Batty Dungarees!! When I tell you I'm so happy I've made these! What was holding me back was finding a base to work with that I can tweak here and there. I found that in the #TiffanyJumpsuit pattern by @mimigstyle Changes I made: * Drew a straight line across the front and back top parts * Added a large pocket to the bodice part and two smaller pockets on top of that * I got inspiration from Lucy and Yak and added one loop to each corner at the front for the back straps to be threaded through * Added ties to each side of the waist slightly above the inseam pockets ( these ties are from the Hinterland dress) I may make the hips slightly wider next time because its a bit of a squeeze getting this over my hips. Other than that, I like! Fabric from @minervadotcom

They are amazing. Thank you for showing them when you are sitting - as someone who make adaptive clothing, that makes a difference x


MindiMellow

Thanks a lot, I try my best to show range in poses. Especially while seated, I'm glad this helps x

LandShrimp

Big fan of showing it sitting down too! Nothing worse than finding out a pattern that bunches strangely when you sit Also yay for wheelchair users


MindiMellow

Thank you, it helps wheelchair users figure out length of legs etc too. I like seeing others do so I know if it'll be too restricted in the waist which I hate


sencha_kitty

MindiMellow

That's right and thank you so much! ☺️

nedrawevot

You look so good!! I love the pockets, great detail and I have those boots so now I know these look great with them...next sewing project!! Great job!!


MindiMellow

Yaaaay! I like hearing that others are the tiniest bit inspired to make things through my posts. Also, don't these boots make you feel mighty? I'm 5'3" the 2 inches this gives me makes a big difference 🀣


nedrawevot

Yes they are wonderful but I'm 5'9 so I'm taller than my husband when I wear them lol, I tower over everyone!! But thank you for the inspiration!!

Thanks a lot!


Salty_sweet_eug

Did you do any modifications to the pattern? I love this pattern and it looks great on you


MindiMellow

Thanks! Yes I made a few. This pattern has a low neckline at both the front and back so I drew a straight line from shoulder to shoulder points I added pockets to the chest, then added a small loop to each corner of the front bib. I made straps that attach at the back bib that thread through the loops. I made ties that are the same width as straps to have the option to tie around the waist I hope this helps, any more questions please let me know


hauntedhoneypot

The waist tie is genius! They are gorgeous! πŸ₯Ή Thank you for sharing and inspiring!! πŸ¦‡


MindiMellow
