IAM (not) Colibri
17:00
I enjoy wearing my dungas intensely, from the colour, to the softness to the general ridiculousness and comfort of them; and when someone bumps into me I say ‘that’s alright, I’m wearing my camouflage trousers, after all!’
People don’t bump into me much. I’m quite bright.
Finally I changed the facing so that the full bib was covered in nice spotty fabric, so everything is nice and covered when the bib is down- I even made match bias binding as covered the leg seams so it looks nice then the legs are rolled up. I’m also working on a dress version. Other than that, I followed the pattern exactly.
Iam colibri is a simple pattern, with no fiddly adding bibs and fake flies (flies! Do the not just add insult to injury for ladies dungarees) so it doesn’t take long to sew up, but making all the patch pockets and the topstitch take me approximately forever, so for this reason I strongly recommend sewing a muslin for this pattern, unless perhaps you are a skinny french waif with a taste for danger.
