Sew House Seven The Burnside Bibs Paper Sewing Pattern
The Burnside Bibs sewing pattern offers a stylish and feminine take on the classic work overalls. With versatile design features, these bibs can be customized with a scooped or straight neckline, and two pant styles: a fitted back with a side zipper or a loose, elasticized back for easy pull-on wear. The cross-back straps transition into narrow ties, allowing for a variety of styling options. Choose fabrics like Tencel for a more polished look or denim for a casual feel. The pattern also includes optional back pockets and front patch pockets, and the wide legs can be made full-length or cropped, making them a wardrobe staple.
Burnside's Features:
• Two front bib options: scooped neck or traditional straight front
• Two pant styles: version 1 (fitted back with waist darts and invisible side zipper) and version 2 (loose back, no closure)
• Versatile cross-back straps transitioning to narrower ties
• Multiple tie options: back, front, or sides for customized styling
