How to sew Aldo overalls?

Introducing Aldo, the dungarees that combine perfect pants with a wide-strap top. High-waisted, the pants section is flattering with a cutout in the middle of the leg. You'll have 2 Italian pockets on the front and 2 patch pockets on the back to carry your whole life. And don't worry about the straps: they're adjustable in the back for maximum comfort.

We chose a wool-touch polyester for winter, with a big check like we love them. This one comes from Moline. But you can also go for a denim fabric with contrasting stitching for a blue-workwear look, or a nice chintzy fabric for a jumpsuit to wear on special occasions. However, we'd advise you to pay close attention to the thickness of your fabric, especially around the straps, and if it's too thick, consider lining the inside of the cups and straps with lining. As for topstitching, it's up to you - it's completely optional!

 
To make Aldo, you'll need :
-2.8m fabric in 1.40m width or 3m70m in 1.10m width,
-1 18cm trouser zip,
hand-sewn snap,
-2 sets of rectangular adjustable buckles.
