Remember the shawl collar coveralls I’ve been working on? They’re done!
The final product
I’m super happy with how they turned out. I decided to sew them up in an inexpensive denim as a wearable muslin to test. Later, I plan on making more of these with various collar shapes in bright, fun colors!
To jazz these up a bit, I added some fun details with sort of a punk/rockabilly style. I don’t have any tattoos but I wanted to take some of that inspiration here using patches. I also lined the pockets and waistband with black and white checks (a la Vans slip-ons – you know the ones).
After several past failures fitting coveralls and overalls, I feel like I finally nailed the fit this time. It wasn’t easy but hey – at least you can benefit from my struggles!! 😂
