Hello there! I am very excited to share with you today about making the Burnside Bibs by Sew House Seven. This pattern has been on my wish list to sew for a long time.

I wore a pair of commercial overalls regularly as a teenager in the 90’s. I still have them and thought I’d share a photo for nostalgia’s sake.

When I saw this lovely pattern, I had in mind to make an updated pair of bibs for myself. I had linen in mind for this project and was blown away with this amazing linen from Minerva.

I’m not typically an over dramatic person, but when I received this fabric in the mail and saw it in person, I literally said out loud, “Wow!” It’s a lighter-medium weight linen, which is perfect for multi-season wear. The drape is lovely, the color is stunning and the texture of the white threads woven throughout the weft is my FAVORITE detail.

I have to share that there is a sew-along link for this pattern on Sew House Seven’s blog!! (https://sewhouse7.com/blogs/news/burnside-bibs-sew-along) I love it when designers include extra details for their patterns via SAL’s:

There are multiple options included in this pattern that I thought I’d mention:

 Scooped or straight front?
 Cropped or full length pants?
 Omit or include back pockets?
 Version #1 features a slightly fitted back pant with back waist darts and an invisible side zipper opening.
 Version #2 features a looser back, which omits the need for a closure.

Both versions feature ties that can loop around the front and gather the back waist. Both versions also feature a front waistband, curved front patch pockets, and cross-back strap. The legs are a stovepipe width.
