Everything you need to know about the Sky jumpsuit

Posted in: Sewing Patterns • December 31, 2018





Build Your Wardrobe with the Sky Jumpsuit

This jumpsuit is a feminine, sleek, and classy project to start your sewing for a new year. Use your favorite woven fabric, like linen or lightweight denim, or pick a special fabric, like silk noil or rayon suiting, to sew an elegant piece for 2019.

Sky features a v-neck finished with a facing, with bust and waist darts for shaping, side seam pockets that are secured at the waistline, and sleeves that hit mid-bicep. The waist ties wrap around 1 1/2 times, the hem hits 2” above the ankle, and the jumpsuit is finished with a center back invisible zipper with a keyhole closure.
