A couple of years ago I received a Burnside Bibs pattern at a sewing party and I've been wanting to dig into it since then. I finally had the time, fabric, and hankering to get it done and I absolutely love it! So comfortable without being sloppy looking.
The pattern is from Sew House 7 and comes with a really nice instruction booklet.
I traced the pattern out (don't cut your patterns out please!) in my size and got to work cutting.
I chose to do view #1 which has darts in the back. Since that tightens the waist it requires a side zipper. I love installing invisible zippers and this one went perfectly.
The fabric is 100% linen in the Nine Iron color, midweight (5.3 oz).
Now you see it....
Now you don't!
Instead of pins I glue basted things like the pockets and belt loops in place. I find it holds everything in the right position until I get it sewn into place (then washes out with the first washing!)
I'm so proud of my invisible zipper!
You can tie it in the back as well. I like it in the front for now.
So comfy!
Darts in back (barely visible).
I think this is a really smart pattern! It has great illustrations and lots of helpful hints along the way. I saw a cute hack on instagram where she turned it into shorts so I'm thinking that might be my next version since it will be perfect for Arizona. Two big thumbs up for the Burnside Bibs Pattern!
