Sew-Along - The Amy Jumpsuit
Sew Alongs started during Lockdown and proved to be a great way for us to get together and sew. I have decided to keep them going when the Midhurst Sewing Room re-opens.
The Amy Jumpsuit is comfort and breezy elegance all in one tidy, minimalist package. With a figure-skimming silhouette and ultra-wide, cropped legs, it's got the soul of a floaty slip dress in the body of a jumpsuit you'll never want to take off.
Amy features a flattering V-neckline in front and back, with wide shoulder straps designed to conceal bra straps; an invisible side zipper makes it easy to get on and off. Add function with optional inseam pockets, or cinch the waist with a classic tie belt for a more fitted shape.
With just the right amount of 70’s mojo, the Sallie Jumpsuit and Maxi dress is a chic and comfortable wardrobe staple that is easy to wear and easy to make.
Designed for light to medium weight stretch fabric, Sallie features a number of customizable options. Choose between a self-lined V-neck with tie neck closure, or a strappy tank with shoulder ties. On your bottom half, mix and match wide-leg pants, culottes, or a maxi skirt with side slits, all with convenient pockets and a comfortable elasticized waist.
The patterns are available as a pdf here
Once you have purchased your pattern and downloaded it you can upload it to a company such as Fabulosew to get it printed
