SEW-ALONG SIMPLICITY 8615 OVERALLS

YO WHATS UP!
Here is a sew-along for Simplicity 8615 featuring overalls. This is a reissued vintage pattern that we had the chance to modify and give it a modern feel with a slim leg. I hope you enjoy this sew-along and be sure to tag me on social media (@norrisdantaford) when you post your overalls.

[@j.williams4507]

GREAT JOB Norris. You and MimiG are the best. Videos and directions are clear also easy to understand. You guys are lifesaver. THANK YOU. I HOPE GOD BLESSED YOU BOTH.

[@quiksilver8486]

Wish you had modeled it for us, great work!

[@ajusino8118]

Wooo hooo, just finished these overalls for my son. Thanks for making this video. It helped! A LOT and saved me from hours of utter frustration.

[@duckymr1]

This was so great!! You're really good at this too. Though I do wish you had shown the finished version a bit longer so we could get excited with you. I saw the pictures of you in it but they feel very fast so, blink and you miss it, kind of fast, and without any up close looks. Thank you for doing this! I subscribed and liked !

[@jazzeyt123]

Wow you really out did yourself with this one, Love the pattern, but your top stictching was really on point made everything look so professional ! Definitely buying this one !

[@NorrisDantaFord]

thank you for watching this tutorial. can't wait to see what you create

[@ronnyinwaxhaw]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm going to make a clown costume with this version of the pattern. I was delighted to find your video!

[@dolliedavis9756]

She taught you well. So easy to follow. Thanks to both of you!❤️

[@TheCynedd]

Norris - I loved the video. I do not (yet, but I think I might soon :) own the pattern you used. Your sew-along tutorial was very well done but if (maybe when) I make this I make this I would do a few changes. I am fortunate enough to own a Brother CV3550 cover stitch machine which will do a cover stitch on both the bottom and top so when directions call for "top stitching" I use the cover stitch machine in addition to my sewing machine and my over-lockers. If I do not use my cover-stitch machine I will, often, use a twin needle when a pattern calls for top stitching. I look forward to watching each and every video you make.

[@NorrisDantaFord]

thank you for the support and I'm looking forward to seeing what you make!

[@Tonywoodsonline]

This is a good one... I am definitely going to make a pair.

[@NorrisDantaFord]

Tony Woods thanks for watching and can’t wait to see you post your look. Remember to tag me.

[@deloserickson]

Gonna do my first sewing project with this! Awesome job!!

[@sharmilys2210]

Thx, yo!. Huh! I have an assignment for this, after I'd been searching for a long time I found this useful one.

[@deborahpatrick476]

Thanks so much for this sew along. I really needed some guidance and this was just what I needed.

[@meizerone2690]

Dude, this video is awesome! keep up!!

[@znycelondon5313]

Nice presentation. Thank you. Couple of questions. Is it also possible to use a double needle instead of doing two separate rows of stitching. Are these men’s only style or can they be made for females. What size did you cut and lastly.... How did you get a clean cut on your pattern pieces. Appreciate the response. Thank you! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@arnomunro8981]

loved it, thanks

[@TheSimmoChannel]

I made the jumpsuit of this pattern using your tutorial 👍. One question, was the top of the front bib pocket meant to be closed off?

[@siniestra9324]

omg! i love you! thanks

[@janicec1623]

Great video

[@matthewhervey1471]

Really frustrating that the tutorial didn’t show all the steps to finish the overalls

[@lillianoconnell6269]

Really Nice Work..

[@uhookd]

How long this job will take normally if all the pieces are cut out.

[@OddAndAbout]

Are the straps really 1 3/4"? when I measure the pattern and remove the 5/8" seam allowance they come out to 2". I'm making trying to buy an overall buckle but ak worried 1 3/4" will be too small...

[@brecrowned1062]

The pattern call for 1 3/4" wide overall buckle. This had been very hard to find. Any suggestions? PLEASE HELP!!!!

[@AlScott-hs7qx]

Sweet.Can I make this into and overall long maxi skirt with the overall pocket for a top😊

[@NorrisDantaFord]

yep. just make the skirt and attach it to the top.

[@AlScott-hs7qx]

Cool!

[@kennedyakel6794]

Hi, Norris. Would you mind if I asked you a question? I am interested to know how to cut men's trousers.I am a beginner. Have been inspired by what you are doing.

[@izzysan4013]

This man changing shit being handsome and useful lol

[@sarathnalla7003]

Nice

[@NorrisDantaFord]

thanks for watching...

[@dahlieanamoktar7120]

Hi Norris, Where can I buy this pattern? Hope to hear your reply TIA

[@NorrisDantaFord]

Hey! You can get this pattern at Joann’s, hobby lobby, or Walmart if they have some in stock. Out side of that you would have to check with your local independent fabric stores to see if they sale commercial patterns.

[@עדישוורץ-ט6פ]

Where can you get the pattern?

[@Tonywoodsonline]

also, where can we get the pattern?

[@NorrisDantaFord]

Tony Woods you can find the pattern as almost any fabric store. Joann’s Fabrics will definitely have it.

[@Tonywoodsonline]

thank you bro!

[@Kedar7192]

[@NorrisDantaFord]

Thanks for dropping me a line here. The support is real...lol!

[@jph2329]

I have made both views in this pattern and according to the finished garment measurements they do not fit me, such a waste of time and money,

[@zackhilliard352]

Yeah… I followed this exactly and it did not work. It is way too large around the chest. Super glad I wasted three days and 60$ trying this out. Maybe would’ve been a good idea to actually show how you slim it down since that is how it is advertised on both the pattern and in the video.

[@carryefassero7264]

I learned the hard, expensive, frustrating, way that I rarely fit standard patterns. Even though it takes a lot more time, doing a muslin (a version of the pattern in a super cheap fabric) first can really help. I’ll usually skip things like the linings, buttons, and extra topstitching to save time and money. You can find where you need to make adjustments, practice them on the cheap fabric, and mark up the changes. Your end result will be more personalized.

[@OddAndAbout]

I messed up my pants tapering in.

[@brandygibson885]

I never knew hearing a man say “notions”, and knowing what it means, would be sexy!

[@jaydenmcallister1997]

He so damn fine

[@adrianmoore8380]

helpful video, but you literally didn't even finish it.....

[@hollywarbourn7777]

So confused
