I could use, it was in the garage ok?! And when I had finished sewing with it, my sister found out. Let's just say she got a bit annoyed.
But it was worth it, I only have one pic of this one because I don't like how they turned out. I tried to fix Kendall's wonky eye and I think I made it worse and then her hair got caught in the zip of the bag I was carrying her in for the photoshoot so it looked horrendous and I was on a tight time schedule to take these pics! ANYWHO.. I'll have a post about the eye fixing soon :)
But I hope you enjoyed these overalls and please check out the pattern on pixie faire, it's such fun to sew and not too difficult! I'll be sewing much more of these babies in the future!
