Who has made, or is making dungarees, which pattern did you use?

I had been half looking for a dungaree pattern, yesterday on Instagram I saw a pair made up using the Sew House 7 Burnside Bibs pattern...I was sold and the pattern is on it's way!  Sewhouse7 Burnsidebib

I was wondering what other patterns anyone else has made up and how they have turned out?  also if anyone else has made the sew-house ones?

I made these Burda ones

They came up big (but then Burda patterns often do on me) but apart from that they are great.

I've been making my own jeans for years. Tried a couple different patterns, but my body was so off from the norm, that tweaking a purchased pattern just led to confusion and failure. I finally did some googling and found instructions to draft a pattern from scratch and was successful. Now I have to start over with a smaller pattern. My old one is too big and I have tweaked it as far as I can.

I had seen the Burda one, have you made 1 pair or a few?  I have a feeling that they could become a bit addictive!  I want to make a culotte legged pair as well.  I expect that I might also end up making my own pair as well because I have a lovely wide leg pattern that would look good as a dungaree.

Ha ha, yes, I'll have to keep up with my squats and enjoy it while I can I think, it's my tummy that causes me problems, it never did spring back after child 3 or 4!

@warpbywarpweft  only one pair so far. I was going to make a skirt version but I didn't have enough denim in my stash and then I saw one second hand so bought that instead.
