This is the second part of a two part blog series. Before you begin, check out my post describing my quest to create a specific pair of overalls, you can find it here. To get the look of overalls, I used the Creative Needle Sunsuit Pattern. I altered it by moving the straps. Instead of having them attach by button in the back as seen in the pattern. I cut them off, and sewed them to the back. Then placed the button on the front of the strap and the button hole on the front of the pattern. I made sure to add a half inch of length to the…

Creations by Michie Sun Suits-A Pattern Review!
A Pattern Review: One of the first garments I wanted to make when I began sewing was a sunsuit. In the hot summer there is very little that can compete with the cuteness of a plump, rosy baby in a sunsuit. The sunsuit remains one of my favorites. I have tried and loved several patterns (and tried and not loved some others that I won’t mention here). Creations by Miche has two viable options: Number 123 and a new option (that is featured in this post) Number 149. Petite Poche (Wendy Schoen) Suzzete is adorable but crazy hard to find. I’ve also tried Children’s Corner Bailey which is fun for…
