Merchant & Mills - THE HARLENE pattern

A traditional pair of easy fitting dungarees. A hard-working wardrobe staple featuring classic detailing and optional topstitching. These dungarees are meant to be oversized, for example, my measurements put me at a 12 – 14, but I went for the 12 and can still fit a jumper underneath.

Skill level – intermediate.

This is a printed pattern including sizes 6 – 18. All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless otherwise stated.

Suggested fabrics – medium weight woven cloth, 8 – 11 oz denim, cotton canvas, cotton drill, corduroy, yarn-dyed linen. If you are using a thick fabric you may decide to cut the waistband and button fly pieces out of a thinner fabric to reduce bulk.

Also available the HARLENE HARDWARE KIT
