I hope thats Ill I brake! :)Shelleyjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223944949880318245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370970170301288861.post-10644449753063892602010-10-06T19:10:49.455-07:002010-10-06T19:10:49.455-07:00Neat!

This would only work with lightweight fabric, but since you're looking forward to drapiness, I assume that's what you're using.<br /><br />I'm wondering if the "shoulder" dart might be a problem later - that looks like a lot of layers to go through for a buttonhole. There's the side dart option, but that probably wouldn't give such a tight, smooth fit. How about just turning the darts into a princess seam? Just sumpthin that popped into my head, plus it might be pretty with neckline...looking forward to seeing the next stages! :)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05506540731006921244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370970170301288861.post-46702575784174480812010-10-06T16:59:12.220-07:002010-10-06T16:59:12.220-07:00Oh, I can't wait to see them when they're ...Oh, I can't wait to see them when they're done.

You mean the straps on the overalls. I've seen them attached but I might want to try something different :)<br /><br />Yardage would be my only obstacle in just making the back and strap one large piece.

I would think they'd have been cut separately and sewed on, to make the cutting layout more flexible and possibly save yardage.Little Black Carhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313164876855565140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370970170301288861.post-23930361120532329822010-10-06T08:52:16.404-07:002010-10-06T08:52:16.404-07:00Hmm, I don't know what's best to do about ...Hmm, I don't know what's best to do about attaching those overall straps.
