Where to find Denim overalls 2018

The hardest part of homecoming is where to buy the overalls. So I've put together a list of brands and links for y'all to help you. I'll notate on each brand how they for so you can determine which brand is best suited for your child's body type. I've chosen these brands because they are well constructed and do not have any Lycra, holes, tears, and I've used them before without hassle. (I chose Amazon because many of you have Prime so you get free shipping)

American Bazi
These overalls are everyone's favorite. They have a skinnier leg style. The only cons, they run small so you have to order at least one size bigger. The leg length is perfect for average leg length, but will be short on long legs.

         AMERICAN BAZI

Dickies
Dickies brand is great. The sizing is pretty spot on. And some places offer a longer length. Cons, the Denim isn't stiff and can wrinkle easily. However, since the fabric is more giving, they can accommodate more curves.

                       DICKIES

Carhart
These are the most expensive, but also the best quality. Fit is true to size and are also available in longer lengths. I have nothing bad to say about these.

                 CARHARTT

Levi's
I have not used these in the past, so I don't know anything about fit. The price looks good and we all know Levi makes great Denim. I would read reviews in this product before ordering.

                     LEVI'S

I hope this helps you find the perfect pair.

2017 KISD Homecoming Schedule

Howdy Y'all

I haven't made a blog post in quite some time... I've been krafty, for sure.
Last years Homecoming season was incredibly busy, and made a crazy lady. Crazier than usual, might be a better way to word that! It took some time to adjust to living *normal*. I also found myself a new job. After 14 years at Babin's, I left to find a company that would allow me to grow. I just wasn't going anywhere in the Landry's company. I don't know, I guess I needed change. Now I'm not so sure that was a brilliant idea. I am with another wonderful company, who sees me and my worth. I'm so thankful for that!! However, the traffic there isn't the same, and I find myself stuck between a rock and a hard spot.
So, it's getting close to Homecoming season again, and I've taken several deposits for the limited amount of spots I have available this year. Also, I've joined a new website to sell my goodies on. It's called Gypsy Spoonful. It's pretty amazing, I won't lie, to see so many handmade goodies all in one place. Etsy used to be that kind of place to shop, but not anymore. So many knock offs and china stuff. Its just yucky now, so I don't sell there.
While I wait for Homecoming to finally settle in, I'll be listing a lot of the little things that make me happy. Below, I'll put some pictures up and link them to the items so you can click on the picture and buy them. Most of the stuff is sweet baby items for baby shower gifts. I don't have any babies to sew for, so I guess I'm sewing for everyone elses, lol. I love baby stuff.

That's all I got for today. I need to go finish up a couple more items and do some research. Nothing like a *romantic* Friday night at home with my sewing machine.

Cinco Ranch

Hey there Cinco moms,  I've got one spot open for this year,  2016. Contact me HERE to be the lucky one! 💛

Need Ideas??

Not quite sure what Homecoming Overalls LOOK like?? Can't decide how to decorate yours?? 

In this post, Ill show you some examples of what the 2015 girls put on their bibs. 

I used to design with the mascot on the bib, however this past season, we went a little crazy and designed outside the proverbial box. I wanted to urge the girls to get creative and put other items on the bib, such as their sport or passion. I even managed to combine sports and mascots into one design to make them even more WOW!!

Enjoy...

    

Where to purchase Overalls 2016

The hardest part of getting overalls is actually finding them. 

Only a couple of local stores actually carry these denim wonders, and even then, they are in men's sizes. (which is perfectly OK because I am a seamstress and can alter them a bit so they fit better)

When looking at buying overalls, be sure to check the materials used to make them. Most of the new fashionable, "skinny" and cute overalls are made with stretchy lycra. This is great if you just want cute overalls. However, not great when I am sewing non stretchy fabrics to the overalls. These overalls, when complete, end up being tight and uncomfortable.

Here are a few brands I find absolutely perfect for creating the most durable and comfortable overalls that will last 4 years of High School and beyond.

CARHARTT

DICKIES

AMERICAN BAZI

Locally, the Tractor Supply, in front of the Merrill Center, has men's sizes available. You need to go early to get the smaller sizes as they do not carry ladies. You can also purchase on line HERE

Other local places to try are :

BOOT BARN

ACADEMY

BASS PRO SHOP

Don't forget to try AMAZON

My last recommendation. Please do not buy overalls that are TIGHT. In order for me to make the artwork on the legs and backside, I do have to take the overalls apart and put them back together. The artwork combined with the resewing the legs back together makes them fit tighter than original fit. IF you are unsure about the fit, always caution on the larger size. Also, I will check the fit on my visit to your home so I know how much altering is needed to make them fit more perfect.

I hope this information is helpful!!!

How I work

I just want to tell y'all just a little about how I do what I do.
Homecoming overalls are an art to me. I take them seriously, and I make the very last pair with as much enthusiasm and integrity as I do the first pair of every season.
My artwork is designed by me and hand created by me. Every pair of overalls I make is unique to your child. Y'all design your custom artwork. Everything (except the bling) is sewn onto the overalls. There is NO PAINT INVOLVED. There are NO IRON ONS. This creates a very unique look, but also makes your childs overalls durable and a keepsake.  You will not have to buy a new pair every year (X 4!!!) and keep on shelling out cash. You make your purchase once and you will be prepared for the next 3 years!! One less item to be worried about come the start of the new school year.
How do I do this????
Well, I start with you and I making an appointment (HERE) and I come to your home with my picture albums so you can look at examples of other overalls I have made. I offer a lot of custom graphics each year, and my collection grows every year as kids become active in so many ways.
While I'm at your home, your child will try on her overalls so I can see how they fit. I may need to make some simple alterations, like making the legs shorter or tighter. (Remember, you supply the overalls. Your child will be happier about the color and fit!!!) I cannot make overalls BIGGER!!
I'll talk with your daughter and write down all of the artwork she wants on her overalls and where she would like it.
Before I leave, I'll go over everything with you and take a payment. I have several options for payment.
1. Pay 1/2 down and the other 1/2 when I deliver.
2. Pay in full and get 10% off your total (Best deal ever!!)
I take cash, checks (must clear before work gets started. Bounce fee is $50) and credit cards. I process credit cards through PayPal, so you can pay through paypal as well.  Lastly, if you bank with Chase, I can accept a transfer (this is great because there are no fees!!)
After payment, I go home and do my thing. I trace, I iron, I cut and I sew!!!
When I finish I'll contact you to set up a delivery time. I like the girls to be there when I deliver so if I need to fix anything, I don"t need to make another trip :0)
I'll get the final payment at this time, if need be.
Do you have any questions??
Are you ready to order??
Let's do this!! I'm excited to meet you!!
