#memademay2025 and it’s Day 2.
I wear me made everyday so this year, I’ll just be posting things that are new for me. By new that’s a new way of wearing, layering and extending the usefulness of a make I already have, or something I’ve sewn to fill a gap in my wardrobe - a repeat tried and tested memade.
These are the #rubyoveralls by @helens__closet
I’ve wanted a pair of overalls for ages and never made them thinking I just liked the idea of them but would I ever wear them? Haven’t taken these off unless they are in the wash since I finished making thrm. They have deep in seam pockets secured at the waist band (no drooping!) a comfy elastic back, semi fitted through the hip, and a wide leg. They work with a tee, a knit, a blouse… and layered under a jumper, so cosy. Cold has hit Sydney!
Fabric is a medium weight cotton drill that will soften and fade with further wear.
Size 10 although next time I would do a size 8. There is plenty of room to get in and out. I made only one mod which was to shorten the bodice to suit my height - all of Helen’s closet patterns come with such clear and extensive instructions for how to do this.
Worn with trusty merino #nikkotop
