I love sewing with wovens and this pattern is a great way to showcase the way different weaves drape. I also like that there’s a sleeveless option as I always prefer to start with a sleeveless base layer and then add on top of it
Adelle Pears –
I have never made a jumpsuit before always believing I wouldn’t suit them, this jumpsuit feels amazing! I was hoping I would like it but not prepared for just how much I love it. I’m going to be making more for sure. As always the instructions are amazing and there are so many options!
Jenna Page –
I love all the options for this jumpsuit! Different leg lengths, arm lengths, hem finishes, zip and button closure options, you’ll find a jumpsuit for any occasion!!
I made the 3/4 length with short sleeves and used the elasticated sleeve option. Safe to say I’ll be making a lot more of these and will be exploring all the different finishes!
As always great step by step instructions fully illustrated. And a great video link for help with the invisible zipper.
And the fact you can make it in woven or knit it is the ultimate versitile pattern! I can’t wait to make a jumpsuit for all occasions and all seasons! Thanks for another fab pattern Rebecca Page!
