Service Coveralls
A classic mechanic-style one-piece garment — inspired by industrial workwear staples, rebuilt as a learning-focused sewing pattern. Simpler than the Service Dungarees, but still serious.
Seven things you'll keep
This is the only pattern in the catalogue without a film, and that is deliberate. I filmed one and wasn't happy with how I explained it, so I didn't put it out — a bad tutorial is worse than none. A proper one is coming.
Until then, this is a pattern you build by reading the sheet. It's marked skill 5 for exactly that reason: the construction is not hard for the sake of it, but you are working it out from the panels rather than following along. If that's not what you want today, the Service Dungarees cover much of the same ground with a full film.
What to make it in
Weights and sourcing are in the materials list that comes with the pattern.
What arrives
Never printed a pattern before? The print & tiling guide covers it in about twenty minutes.
Measure the 2″ test square first. It's the only thing that goes wrong, and the only thing you can't undo. Print at 100%, from a laptop rather than a phone.
Buy a little more fabric than you need, and run the tricky part once in something cheap before you touch the good stuff.
Never made a pattern before? Start with the free ones — they're the same system, no risk.
