Comfy Overalls – the Naptime Pants!
Little boys wearing overalls. Seriously, can it get any cuter?
Well, he is my kid, so I’m probably biased.
But the one problem I have with overalls is that most of them are denim with all these buckles and whatnot – which aren’t always super comfortable for baby taking a nap. [and a no-napping baby makes for a no-happy mama]
So I made a super comfy pair of jersey knit overalls for my little guy.
I added some simple embroidered stars in yellow and orange – not blue, on the off chance [fat chance?] baby number four is a girl.
The T-shirt underneath is upcycled from a shirt that I loved in college and couldn’t bear to part with. And now I don’t have to. It ended up a little big [which is what you get for sewing and not measuring during naptime!], but this way it will last through the long, LONG winter.
I’m going to tweak my overall pattern a bit, because it didn’t turn out exactly how I pictured in my head. But hey – I did my first snap-crotch! [and seriously, can someone please tell me something else I could call that?]
Here’s to stripes and overalls that make babies nap! Or something like that…
stinkin’ adorable, jess! love the shirt AND the coveralls. what a great idea! i want some in my size, please. ;)
and i can’t wait to see if baby #4 is a girl. ultrasound day, hurry on up and get here!
ha! maybe we can make some maternity overalls… :)
and i know… the time seems to be crawling by! just over a week left!
Loooove these! AND that sweet boy!! So sweet “peek-a-boo”.;)
so cute! will you share the pattern when you’re finished tweaking?
well i can certainly try! i haven’t mastered digitizing patterns, so maybe i’ll share a hand-drawn free version. :)
So sweet. I’m going to file this idea away!
So cute and comfy looking! I love these! I am trying to figure out making my son some comfy but sturdy coveralls (we live in wet cold muddy oregon)without a pattern…so you are definately a big inspiration to get those done now!

well thank you! they were definitely an easy sew – i used a pair of fleece overalls as my starting point. let me know if you make some!
super cute!! i love the snap crotch comment, hah! I don’t know what else to call it either!
Oh, the stars! So precious.
This are great! I totally agree with how uncomfortable most overalls are. All those buckles and stiff denim. And he’s definitely adorable!
No, it doesn’t get much cuter!
Adorable! They look so comfy!
Super cute. Love the embroidery!
