Denim Skater Skirt Overall

So after working on a very time consuming project such as a wedding dress it's nice to pick up a project that can easily be completed in a couple days. This was my first time working with overall hardware and i can absolutely say, if the package says to put the pieces together using a hammer you better use a hammer.

So to start I took a regular circle skirt, cut at an 18" length. from there I took care of the hem which I chose a half inch rolled hem to keep any fraying to a minimum. I also elected to do the double decorative stitching that you see in many denim pieces.

From that point I cut out the rest of the pieces based on the measurements I collected. The pieces I cut were a 4" wide strip for the waist band, a 12"x 12" bib, 2 straps that were 4" wide cut at about 32" and cut down later and the a 5"x3.5" rectangle for the pocket. from there it was all piecing together!

I ended up cutting a seam down the back of the skirt and putting in a zipper, The straps are crossed in the back about 3" from the zipper. and voila! a simple denim skater skirt overall!
