Notes	Made in cotton drill with contrasting pocket in floral cotton. Buttons are jeans buttons. This pattern does not come with instructions but I worked out an order of assembly which worked out well. Pants: Pocket facing to front Pocket sack to pocket facing Front to back inner leg seams Crotch seams Bib: Pocket - attach elastic to pocket top Attache pocket to middle front Side fronts to middle front Tucks in front pant Bib to waist band Waist band to pants Facing on front and back bib Attach waist facing Fix elastic tube to back bib Thread through elastic Back bib to back pants Attach straps Back facing (tighten the elastic) Fix the side facings Side seams Sew button holes in side facing and attach buttons Hem legs Note: Use flat fell seam on side. Top stitch in contrasting thread. 6 brass buttons. 2 clasp sets, And this is how we put together the overalls. Nice and room if you want to work but maybe not so glamorous.

And as a final note I topstitched the bib facings to the bib to stop them from flipping out. Much happier now.

I've been daring myself to make these for a while, maybe some painting overalls. You've emboldened me, they're fabulous.
