In the wardrobe / Dungarees - guidance welcome
« on: January 29, 2022, 13:25:57 PM »
Hello everyone.
I'd like to make a couple of sets of dungarees, mostly for garden work. This Heydey pattern is quite well reviewed, and also doesn't require hardware on the straps, so I'm leaning towards that.
For the first attempt, I've ordered some dark grey denim.
I'm very taken with this beetle fabric from Dalston Mill, but having ordered a sample I'm feeling unsure about whether it's suitable or whether something less stiff/with a bit of stretch is going to be more comfortable. Advice gratefully received, or I will probably be in a better position to make a decision on it once I've had a go with the other fabric.
The only trousers I've made before are pyjamas so it should be a good learning experience regardless of the outcome.
