Jenny Overalls & Trousers Pattern

I've used this pattern several times and still not exhausted the options - I'm still eyeing the overall version, which would get me overalls that aren't baggy and formless around the waist. In the meantime, the shorts and pants fit great. I made the 14 size then adjusted the waistband to be shorter (also tweaking darts and side seams to narrow the waist) before attaching the waistband. This pattern is outstanding in linen: long cool pants that can dress up for an event.

I’m fairly beginner, so I followed the pattern based on my measurements, and found that it ended up fitting much too large. This is my first pair of pants I’ve ever made, so I’m willing to admit it may have been user error, but I did have to take several inches off the waist/hip area for a well fitting pant. That being said, this is only my second sewing project since some basic sewing with my mom when I was a kid, and I found the instructions very helpful and easy to follow! I was able to learn a bunch of new skills that I’d never tried before (pockets, buttons, zippers!). Overall very happy with it, although would probably go down 2 sizes or so next time I use the pattern!

This pattern was perfect and easily adjustable. I love overalls but they're always too short in the waist-to-crotch length or super baggy. It was clear where to add length exactly where I needed and fits awesome in the waist. Very true to size (unlike many commercial patterns which often require some form of divining to figure out what size you need).

Another fabulous pattern, well drafted and easy to follow. I have already made Jenny twice, and can see me making the trousers too! Highly recommend

I was looking for a pattern for some painted overalls that would have enough coverage to get the pattern across without being overwhelming. This pattern was exactly what I needed! The only hard parts were from my own mistakes because I'm still a beginner but it was still a good fit for my skill level.

The fit is great and the pattern is fairly straightforward. For new sewists, it might be a little challenging to understand everything, however I was able to figure it out through trial and error. I had to grade the pattern to fit once I did a basted fitting. I recommend doing a mock-up with muslin first to check the fit.

So cute and the fit is great! I made the shorts version to test out the pattern and got lots of compliments. Excited to make the pants length version.

Like always, it’s a slow start for me. First I got excited, purchased pattern and than it took me weeks to print it out and try it. But once I started it was a winner. So far I made 3 variations, not the last ones. The size was super great, no alterations need and instructions are brilliant.
Congratulations for a great pattern, highly recommended

I found the pattern easy to follow and full of online resources for the areas I needed help with. As a beginner, this was very helpful. The fit of the overalls is flattering and the wide pant leg makes it unique. I also enjoyed having so many options, i.e. overalls, pants, shorts, pockets and no pockets, etc. 10/10 in my book.

I had a lot of fun making this!

I had never made overalls before this, so made the pants view first to warm up and prepare for any fit issues. I only made a minor adjustment to the crotch depth before graduating to the overalls view. I'm very pleased with how both looks turned out! Between the clear instructions and the photographs in the sew-alongs on the blog, I felt like I had all the resources I needed to complete this project.

I'm fairly confident with a sewing machine but this is the first clothing/pattern I've followed and it was great! So easy to follow and a fantastic fit - would definitely recommend.

I’ve never found a pattern that has fit me so well. The instructions and putting the pattern together was simple and easy. When I sewed up the pieces and tried it on, I popped a sparkling wine to celebrate (no kidding) because I looked fabulous and felt so confident. Planning to make many many more.

When a client wanted pointe overalls with her hand painted silk for a fashion show, Pattern Review gave this pattern a great review. I appreciated this well sized and well drafted pattern. The directions were clear and all the pattern pieces matched up - a joy to sew! I made a few changes for the client to make them more like Meryl Streep’s in Mama Mia.

I had a really nice time sewing this pattern and an even better time wearing my new overalls. I find this pattern flattering on any shape and has enough detail to make it really special. I plan on making several more, and I always enjoy the Closet Case instruction. Five stars!

Came as ordered
Haven't made the pants yet but love the pattern

I bought this pattern for my daughter, who was in dire need of some pants but couldn't find any to flatter her curvy body. I cut these out in a straight size 16 and made a hasty muslin -- the fit was pretty darn close! I used some of the 1" SA in the side seams to add a little to the waist, and the waistband had a little extra length built in so that it wasn't a matter of cutting out a whole new one. Well designed pattern, great instructions, and a gorgeous end result! I also purchased the hardware kit and it's nice high quality stuff!

I love these pants so much. I did the Trousers in a cotton chambray, with one side zip. They fit very well, and were easy to adjust to my non-standard waist-hip ratio.
My only complaint is that the illustrations for concealing the zipper were confusing, and I didn't quite understand the instructions for that step. I ended up just topstitching around the zipper and leaving it very visible, which is fine but not quite as clean as it could be.

Beaucoup de versions possibles. J'ai adapté le pantalon pour mettre une braguette devant et pas de côté. Pour moi, agrandissement des pinces et réduction des côtés tailles (5mm) pour un ajustement parfait !

I loved using this pattern! The instructions are very straightforward and it came together very nicely!
