Jesse Jumpsuit PDF Pattern

Vraiment un beau modèle!

Les instructions sont claires. La fermeture en avant est très originale. À refaire certainement!

My new power outfit

The instructions of how to choose the size and how much to take length from the pattern pieces were very clear and easy to apply. In my case, my fitting toile seemed ok, but after I had assembled most of the jumpsuit in the fashion fabric, it was inevitable that I needed to make adjustments with the lower part of the jumpsuit. The weight of my fashion fabric was in the upper end of the suggested spectrum, which caused a sense of excess fabric bunching around the zip fly area, especially when sitting. Instead of ripping every seam and topstitching below the waist (including the waistband and zip fly) and cutting the facings, I decided to to see if I could reduce the length of lower front by opening the crotch seam and take some length in from the crotch. I managed to lift the crotch seam by approx 3 cm, which turned out well. Other than this mishap with my weightier fabric, the design and the instructions were very good. This was my first time making this kind of facing, and it turned out very nice with the help of the instructions and illustration. I chose not to do the chest welt pocket as I feared it would not look great (I don’t have good experiences of welt pockets in RTW garments because they seem to be all over the place after washing.) I could’ve used a bit more handholding for making the zip fly look good on the inside too. I used the bias binding for the zip, but it didn’t turn out neat. I feel this garment will be my “power outfit”. It looks and feels good to wear, and I’m glad I managed to sew the topstitching and other visible details with attention. Im sure I’ll sew this jumpsuit pattern again in the future, with a lighter fabric.

Very comfortable and versatile

Loved this - easy to make (well the welt pocket was fiddly, but a skill worth acquiring) - fit well with great instructions how to fit it to an individual shape and size
