I made some coveralls.

I am not sure what triggered this, maybe it was the sign that said Simplicity patterns, $1.99, or maybe it was wanting something to wear for an interesting halloween costume? I found this patterns for making your own coveralls. There was a qr code with a video to follow along for the sewing instructions. Awesome. I searched on youtube to see if the follow along instructions were posted there. Another awesome, they were. Looking over the patterns with all the little symbols was a bit intimidating. I looked at another video that had a breakdown of how to read a pattern which was really helpful. With this new found knowledge, I took a drive to to get some interesting fabric. At M and L fabrics, I got mad looks from all the older ladies gathering their quilting pieces. They were boxing me out of some of the rows with their carts. I found some interesting fabric. They have so much fabric on the racks that you may not find the same fabric again. The thing is I forgot how many yards I was going to need for the coveralls. I started cutting up the pieces and what a blunder, I didn't get enough fabric. A week or two later I went back and found a solid color of teal that is very close to the teal bits on the pattern. It was great to have a video follow along. Almost like a tutor to guide me in my work, so I must thank you Mr. Norris Danta Ford. I had a problem with the bottom part of the zipper that makes it stick out funny. I will have to revisit it and adjust it. The coveralls ended up being really huge in size. So they are roomy. I got a belt and a little pouch to help slim them down. The finish product reminds me of some coveralls a mechanic would wear in the 2nd Back to the Future movie. I could see them on some guy in the background while Marty is zipping around on the hoverboard avoiding on coming traffic.
