• Olive Green Waffle Cotton Double Cloth - This fabric is all about subtlety. The olive green hue is muted and earthy, an ideal choice for Spring. And the cotton is woven with a waffle weave that adds amazing texture and visual interest to what seems like a solid fabric. The medium weight fabric has a healthy dose of nylon too, giving it a supple drape and soft hand, and some extra durability for your overalls. A great choice for a versatile pair of overalls
• Roasted Pecan Line-Drawn Canvas - What first caught my eye about this fabric, a medium weight linen cotton canvas, was the color. The nutty hue is right is somewhere in between an orange, a brown and a yellow, and it makes me feel warm just by looking at it. The pattern itself, a simple black line-drawn print of leaves and stems, is modern and understated. The non-directional print will shine especially well on this pair of overalls since they don't have a waist seam. If you're looking for a fun print, this is the choice for you!
• Railroad Stripe 5oz Denim - For a classic denim look, I chose this medium weight railroad stripe for just a little hint of pattern. The stripe itself runs vertically and is quite thin, 1/8" wide, so from afar, these overalls will look like solid blue denim, but up close, you'll have a gorgeous print to make them one of a kind. Play with the direction of the print on the pockets for some extra special design details. Oh the possibilities!
