It's no secret that I am not a #fancy girl - which is ironic that I have #fancy in my business name.....and a reputation for "painting" #fancy! But when it comes to ME....and my STYLE......I am a comfort creature through and through! And what is more comfortable than a pair of overalls??? How about a pair of painted overalls.

Always an occasion to wear overalls!
I've worn overalls as far back as I can remember! I even found this photo from 22 years ago.....yep.....in overalls!
I wear them to family reunions.
At the farm (ok....not my farm...but A FARM....because when is there a better time)
As a bathing suit cover-up.
When holding grandbabies
And at home when receiving my Stitch Fix...with much #fancier clothes inside the box.
Anyway....point made right?
So there is a new (really it's not new....I used to paint denim ALOT back in the day) trend.....painting denim!
Denim overalls, denim jackets, and basic jeans!
So when a paint trend hits...I'm all over it!
Have you tried it???
Let's see if I can inspire you with these that I've painted for clients recently???
Mermaid Painted Overalls
I used the following products for my mermaid overalls: Plum Crazy, The Gulf, Mermaid Tail, Gold Digger
More Inspiration: Painted Denim
I have been painting on denim for years! ALL the denim...and canvas...I can get my hands on. Here are more of my unique styles for your inspiration:
Painted Denim Jackets - the designs are endless
Guardian Angel Jacket - a special jacket with a special story
Floral Pants Blue Jeans - wear them and wash them and wear them again!
Canvas Shoes - Yes! Shoes too.
Canvas CHEER Shoes - completing the outfit from head to toe
Canvas makeup bags - quick and easy personalized gift ideas
Sunflower Painted Overalls
I used the following products for my sunflower overalls: golden years, daisy, limeade, evergreen, palmetto, plum crazy, the gulf, chocolate, terracotta
And I have so many more orders to complete.
I've received orders for everything from tennis ball overalls to flying pig overalls!! LOL!
I even have a client mailing me her old denim jacket to paint with my harlequin pattern!
I encourage you to try this yourself....using Dixie Belle Paint!!!
Trust me when I tell you it does NOT wash out! I've got loads and loads of work clothes covered in paint to prove my point! But really....it cures fully in 30 days. You do not need to seal it. If you really feel you must....you can use the Dixie Belle Clear Spray Wax and just brush it into your design. I suggest not washing until 30 days....and then wash in cool water and hang dry just to preserve the art!
I do take custom orders for these - email me at info@traceysfancy.com! Or try it yourself....I have a class dedicated to painting denim!
