I’ve made this jumpsuit pattern several times and absolutely love it. I usually avoid sewing with knits but this pattern is great for jersey fabrics. It’s super fun to make, comfy and flattering. One of my faves!
My favourite make this summer. I made the wide legged version in an organic cotton jersey (size 20) and it's been a pleasure wearing it. It's so easy to wear, confortable and stylish. I love it. I will probably make the dress next
I sewed up the full pants romper with the tie straps and it’s absolute love! This is my first pattern from this company, but it won’t be my last. The only adjustment I needed was a full seat adjustment, which is something I frequently have to do. It sewed up with clear instructions and fits beautifully.
I followed the romper hack blog post to make a romper with the V-neck tee. The blog instructions for drafting the shorts were very easy to follow and turned out great.
Based on my measurements I cut a size 10 for the bodice, however after a mockup I wound up cutting a 14. The 10 was too small in all dimensions even considering the negative ease on the pattern. Speaking of negative ease, the fit on the model really does not look as tight as the garment measurements indicate this was drafted for. After recutting the 14 fit great except the armscye is TINY! I'm planning on making this again but I am going to follow another pattern with grown-on sleeves to adjust the fit there.
The instructions were good for a beginner except I did need to reference the closet core blog post on slashed pockets to understand where to do the understitching. The final instruction of "hem pants" was also underwhelming but since it was a knit I just turned it up once and top stitched.
Looks very easy. In process of making a toile at moment. Very pleased so far.
Easy pattern. Instructions were good but I decided I didn't want a lined top as it can be too hot. So I made facings. Sizing was a bit off. According to the measurements I should have made a bigger size but measuring the pattern pieces themselves, I decided to size down which turned out perfect.
Loved this pattern. I made view A in a cotton knit and have worn it several times. It's so comfortable and it looks good, too!
I made the strappy tank top culottes version for my daughter to take on vacation. I made her a size 14 straight out of the package. It fit her perfect! The instructions were easy to follow. This pattern is a definite make again.
Excellent pattern really good price and service instructions are great and the fit is good
I made the Sallie Jumpsuit in a red jersey for Christmas Day, no one could believe i made it myself! I shortened the legs a lot before hemming (I'm 5'2") and graded between sizes from the hip of the pants to the waist of the bodice - both alterations worked out great. If you have a long torso or make a smaller size bodice like i did you might want to make a muslin and check the bodice length/waist placement as i had just enough material for the seam allowance at the waist even though I'm high-waisted.
I had never made a lined bodice by this method and it was a little tricky as the right and wrong side of my fabric were very similar so i made a muslin first, marked the pieces, followed the instructions to the letter and I'm very happy with the results. Definitely go for the elastic on the neckline and be as precise as possible when making it up.
I'm planning to make another Sallie in a lighter jersey for summer, maybe Breton stripe bodice and solid pants!
I sewed this in Satin to wear to an autumn wedding. It was really easy to sew, I loved that there were no zips or buttons involved so I could sew it without having to order stuff online (as it was under lockdown).. I had a bit of trouble with the binding where it joins the crotch bit, but I think that was me. It all worked out in the end. I would sew it again.
This pattern is so versatile, not just because of the variations but because it looks so good and so different depending on what fabric you choose. I’ve made two so far, a casual animal print dress and a plain black jumpsuit perfect for work and easy to dress up, and I have two more planned so this pattern is proving really good value. Well drafted and easy to follow instructions including a properly lined bodice.
