Kwik-Sew 3897

[Snowgoose]

Has anyone tried making these before?  https://www.sewessential.co.uk/misses-overalls-kwik-sew-sewing-pattern-3897

I live in jeans and sweatshirts/tees or jumpers, and thought these might be a nice make  especially if I could find some purple denim 

Do you think they are beginner friendly?  Pattern Review has favourable reviews, but I am a nervous novice

I've been living in sweatshirts and pants (jeans), too, ever since I retired. I think that's why trying to rejuvenate my enthusiasm to sew has been quite trying.

I don't think that would be difficult to sew. Only thing that occurs to me is that it's pants and a top together so you'd need to check the crotch length before finalising the top.

I was looking at this pattern to wear with leggings or tights but I am big busted and not sure if it would suit. You might like it, too.

Do shop bought jeans and trousers fit you fairly well? If so, these overalls should be fine. If not then I would start by making a basic trouser pattern, then when you have worked out the alterations needed, move onto overalls. They don't look very close fitting so they shouldn't be too hard.

Shouldn't be too difficult, especially if they are as loose fitting as they look.

I used this for a top, not quite purple, but fabulous. https://www.fabricland.co.uk/product/denim-fabric-shot-cerise-indigo/
It is a bit stiff, but hopefully more washing will help!

Thank you everyone for your help  Some gorgeous fabrics to look at, such lovely colours

Sewbee, I hadn't thought of a dress but that is a lovely pattern - and worn with leggings, I could ride my bike without frightening the horses
