Burnside Bibs Overalls Pattern

The Burnside Bibs are versatile overalls that can be dressed up or down. Shoulder straps transition to narrow ties with several options for tying.

Skill Level: Intermediate

Sizes: Women's 00-20 (standard sizes) or 18-34 (curvy).

Pattern Features:

The Burnside Bibs have two front bib options - a scooped neck or the traditional straight front. Both bibs work with either version #1 or version #2.

Version #1: a more fitted back pant with back waist darts and an invisible side zipper opening, however, the ties still form a small amount of gathers at the back waist.

Version #2: a looser back pant that slips on over your hips and does not have a closure to sew. This version is fuller and more gathered in the back. Use your hip measurement to determine your size for version #2.

Both versions: feature a front waistband, curved front patch pockets, optional back pockets, and cross-back straps that transition to narrower ties that thread through back waist belt loops forming back waist gathers. They may be tied in many ways - at the back, front or sides. The legs are somewhat wide and can be made full length or cropped.

Recommended Fabrics:

For a dressed up version, choose light to mid-weight woven fabrics such as Tencel, linen, wool gabardine, or sandwashed silk.

For a casual version, choose denim, canvas, or cotton twill.
