Heyhey,

here are the next and final steps for the dungarees, if you didn’t read the first parts yet, you can find them here: part1, part2, part3, part4.

Next I measured fromt the waistband around my back over the shoulders to the flap and cut 2 strips with that length plus 5cm for ease and buttonholes. They are about 7cm wide

then I folded them in half, pinned and sewed

and ironed the seam allowances apart and in the middle of the strip, not I marked the triangle I wanted my straps to end in

and sewed, then cut the seam allowance close to the seam

now I undid a few cm in the middle of the strap

and turned the straps right side out through that hole, marked the beginning of the buttonholes, sewed them, then closed that hole, and sewed buttons to the back of the waistband and to the flap

I sewed a button hole in my waistband ending, and marked the placement for the buttons:

now I only needed to do the hem: I serged the open edges

then marked the hem allowance

and folded it up on that line

now I measured from the needle to the side, my hem allowance minus 0.5cm

and marked that with a tesa strip,

so I sewed all around with a parallel line to the fold

finished dungarees!

I hope this was helpful for you! Let me know if there are any questions left about this!

keep sewing and smiling

your TailorFairy
