I like it but I’m not sure it’s “me” now that I’ve got it on. At least I made fewer mistakes on this project than in the past! And I got to use a hammer to secure the bib closures. What’s not to love about that? 🧵🧵From the Instagram Files

  1. This isn’t going to shock you. At all. But, I love the striped Tee with your bib dress. SO MUCH. But then…I do love the fun pink beret look as much, or more! Love your sandals too!

    1. Thank you, Sue! I love stripes with overalls/bib outfits. I really really do! I just needed to find something that didn’t look like the cover of the pattern envelope! Otherwise, in a weird way, it didn’t feel like something I created…even though, I guess I did. But you know what I mean. Right? 🙂

  2. […] made the dress myself from a McCall’s pattern meant for super newbie sewists like myself. When I first posted about it, I wasn’t too keen about how it felt on my body. My head was stuck in the “bib dress […]

  3. What a fun outfit, Sherry, and I am duly impressed that you actually made that cute little bib dress. I think it suits you, even if you’re not sure it is you. xxx

  4. It looks like it turned out amazing!

    It’s darling!!! I have a similar jumper in summer weight, pale yellow, denim. It’s longer because I’m almost 68 for gawds sake!
    Wear it like you wear that cute adjustable/reversible skirt, with Converse All Stars!!!
