Overalls

I saw these overalls on Hannah's Flickr show and felt that they were a good improvement over the pattern I used when Jojo was just a little baby. I also read online that they have room cloth-diapered babies' ample derrières. The lightweight corduroy comes from The Textile Co. in Greenfield and the pattern is Burda 9772.

I found fringing the knee patches to be time-consuming and messy, but I wanted to follow the pattern slavishly the first time through. Turning the edges under would have been an equally tedious operation, I know.
