Overalls All the Way!

You might want to look into fold over elastic for binding knits. I tend to use it more like a bias tape and just overlap the ends where it begins/ends. I used it for the hems/cuffs of a bunch of hoodies and it's the cleanest finish I've done to date.

All of them are awesome, but that first one also looks TRES CHIC! 😁

Loved them 🤩👏🏻

What wire thing? I think I need to go back and watch a previous video…

Now I need to make a wardrobe of overalls.

**😊 Take note, I figured out your sagging issues, watching you lay out your fabric, the reason why you get sag in the fabric is because you’re laying out the pattern on the cross grain and not along the selvage. So you’re getting the stretch top to bottom and not side to side. You can kind of get away with it with the woven fabric but not knit, hence sag… yup you’re going to need more fabric running along the selvage but there will be no sagging in your finished project 😊

Today I learned I would come up to your shoulder lol. Shout out to all the shorties!

If you add clear elastics to your binding of the neckline and armholes it will stabilize them so they don’t stretch out!

You look great in everything you make!

LOTHLORIEN!!!!! That song absolutely rocks! Great work as always!!!!

I can’t find anything with the “wire” reference. Please provide a link. Pretty please

Not "Clown Clothing", PARTY COLORED , It was all the rage in fashion for the 14th century.

Agreed Charlie! Coffee makes chocolate taste more intensely chocolate. Thanks for the video.

Your outfits in this video remind me of 1930s beach pajamas.

Here’s the binding trick that I use. 80% if a usual cotton fabric. 70% if it’s a rayon type of fabric. 90% if it’s a fabric with little stretch like a ponte roma. Good luck.

The Mettler quilting thread is the only thread my super expensive machine will free motion quilt with. They make a nice thread. And thanks for the fun. Again. Always.

For reasons, I'm appreciating the ending caption that Newton installed a kitty door in 1665

I'm surprising myself with this statement, but I love the stripey ones best!
Also, the snake fabric is just perfectly fun!

These are adorable but I would’ve called them rompers rather than overalls.

I made some "jammeralls" like that and had some baggy ness under the arms, what i did was gathered about 4 inches and tucked into binding! 😀

Love all of them, but the striped one is my favorite.

I love them. I haven't made clothing before and really really want to make them.

as soon as i saw the snake material, immediately thought "xmas snake overalls!"
maybe matching scrunchies?

Matt is a good man right there lol, I think mine would do that too 🤣🤣

Do you have a recommended video on shoulders or under arm sizing that you think has good instructions? I am TERRIBLE at and find arm holes really tricky.

Please do a puff sleeve video !

Tip on binding with knit. Multiply the length of what you want to bind by 0.8 or 0.9. Works like a charm.

the pile of fabric everywhere just reminded me of how I put away some bags the other day and just found... a bag with ... fabric I forgot I bought...

oops.

Can't wait to see the eventual version 3 that you'll probably make of these 😂

Soooo, anyone ever tried hand sewing with the stretchy thread?

Oh ma gerd those snake overalls are LIFE! Love them all, but the snakes are the best, Well done,

I absolutely love those overalls. Thanks for the video

The stripe fabric made me wonder if you could somehow adapt the stripe pleat dress idea into overalls? That could be cute!

How rude that life keeps getting in the way of.... life. LOL Love them all, but the solid colour one is stunning. If it wasn't for the big pockets you could wear it out as an informal formal dress. No-one would know it was pants until you walked.

Can u see it from the front?

Floor length = skirts and dresses
Ankle length = pants

That's funny you had to clean your machine while watching this because I just had to clean my serger this morning

Ripley's believe it or knit

Seraflex and miraflex do have about 65% stretch to them. Both bobbin and top thread need to be this tread and the tension only need to be as tight as necessary for both sewing and bobbin winding. It doesn't feel stretchy perhaps when pulled, but it really does make a difference. I refused to sew knits because I hated the bunching until I got some seraflex. I really feel it makes a difference. Especially with lingerie.

Thank you for mentioning the crotch curve! I was just about to make my first pair of shorts for a cosplay without a pattern last weekend. I went and grabbed some wire, bent it around me, and then trace it. Worked like magic! I had no fit issues down there in my mock up.

You sing beautifully

I love these! I'm short/petite and while I like the ease of a romper, they don't sit very proportional on me. I must now set all other projects aside to make these! 😂

All three so cute! And the solid one was my favorite as well!

I made a really similar thing for a cosplay that I based of a kigurumi, and I absolutely love it and want to make one to actually wear. Perhaps with a pattern that is a little less "just keep cutting the neck until I can get it over my hips"

Fun video, Charlie, thanks.

Thank you for sharing so much (joyful :-D) fotage of the final products. It's greatly appreciated 👍
And thank you for not letting perfection stand in way of your wonderful creations 💪
And thank you for making me want to approach my never ever touched sewing machine 🌻🌻🌻
I'll be back 😉

Omg! The puppy cameo with the thrive products at the end was sooo awesome ...liking lips...lol!!!
