Amazing job on the dungarees, 71 yrs young. I might even follow your lead. Just turned 60yrs so I now think it's time for fun so I will follow you. Yippee.
You've got to stay young on the inside AND the outside for as long as you can Ann. Without looking too much like 'Mutton dressed as lamb' of course. 😂😂😂😘
What fun you have been up to Michou! The pink corduroy with the embroidery was really pretty. I can see why you wanted to make some. You label is adorable! Yours turned out very nice. I think the 2nd pair is my favorite. TH-cam doesn't show things exactly right, I know. Especially colors. Super fun to watch you model them in your pink room.
Hi Joy yes I like pink corduroy embroidery as well. I can see it as being a bit of an eye catcher when you're out in a crowd. I thought I'd make the dungarees for to potter around in whilst in the garden and to wear when decorating. So really if they get dirty or if they get messed up I won't mind, especially at that price. I'll keep the best ones for the front garden because my neighbour across the road thinks I'm a really trendy dresser. 😂😂😂😂😘
I really like those embroidered pockets. There was once a time when I would have spent quite a few evenings doing that sort of thing. Whether I would want to do it now I don't know. 😉😘
Hi Linda if you've never made dungarees before and you've got some spare fabric that you don't mind waiting then I would recommend you at least try making one pair. You may love them or you may hate them. But knowing that they are fashionable at the moment if you did have to put them into the charity bag and certain that they would end up being sold. 👍😂😘
Mishou perhaps you could add a piece of wide black elastic on the back strap and even put black pocket. I have also been making myself dungarees and I'm 65 years young. I love them!!
Are lovely autumn colours arona just starting to turn. And the temperature currently isn't too bad which pleases the British population because we're all trying to reduce our heating in readiness for the rising gas and electricity bills that the British are going to be having to experience this winter. So anything that can keep my back warm sounds good to me. 👍😘
Wowz! These overalls look really nice on you! I’ve been holding off making a pair or more for a while now, but after seeing you video I’m buying a pattern soon! Cuuute! I know what you mean by an “old lady” wearing a pair of these,I feel the same!! 😜 but I’m going for it!!
Hey Gina you've got to make it this one pair of dungarees in your life no matter how old you are. And if the worst comes to the worst you can just wear them for cleaning your windows. 😉👍😘
Loved seeing you in your dungarees, and your home made label,your an inspiration ❤️ so young at heart too,pound fabrics have some lovely stuff at times,thank you for sharing love sandy x
Great dungarees..would your grandchildren like you to make some for them just a thought always enjoy you and your content cheers deb from Vancouver Canada 🧵🪡🇬🇧🇨🇦
You look adorable in your dungarees and I'm very impressed by your ingenuity. Thanks for the fabric source and love your label. Maybe you are not retired after all!
it is really nice to see you so enthused about what you are doing. love it. some good bargains with the fabric. sadly Brexit has done us up like a kipper with import tax on any thing coming from the UK. a bit of fabric just shy of a long FQ at a cost of 1-50 with P&P just over a fiver. until the package got here and had to pay an extra 14.00 to release it. Hubby didnt know he thought it was from a family member so paid the post office. They look good on you so keep it up Girly. Love to you both. xxx
Oh no that's a real bugger then isn't it? I do know what you mean because I was sending a package to France a couple of weeks back and it cost me £15 to send it and I was totally stunned to find them returning to me because is had the wrong identification code on it! After that I decided I wouldn't bother sending the parcel again since it had cost me £15 for nothing. I hope you're still keeping well in on the mend this might all this and that you are still managing to have lovely weather where you are. XXX
Absolutely love the dungarees, Micheline! And they look fab on you ;-) Great idea to do your own label, and it turned out perfectly! Love that top, too. Great way to use up fabric scraps, and I think I'll have to get in gear and make myself one! 🙂 xoxo ~Robin
I've always like dungarees and I know that they are very fashionable at the moment. And of course the lady cross the road things I'm really trendy so I've got to keep it up. 😂😂😂😂😘
I started wearing dungers 15 years ago when I first had my allotment. I love that it is now ok to wear them any time, anywhere. My favourite item of clothing.
If you've got the time and the spare bit of fabric it's well worth making at least one pair of dungarees and seeing what you think. They're always handy for working around the house and garden. 👍😘
Lucy & Yak dungarees are lovely. I have a pair in green needlecord. The only problem is that I’m an apple shape, so to get the fit on my torso I end up with lots of extra fabric on my thighs. Dungarees are on my Make List, but the thought is very intimidating - it hasn’t stopped me collecting patterns though, I have W&W Heydays, Yantas and Varzims!! Your Heydays are the nicest that I’ve seen, beautiful make. But I have made softshell dungarees which keep me toasty warm outside on playground duties!! I used Twig & Tale Rainhaven pattern for them, they’re very loose on the legs too, fine for their purpose but probably adding to my hesitancy.
They are lovely, they really suit you, I’m a beginner at sewing, my first fabric buy was navy and white striped canvas and it was one pound a metre from pound fabrics , I got six meter’s and I’ve been making tote bags x
I love the dungarees but ide never be able to get them off quick enough when I need the loo! We went to Amble this year on holiday. Loved the Sunday Market. Never found the fabric shop I was looking for though.
I think I remember that it was a little bit awkward sometimes trying to go to the toilet when you've got dungarees on. I do like these ones because they're quite baggy around the waist and I shouldn't have to be wiggling to get out of them. 😂 Great to hear that you went to Amble I only hope you didn't go the week after we went when it did nothing but pour with rain. I really felt sorry for anyone who was staying in Amble that week. Too late now but the fabric shop is at the farthest end of the main street from the harbour and on the left hand side as you walk that way. 😉😘
Fantastic makes! Love your dungarees and the fabrics you’ve chosen. I buy all my fabric for clothes from Pound Fabrics as they are so cheap and such great value. I bought the pattern from Waves and Wild a wee while ago but just haven’t got round to making them yet, you have inspired me to get cracking!!!
Hello Heidi, dungarees were often made in corduroy and they are still very fashionable. When I was in my younger years I made quite a few corduroy trousers and I loved them. The only downside that I had was that because my legs weren't thin, then when I walked my trouser inside legs would rub together. And because corduroy is made of ridges, it used to make a funny noise as I walked. And it often wore the Velvet part of the inner legs away. Not a major problem but I just meant that you would get a bare patch after a while if you wore them regularly. Also when you are sewing with corduroy you have to make sure that the pile goes downwards on both the front and the back otherwise it won't look good. This usually means that you need to have more fabric because you can't turn the pattern pieces the other way. I hope that helps. XXX
The dungarees look fabulous on you. And what great prices for the fabric. Do you know about the Instagram challenge ending October 26, I believe? #SewRompJumpPlay22. 85th and Wade is hosting it and it's to celebrate National Jumpsuit Day. Your dungarees would qualify for the challenge.
I certainly have. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing because you tend to get swept along with the tide. I've downloaded a free jumpsuit pattern so fingers crossed I might find the time to make one. 🤞😉😘
Are you not able to buy 1/2 metre that you could get 21/2 instead so you don't have to patch it? What happens to that label in the wash? No way could I wear something like that now, I did when I was young but not in 70s personal thing. All the ones that I liked were the ones you would find boring I'm not looking for attention the way you say you love when people look at what you're wearing. As they say "you do you".
Unfortunately they only do metres and no half metres. And to be honest I have no plans to party in them so jigsawing that first pair suited me. Plus I only had to do that in the first pair. Narrowing the legs allowed much more room for all pattern pieces. I intend to use these dungarees mainly for decorating and gardening. Although I would keep the trendier ones for when doing front garden work. The label is enamelled and heat and water resistant. I shall just have to see how they weather regular washing. 😉
@@michoumakes I see, I know that's the only time I wear mine is in the garden. I should have known you wouldn't make something that wouldn't last in the wash. I love that label it's so cute and unique. Years ago my husband made our business logo out of both our names (on paper) he managed something not as catchy as yours!!

Love you in all of them. But love the circle dungrees the best.
These came out sooo lovely well done! AMAZING PRICE ON THE FABRIC AS WELL!
I love them, and you look great in them. ❤️
Thank you Eileen 😘👍
Omg! I love your aluminum plate tag!!! Adorable!
Love them, you are so clever xxx
Great video and love your dunagrees. Here in America we call them over-alls and for kids and young adults make them with shorts. Enjoyed our visit.
You look lovely in your dungarees. The label is fab.
Oh thank you Lorraine xx
The embroidered pockets on the dungarees are awesome! Cute Labels and dungarees that you made too Michou!
I really like those embroidered pockets. There was once a time when I would have spent quite a few evenings doing that sort of thing. Whether I would want to do it now I don't know. 😉😘
Love these dungarees!! Thought I would never consider this style of pants but I may be changing my mind. They look great and I love your label!!
Hi Linda if you've never made dungarees before and you've got some spare fabric that you don't mind waiting then I would recommend you at least try making one pair.

Those dungarees will keep you young Michou! You are so innovative and that is key.🥰
The leaves look classy.
I absolutely love the dungarees! Now i want some though I have no reason to wear them! Sigh
Mishou perhaps you could add a piece of wide black elastic on the back strap and even put black pocket. I have also been making myself dungarees and I'm 65 years young. I love them!!
Now that's a good idea Wendy. 👍🏻
Enjoy your "happy fabric" dungarees! They look like you can keep your back and chest warm this winter!
Our cold weather is definitely on it's way overnight low 2 nights ago was 29°F and last last night was 36°F. Trees are changing too!

It really is Linda. x
Loved seeing you in your dungarees, and your home made label,your an inspiration ❤️ so young at heart too,pound fabrics have some lovely stuff at times,thank you for sharing love sandy x
We (and I include His Lordship in this) are determined to stay young at heart and these dungarees (for me) should help!

Love your label, it’s perfect. Such a catchy name!❤️. The dungarees are wonderful! I love your channel.
Why thank you still that's very kind of you to say you enjoy my channel. 👍😘😉
Hi Michou, your dungarees look awesome, the label turned out very nice, great design. I might try these as well. Thanks for the great vlog.
Glad you like them Doris, They seem to be all the fashion in the UK. xx
Great dungarees..would your grandchildren like you to make some for them just a thought always enjoy you and your content cheers deb from Vancouver Canada 🧵🪡🇬🇧🇨🇦
I would love to make some for them. But with teenagers I really need to wait for them to say "Grandma....will you make me...."
;-)

Like the shirt. Good job.
Thanks Corina xx
Love the new titles with details of each pattern used - very helpful, thank you!
I started wearing dungers 15 years ago when I first had my allotment. I love that it is now ok to wear them any time, anywhere. My favourite item of clothing.
the nice thing about dungarees is that people expect them to get dirty. 😂😘
Looks perfect on u well done❤
I love your LABELS!!! AND your dungarees tooo!!
I’m on it!! I want a berry colored pair in corduroy!
Oooh Berry corduroys? they sound rather appealing. 👍😘
Love the dungarees!
My goodness you are looking amazing and I love your dungarees. I too love a good bargain when it comes to fabrics. Blessings to you and your family.💞😊
thanks Teresa fabric is too expensive so I'm always up for a bargain. 👍😘
I love all three! Now I have to try that pattern!

bravo! Great Job! I have this pattern and fabric to make them, just needed this reminder. yours look great and love the label!
Hi Louise I would say it at least words making one pair. And if it's only to wear whilst washing the windows, then that's worth it. 😉😘
Michou, your dungarees are fabulous! They remind me of shorts length dungarees I made years ago in wild prints. Love the label you designed!
Oh yes, remember the short legged dungarees too.👍🏻😘
They are lovely, they really suit you, I’m a beginner at sewing, my first fabric buy was navy and white striped canvas and it was one pound a metre from pound fabrics , I got six meter’s and I’ve been making tote bags x
The canvas us great for making so many things. It's definitely a great shop when you love sewing but money is tight. Xx
I love the dungarees but ide never be able to get them off quick enough when I need the loo!

she has put links in the description box...
Thanks 722dabba.
Did you find it Ange?
Oh that's good. I still have a couple I've missed but at least you get an idea of what the patterns are. 😘👍
Since cable knit is on bias...how did it wash? Looks great just worried about stretching..
it washed well. it's a polyester viscose cable knit so it shouldn't shrink at all. I wash on a low temperature so that helps. 😘
