How to Make Overalls for Your Toddler from an Old Sweater

How to Make Toddler Overalls from an Old Sweater
Baby Gap is selling these toddler overalls this year.

Which made me think, “I could make those.”

Guess what? It’s not even that hard.

I just traced a pair of overalls Abby already had onto a sweater.

I cut out the front and the back and got two pieces that looked like this.

I sewed the sides and the inseam shut (I was going to do buttons for easier diaper changes, but then I got lazy)

I cut out straps and pockets out of the sleeves and sewed them into place, then I added buttons to the front and finished all of the exposed edges with zigzag stitches.

(If you want to do a size larger than 18 months you will probably need to use a sweater dress instead of a normal sweater for the extra length.)

I love the way they turned out!
Plus they were free. Beat that, Baby Gap.
