Talk about 'late to the party' - I made my first jumpsuit this summer -The Deer and Doe Sirocco jumpsuit, and I love it!! I had all the doubts about wearing one - mainly the bathroom issue BUT it is so comfortable, and I feel great in it. ( my age? - 75 )
Your comment really made me smile! I love the idea of being brave and trying new things at any age. I agree with you, the Sirocco Jumpsuit is ridiculously comfortable, and I'm sure you look incredible in it!!
wow you have me really inspired with all of your amazing makes. i'm ready to sew a jumpsuit! for fabric picks, i vote for the first geometric dot print. the style of the pattern is very mod to me and i feel like the floral is too romantic and the african wax print won't hold that notched neckline very well. i can see it flopping over even if you use IF or clear elastic.
Thanks, Sara! What a nice comment! I think you have nailed it with the style/fabric choice. I think the geometric is my first choice. If I fall in love with the jumpsuit, I might just have to get a little experimental with the next one. 😉
The floral is so beautiful! It would make a beautiful dress up jumpsuit for going out. All are great but the style of the first one would be my first choice for trying it out and fun everyday or work wear. The third fabric is so pretty! It would be a great swingy dress. You would need to be very careful with the pattern placement in the crotch area if you used it for a jumpsuit. (See Marcy Harriell’s video on making shorts for her hubby - they were fun but the print placement was very ROFL)
I love the idea of a dress up jumpsuit for going out. I am now feeling like I need one of those! That video sounds hilarious. Marcy is so funny, I will need to seek out that video now! 😂
Oh Theresa I love all these fabrics! That floral is gorgeous and will look amazing on you. If I have to choose I think the black and white geometric is the least like any of your previous jumpsuits. Plus it will look so ‘cool’ with some sunglasses.😎Also, I think it will make the pattern features really stand out. 😊Which ever one you choose will look beautiful!
Thank you, Janet! I'm leaning towards the geometric. I will use all of these fabrics at some point though, so I'm sure you'll be seeing them eventually!
I am so happy that I have found your channel. Your sewing and enthusiasm is amazing and I wish I could sew and have the knowledge you have. You really inspire me and hopefully one day I will achieve a little of what you have 😊. All the jumpsuits look great on you the African fabric is stunning although I love the floral one
Oh wow, thank you! Knowledge definitely comes from experience. The more you try (and make mistakes), the more you learn. If you push yourself, you could absolutely learn to sew as well as me!
You sure do rock the jumpsuit! I watch all your videos and still hadn't noticed how many jumpsuit patterns you've made. This was an excellent roundup. I love the geometric black and white jersey fabric for the style of pattern you are going to use. The centre seam and darts on the bodice might cut the floral design up a bit too noticeably. That potential issue won't apply to the smaller scale geometric design.
Thank you, Nancy! I was surprised, myself, to see how many jumpsuits I've made over the last few years. I really do reach for them in my wardrobe, though, so I'm not stopping now!
LOVED your inspirations, OMG I didn't notice how many jumpsuits you've already made, LOVE them, and your stripe play always makes me happy! I need to catch up, I'm still sitting at 0/0 in the jumpsuit department lol but know that this challenge will set me up for success. I think the floral or the black geometric fabric would suit this design because of how busy and smaller the prints are the darts and center seem wouldn't be as obvious as it would in that beautiful teal/blue African print knit, although, honestly that would look awesome too! You can't go wrong!
Thank you so much, Fatmata! I had no idea quite how many jumpsuits I'd made until I started this video. Hey, I know what I like! 😉 I think you'll be an absolute convert. Can't wait to see what you make for this challenge!
All your jumpsuits look amazing. Thanks for sharing such great details for each. I have the Valley pattern but didn’t realize it only has three pieces. Now I am rearranging my sew list 😊. The Alice and Co jumpsuit is darling with that neckline. Adding that to my list for sure. All three of the fabrics would look great so I’ll vote for the #1. Thanks so much Theresa for participating in the challenge. Can’t wait to see your make!
The Valley is such a bizarre pattern, and the instructions are similarly strange. They send you over to TH-cam for part of them and a blog post for another. The result is great, though! I did size down a lot with it, so check the finished garment requirements. I'm expecting to have a long list of new jumpsuits to buy by the end of this month. Just to be clear, that is not a problem. That is a blessing! 😉
I think the geometric. I think the flowers would get lost on the jumpsuit and that you have enough blue jumpsuits. I love love love all three fabrics - so beautiful
I think you bring up some good points. Geometric seems to be winning. I'm sure that whatever happens with each of these fabrics, the results will be beautiful! (Or at least I hope! 😉)
All 3 fabric choices are beautiful. I like the black and white geometric for the jumpsuit. I'd save the other 2 for a floaty summer wrap dress. Looking forward to seeing what you make!
Great video, as always! My #1 choice is the geometric - I think it's unlike your other jumpsuits and suits the lines of the pattern very well. I do love both those other fabrics - that floral is go-geous and that blue print is fabulous. I know you will make good use of those two; perhaps, as you say, in more jumpsuits. LOL
The Farris jumpsuit and the Zadie with Lady McElroy fabric look wonderful on you! I haven’t made a jumpsuit yet, but I always wear onesies to bed🤣 so I know I would like one. The Farris appeals to me because of the bust options (I am petite, but often need the FBA). I think I have hesitated because of the amount of fabric needed, and being petite I imagine the crotch being down by my knees! 💕
It sounds like you absolutely need to make a jumpsuit!! The Farris would be a good one for you to start with. Jennifer Lauren gives tons of finished garment measurements in her instructions, including length from shoulder to waist and front/back crotch lengths (and inseam, of course). She makes it so easy to make the right adjustments. And no FBA needed. The fabric requirements aren't too different from a dress, especially if you get wide fabric (2-3 meters/yards depending on your size). I think you'll love it-It's a great pattern. Now I'm thinking that I need to make another!
Definately the graphic black and white fabric because it goes so well with the strict lines and silhouet of the pattern. I love the african print though. It’s amazing. 👌And thank you so much for all your tutorials and very, very informative videos. 🙏
Iairboat your frank, and yet still delicate, discussion of juniper and bathroom situations! Spot on reasoning! Those three fabrics you are contemplating are absolutely gorgeous!!! What a tough decision! I feel like I need to go back and look at the jumpsuit pattern again, but I lean towards the geometric black and white fabric. Good luck deciding!
I've adored jumpsuits since I had a romper at probably 3 or 4 years old. They're my most made and worn item. I like your explanation at the beginning about using the bathroom. 😄 I bet you've created some converts.
I love the geometric or the floral. Both would look amazing. I feel like that style of jumpsuit could be casual or dressy, so you'll get a lot of wear out of whatever you make. Great video!
Hi Theresa, think the black n white or the floral fabric would look really nice BUT I truly favor the black n white, it is very classy, in my opinion. You would be able to dress it up or just be casual. Keep up the awesome videos, really enjoy visiting. Good luck!
Oh, don't let the pleats put you off! The instructions are good, and all you're doing is folding the fabric a couple of times. If you follow your pattern markings, you'll be fine. And worst comes to worst, your seam ripper is your friend! They have you do a long baste stitch on the pleats first, so it's easy to take them out. Thanks for watching! 😁
Hi Teresa, as much as I love a splashy print, I think the black with the little white squares would be my pick for that garment. Can’t wait to see what you decide!
Hi Theresa, well, for being late to the party I think you have definitely caught up and maybe made it into the lead! 😂🎉. Because of your concerns about the weight of the African print and floral I think the geometric fabric wins hands down. The African print definitely looks too lightweight and personally the floral is my favorite- maybe save that for a tried and true? Love your versions. Thanks for sharing.
I honestly didn't realize how many I'd made until I started adding them up. I guess I'm making up for lost time? 😂😂 I'm leaning towards the geometric print, but it's fun to consider options!
Thanks for sharing all the jumpsuits you've made, wow, so many different styles. I particularly like the Farris and don't recall seeing it before. I prefer the black and white geometric print for your new one, it suits the design best and will look smart as the Brits say. The floral says twirly skirt to me and the African design is so pretty but probably not the best substitute for the jumpsuit design. Looking forward to seeing what you make.
First time watching your channel and enjoyed it. I love the floral for the jumpsuit but I think any of your choices will be great. Can't wait to see it completed.
Hey you could make a strap/tab instead of a tie on the Sallie. You could make it with a button but a snap would be easy and quick to use. Waaayy back in the day I had a swimsuit that had two buttons on a strap in this part of the back/neck. I loved it because I have small shoulders.
I vote for the floral fabric! I only wear jumpsuits that don't require undoing buttons or ties to take off as it genuinely annoys me so much every time I need to use the loo. Even the Sallie jumpsuit with that one tie bugs me. I've pretty much sworn off wearing even my relatively easy to don and doff jumpsuits because I find it so irritating. I still think they can look great, though, so if you have the patience for them, fair play to you! The Frisco jumpsuit from Threadbear Garments is another great pull-on style, really chic.
Someone gave me the suggestion of using a snap instead of a tie on the back of the Sallie, which sounds genius. I am definitely trying that. I totally understand not wanting the extra work getting a jumpsuit on and off. It doesn't really bother me unless I'm desperate for the loo. 😉 I've just had a look at the Frisco one, and it looks so good! Adding that one to the list. Maybe a spring/summer make for next year. Thanks for the suggestion, lovely!
@@LostMyThread I put a magnetic snap on my Sirocco(s) and it worked super well to keep it nicely closed at the crossover point. Plus magnets are so fun, I love adding them to my clothes.
Hold off on the African knit, I’ve tried lightweight jerseys in compromising ways, and ended up not only interfacing it, but starching the heck out of it. Was a nightmare, actually. I like the floral, but you can’t go wrong with either the geometric or the floral. Speaking of nightmares, unfortunately this long torso of mine (typically adding 2” to most pattern bodices) was stuffed into jumpsuits in the 70’s to yes, wedgies. I still remember how uncomfortable they were. If/when I get past my past history with jumpsuits, I could jump on board. But, sew much to sew, sew many things I want to accomplish, sometimes not sure all these challenges fit in. I try to participate when I can. And I know intellectually as a sewist I have 100% control over the torso length of any garment. Do take care.
I hear you about the lightweight jersey. It's hard to get past that original vision, but sometimes it isn't too realistic! I'm sorry to hear about your history! Not good. Not good. 🙈 If you're ever wanting to try one, and you like the style of it, the Farris Jumpsuit by Jennifer Lauren Handmade comes with loads of finished garment measurements. She gives measurements for the shoulder to waist and front/back crotch curves, so it's a great one to try if you want to know it will fit your torso. I hear you though, so many challenges and so many things to sew. I say take part if something excites you and pass if it doesn't. This one just happens to be close to my heart.
@@LostMyThread I’m put off by the construction more than the wearing - I still haven’t mastered fitting trousers on me yet, so this seems like a step too far 😆
@@MarieMadeThis well, the looser fitting bottoms are a lot more forgiving (Farris and Zadie) and knit ones don't have to be such a perfect fit (Sallie and Sirocco). Not that I'm trying to convince you. Just saying. 😬
Your jumpsuits are all lovely and really suit you. Unfortunately I've only attempted a jumpsuit twice and had no luck either time. The first was the new look 6446 and I loved it but getting the zip down meant it wasn't practical so that got changed to a dress and the other one ended up as cropped pants. I do like the look of your jennifer lauren one but I won't be joining the challenge. Hope yours goes well Theresa.
Thank you, Annette! I absolutely feel your pain with the back zip. The New Look jumpsuit looks really cool, but I'd never be able to get in and out without help. The Jennifer Lauren one is really such a great jumpsuit. I'm realizing that I probably need to repeat that pattern. I would highly recommend trying it!

Isn't that fabric a knockout? It makes me smile just to look at it!
I had a blue polka dot jumpsuit in the 1968 and really liked it. I also had a white one I wore a lot!
Awesome! They are such a comfortable option. I was so pleasantly surprised when I started wearing them!

Hey, the bathroom thing needed to be addressed! 😂 They really are such a comfortable and wearable garment. Love them!
I think the geometric print suits the style of the pattern best! But whatever you choose will look great!! ❤
I think you're right on both counts! I'll start with the geometric and see how I get on.
I agree with the majority the black and white. It will be stunning.❤️🧵
Oh, I really hope so! I think it will be incredibly comfortable. I'm looking forward to wearing it already!
I vote for the geometric as well. I think it matches the geometric lines (notch, V) of the necklines. What a nice pattern.
Such a great point! I think you're on to something with the lines of the pattern!
I love the geometric or the floral. Both would look amazing. I feel like that style of jumpsuit could be casual or dressy, so you'll get a lot of wear out of whatever you make. Great video!
