Overalls

When she is not going to the office - F wears overalls. 

Green overalls.

Green cotton drill overalls with the knees patched in blue material.  She cut the blue material out of the backs of the legs of some chinos that Mr B had worn out. 

I suspect F of loving her overalls more than me.  She says 'close but not true'.  

Her brother gave her some new blue overalls.  She is saving those for when the green ones wear out.

She might have to be buried in the blue overalls; she has a way of making overalls last a long time despite the constant wear.  

She even wears the green overalls when she go es to the beach across the road, because they cover all of her except head and feet (hands in pockets), which means she doesn't need sun screen sprayed on her to make the trip from door to sea (and back again).

Mr B does look askance at her overalls sometimes, but I'm cool with them; they are kind of like my pin-striped fur suit, immutable.

Now I am beginning to wonder if F is on a mission to convert humanity to overalls.  We have made three pairs this week and are starting on a 4th pair repurposing an old pair of jeans.  These ones are dungaree overalls, too big for me and way too small for F, so I am wondering what her plan is here.

Unfinished - need more topstitching thread....

Note from F: the plan is to use up stash. This time to make hardwearing play wear for small kids who get around on their knees a lot.  Now we just have to find some small kids to give them to.  Hopefully they will be converted for life.
