Are we really out of ideas now? Summer Jumpsuit Romper Playsuit, 2nd Edition

I think my mom made me one of these.
Hello sailor boy!

These overalls are a thing, all over the interweb, you will have to go look for it, I don't want the link-backs:

Or perhaps:

This is a classic, and a first sew for a lot of folks:

from the webpage: "If you’re craving a garment that’s the ultimate for summer comfort, sew the Kari romper. This romper has a trapeze silhouette that disguises as a dress in drapey fabrics. Shoulder ties add a playful detail and make for easy fitting—and yes, it has pockets!"

One style to rule them all?

"Very loose-fitting pullover dresses & step in jumpsuit have sleeve & length variations." Does not come with pockets as a part of the pattern.

"The Amy Jumpsuit is comfort and breezy elegance all in one tidy, minimalist package. With a figure-skimming silhouette and ultra-wide, cropped legs, it's got the soul of a floaty slip dress in the body of a jumpsuit you'll never want to take off." Pockets optional, included with pattern.

I know I had one of these that my mom made as a kid in the late 60s. Searching patterns I came up with

Oh, just go search on the term 'baggy linen overalls sewing pattern' and you'll get the idea. Also so many freebies for the self-drafters!

Meanwhile, in real sewing news,  a  link to  Spitalsfield Life: church embroideries and the broderers. You know, skip all the jumpsuits and read this great profile of the ladies who keep the faith shiny.
