Sew a cute pair of kids’ woven overalls in this full day sewing workshop with experienced sewing tutor Lauren Holloway

Suitable for babies and children from 0 months-10 years, this pattern is the perfect workshop for beginner sewists who have basic machine sewing skills, no dressmaking experience necessary. If you’d love to learn some beginner dressmaking techniques in a supportive, relaxed and fun environment and take home a beautiful pair of finished overalls for your own child (or someone else’s) then this is the workshop for you!

The overalls feature the classic silhouette and can be adapted to create short or long leg with optional added cuff at the hem. They also feature a front patch pocket and adjustable straps, meaning that they can continue to be worn as the child grows.
