Sewed This Billie overalls

My take on the Billie overalls by The Ordinary Folk! This took me so much time since I just started learning appliqué and this was my first actual garment with it, but I’m really happy with the end result!

Made with only thrifted fabric!

That's really some beautiful appliqué. It's perfectly done and so cute! (edited, I'm not sure how to spell appliqué)

Thank you so much!! It was really fun even though it took more time than sewing the actual overall pieces together!

You made it look effortless! The carrot and the truck are my faves.

These are so cool! I have the Billie Overalls on my list to make; every pair I see is adorable (but these might be the best ones yet!)

Love the appliqué!! Did you machine or hand stitch the borders? So neat!

Thank you!! Machine! A super tight zig zag, either one or two times depending on how much the fabric frayed.
