One last try - I'll keep this one shorter :-) (1) Overalls - yay!, (2) I'm making some too (McCall's 2244), (3) Can't wait to see how yours turn out - mine are iffy, since I'm new to sewing, but they're coming along. Love all the patches and your blog. Ok, trying again, here...Rachel Turnbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14866239906303125126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-77105540013737356472016-02-22T11:58:35.717-05:002016-02-22T11:58:35.717-05:00Beats Andy Devine!Beats Andy Devine!Peter Lappinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109154527996679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-84677228532868737142016-02-22T11:30:45.269-05:002016-02-22T11:30:45.269-05:00My overalls were my favorite back in the day.

In the 80s I wore overalls a lot but they were hideous baggy things pleated onto a yoke above the bust with straps that usually tied through a button hole. Like a great big frickin toddler. But they were very fashionable, and actually pretty damned comfortable so I can own that!MrsC (Maryanne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14440723067459232998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-3179014200574352102016-02-21T15:16:38.127-05:002016-02-21T15:16:38.127-05:00Oh, now I want a pair.

Those denim ones were made by Lee. But I did sew two pairs of overalls (one in brown velvet) when I was pregnant with my first child. Thereafter, I sewed a few pairs of overalls for my kids in heavy corduroy when they were under 5. It's been a couple of decades since I've worn overalls. Not sure it's such a good idea for me now. Although I might give it a go when I can rock a Grandpa Walton vibe another couple of decades from now. I loved Kristy McNichol. I think we are the same age, and I wanted her parents on that show. So calm and understanding.Erzulimojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475371609166418042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-43636773339553339452016-02-21T07:58:44.344-05:002016-02-21T07:58:44.344-05:00I vote for the multi-colored sun patch.

And it was probably easier to write the pattern too.
