When I signed up for the Sewing for Kids class I was giving a syllabus with a list or projects and I had no idea what an overmost looked like so I googled it. In my search result I found Deborah's pattern. She explains that they really don't cover all, they only cover most...so true!
At first I thought these might be a lot of work but they really weren't. They were very simple and easy to make, everything was straightforward. I actually enjoyed making these because they are so darn cute! The pattern is written so that they can be reversible but I decided to not make them that way since the other fabric I selected is white. I couldn't resist the bunting pattern fabric, I just had to use it so I bought it to use for the lining.
Originally I had envisioned making these out of baby blue fabric and using the bunting fabric. I was a little afraid it might look too girly so I contacted the lovely people at Hawthorne Threads and they said they didn't think my selection was girly but that I might want to consider a darker fabric since I was making them for a toddler.
The color I thought of using for the outer fabric:
 |
| Front View |
 |
| Outside Front Pocket |
 |
| Front View and Pocket |
 |
| Back View with Pocket |
 |
| Buckle Strap |
 |
| Elastic Back |
 |
| Inside Lining |
The color I thought of using for the outer fabric:
With this as the lining:
And this is what I ended up using for the outer fabric instead:
Instead of buttons I used the Dritz Overall Buckle For 1.25 Inch Strap (2 Per Package) - Antique Brass
. I opted for traditional adjustable overall buckles for two reason, one, my little guy is growing like a weed and, two, I really haven't practiced making button holes. I guess I just need to sit down one day and practice so I'm ready to add buttons to the dress I'll be making soon.I really like the way these came out in the end, they look super professional! I can't wait to make some more for Nik.
