Sewing for Littles: Lion Overalls (Kids Sizes 1 - 6)



Overalls are a kids’ wardrobe classic — and an excellent way to build garment-sewing skills. In this workshop, you’ll sew the Lion Overalls, a playful yet practical project that lets you focus on structure, construction, and details without the pressure of complex fit.

This class is all about technique. You’ll work through multi-step garment construction while making a highly customizable piece, with options for an optional pocket and either a shorts or pants version. No kids required — just a desire to level up your skills in a low-stress, satisfying way.

You’ll learn:

  • Structured garment construction from start to finish
  • Sewing straps and bib-style pieces
  • Working with mid-weight woven fabrics like denim
  • Clean finishing techniques for durable, everyday wear
  • How small details (like pockets!) elevate a garment

Skill Level: Adventurous Beginner
Pattern: Sold separately; available for purchase in the shop
Fabric Suggestions: Mid-weight woven fabrics such as denim, twill, or sturdy cotton

Kids’ garments like these overalls are a smart way to practice transferable skills — quicker makes, forgiving fit, and techniques you’ll use again and again in adult garments.

Come for the tiny overalls. Leave with big sewing confidence. ?????????
