Jenny Overalls & Trousers Sewing Pattern by Closet Core
Say hello to Jenny, the pattern that takes classic overalls and wide-leg trousers to the next level with sleek, functional details and an ultra-high rise for a flattering, all-day-comfort fit. Inspired by vintage workwear, Jenny offers a fresh, modern take on dungarees, making them as stylish as they are practical. Whether you want a full-on, sophisticated bib and utility pocket look, or prefer to skip the bib for wide-legged cropped pants, full-length trousers, or shorts, Jenny gives you endless options to customise your perfect fit.
The design is packed with optional details that let you make it your own: choose from curved slash front pockets, a faux fly front, and rounded back patch pockets for extra style, or keep it sleek with a single or double zipper waistband for a modern touch. Want to add a personal flair? Go bold with high contrast topstitching or keep it minimalist with a clean, elegant finish. With Jenny, you'll create the ultimate pair of trousers or overalls that will become a wardrobe favorite for every season.
