This may be one of those posts that I meant to write 2 weeks ago and then forgot about it completely! Whoops! This Butterick pattern was one of the ones I bought in a recent sale where all Butterick patterns were $3. I’ve never really worn a jumpsuit before so I was quite looking forward to making this one. I chose view B, the version with the shorts.
I didn’t realise until I started the construction that this had a pretty cool back! There are two pieces which overlap, with a little tie at the neck to keep everything closed. I love this feature!
I had picked up a light cotton lawn for $5 a yard. I knew that whatever garment I made with this would be lovely to wear and cool too. It really is light…and possibly a little see through! :-0
I’ve not got too much to say about this make as it was an easy one and very straightforward. A new technique for me was making the elastic casing from the seam allowance where the top and bottom parts joined together. A good use of the seam allowance I thought. I did need to finish a few of the innards with an overlock stitch to avoid fraying but I do try to do this on everything now, when I can’t use French seams of course!
It is the comfiest item of clothing to wear EVER!!! Very light, very cool & very comfy! I am a tiny bit conscious of the see through sleeves but I have been told that it isn’t see through on the body. :-0 This is definitely going to the ‘make again’ list and I think I will even try the dress version too.

threads + bobbins 
Great romper! I love the fabric and it looks really comfy. Perfect fit, too. 🙂
Thank you 🙂 I was really surprised at how light the fabric was!
Really nice! Definitely looks comfortable and worthy of making again! (What a cute doggy!)
She is a cutie 🙂 Thank you – it will definitely be made again!
I love that it has pockets!
Everything is better with pockets!!
I like the sound of that seam allowance casing technique. It certainly looks comfy and I like your fabric choice!
It is certainly something that I could try to use on other dresses too – such an easy way to insert elastic! Fabric is unbelievably light; I’ve got another black & pink print too waiting to be used.
That’s so cute ! !! I wish I could sew… I would be making stuff just like this :))
Thank you! It was quite an easy make – you should try to teach yourself 🙂
Wow!! That does look comfy! Great job!
Thank you! It sure is comfy!
This looks lovely on you – what a bargain, too!
Thank you – I do feel like jumpsuits are quite flattering! Not sure why I have never worn one before!
Very cute and it looks super comfy, and pockets! I do hope you’ll make up the dress and share, it looks nice also.
I’m hoping to make the dress soon as I think it will be quite an easy make!
Wahay! You made the jump and looking good too! Looks perfect for strolling around and dog walking 🙂
It is sooo perfect for dog walking! And anything else really…it’s lovely and cool 🙂
