I LOVE that little cover all with the bird fabric and contrasting band, I also think the fit was far more flattering too! I have that pattern myself and not got around to making it yet, so TFS and have a good weekend! 👍💕

I dont get the comments saying older people shouldnt wear dungarees - I say wear what makes YOU happy!

[zainylainy]

Oh, I really like the bird jacket! I like the way it fit on you much better than the red one!

[brigittelogue]

This remind me of some pants that I had in the 60’s. Love the pattern.

[aliceniell]

I love your vlogs, always look forward to them when I receive notification that you have posted a new one!

[BlessingGaia]

Really cute dungarees! Love the fabric and your additional of a back panel.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is a 5ft 1inch little dumpling I say I'm not fat I'm just poofy. I have trouble with the length of my sleeves it's so annoying to have to keep rolling them up I have just made a shirt blouse and yay! my sleeves fit.and don't get me started on my big bust my daughter has nothing up top and complains all the time I tell how lucky she is at least she can do a side zipper up.
I love your videos you have a great sense of humour and you are not afraid of taking the micky out of yourself that shows a lady who says take me as I am.
P.S I think your right about the dungarees

I love the orange blouse! It looks great, you should just shorten the sleeves, it looks great on you! Love your Simplicity 8172- I’m on my way to town to buy it. You inspire me!!, I’m 72 and want to dress fashionably—that pattern is very flattering—I like to cover my back side and my upper arms but I get so warm in long sleeves. I’m a number one fan-you always make me smile. Thank you Dear Lady ❤️

Love your sense of humour and your makes are wonderful.

Sending love to you from Madison, Wisconsin, USA. I think I had these overalls in the 70's. Love your videos. So fun!

[shelleycassky]

I'm 65 and I just got the Jenny pattern today so I was glad to see your video. I understand your feelings toward the overalls but I think they look great on you - fabric and all. We might be of a certain age but that doesn't mean we can't wear fun clothes. Channel your inner Betsey Johnson!

[judysalmans]

I really like the Black and the birds shirt. Really better tan The red. Love your blog.

[marymary]

Oh Michiline, I’ve paused vlog and jumped in to immediately comment on your Jenny overalls. I really like them, they look fantastic on you, the cropped version is just right you and Michiline times have changed any age can wear anything nowadays. Well that’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it. I’ll watch the rest of your vlog now. ☺️

[loriannpayne]

I love the red over-shirt the best. Fun to see your makes. You’ve been busy. So weird to see you on the other side of the looking glass again! Hugs..

[vivmomsews]

You’re beautiful, michou!! I feel you on passing all attire choices through the “age prism.” Guess there’s no way around it, because nobody wants to be the object of derision! Your kimonos are sooo pretty, I like the backs with the swooping waistline. Also love the bright orange shirt. I love bargains. You could probably tell that from all my inexpensive fabric!😄

[shonaaitken]

Gosh your videos make me so happy. You seem like such a nice person and are so good at sewing. The dungarees turned out really well. I think they'd be great longer too. They always remind me of that tv show "The Good Life" :)

[rubybaker]

Hi micheline, I am your age group and think you look great in the overalls! I have liked this pattern for a while and you have inspired me to have a go, also fancy the trousers, they remind me of my misspent youth!

[mellie]

omg! i love the bird one! now i want to make one. though i don't know what i would do with it because I am so cold all the time that i only wear sweaters! even in the summer. Anyway, as to the overalls, i just need to rant. I think it is so sad that we live in a world where people are the object of derision for wearing clothing that makes them happy! why does clothing HAVE to conform to what society says is "flattering"? What if "flattering" is just a superficial idea meant to make us all look alike. I think we need a revolution and we should all just wear what we love, and if that is "unflattering" than we need to change the definition of flattering. What if flattering was something that made your heart sing, put a smile on your face and a spring in your step, not what made our butts look smaller. Ok thanks for letting me rant :) Loved everything! keep up the good work!

I’ve been wearing dungers for years. Mainly on my allotment but also elsewhere because I love them and I am in my early seventies now. Had those closures on one pair but they kept pulling undone when I was working. Changed them to sparky buttons. Much better! So pleased that dungarees are in fashion. Plan on making a few pairs, but my idea is to make them so loose I can step in and out of them.... Willow overalls and the Yari jumpsuit are on my list. I definitely think you are not too old for those that you made. Lovely.

[bellepoupee]

Those overalls I would take the bibs off and make a pair of short pants for the summer... Love those cardigans on you especially the black one with the birds, it gives you a nice definition of your waist... Overall very nice makes! Thank you for sharing, have a wonderful day! Christine :D
