True Bias Riley Overalls

The Riley pattern is a classic overall design with a relaxed fit and two lengths. View A is a short length with an approximate 6-inch inseam (4-inch rolled). View B is full-length with a straight fit through the leg and an approximate 28-inch inseam (26-inch rolled). All views have a front bib with patch pockets, rear patch pockets, belt loops, and a faux fly.

The recommended fabrics for this pattern are medium to heavy bottom-weight fabrics with little to no stretch such as denim, corduroy, twill, and linen for the main body (Keep the strength of your sewing machine in mind when choosing the weight of your fabric as there are many steps with multiple layers to sew through), and 1/2 yd of lightweight woven fabrics such as quilting cotton, cotton lawn, cotton voile, linen, and rayon bemberg for the pocket lining.

Notions you’ll need are:

– coordinating thread
– 1/3 yd of medium-weight fusible interfacing
– 2 x 1.5″ (38mm) overall clasps
– 2 x 1.5″ (38mm) overall sliders
– 6 x 11/16″ (17mm) jean tack buttons
– denim sewing machine needle
Optional: topstitching thread

This paper pattern comes in two size ranges: 0-18 and 14-32.
