I have lost 4.5st since January and I am having to adjust loads of my clothes and some of my makes I have had to do the same as I suggested for your Jarrah and the adjustments have been successful
Nap! I sew a lot with velvet one of my favourite fabrics, although some say to sew with the nap running down I prefer the nap to run up. I had a very embarrassing moment once, I made the Freya top (TATB) pattern in this gorgeous velvet from fabric godmother, I sewed the top with the nap running down. I was out shopping and I felt a little draught around my midriff only to realise my tummy was on show, the nap had rubbed against my coat and had ridden up!😳 Also I find when wearing tops with nap running down there is resistance when putting coats on. They do say that colours are richer when the nap runs up. I loved the burgundy so sparkly and the pink fabric is gorgeous too!
I've recently made a Jarrah and initially did the split sleeves, but even though I sized down they were too long and I knew they would get on my nerves, so I ended up cutting them off at the top of the split and adding a cuff, and I also put a waistband on instead of just hemming.
With your Jarrah, I would recut the pattern in your size, cut off the sleeves and trim the sides, put the pattern back on the pieces and cut out again, leave the sleeves as they are to do that you can re-inset but you could cut them down from the top to allow you to make them the length you want. That should sort it out for you.
I think you look beautiful in your "jumpsuit". Look at yourself in the mirror and not looking straight down at your bottom half. Think you'll realize your belly is not as noticeable as you think. Beautiful holiday outfit.

Hi Helen. Lovely makes and great plans too. Thank you🎉
Love the burgundy- interesting to see the slight difference the nap makes to the colour. Still looks very good though xxx
Love these fabrics ❤
Thanks for sharing Helen. 💙🧶🌈🍓
Thanks Helen
Lovely vlog and your hair looks great 😅
Hoping you can sort the green top out because the colour really suits you.
Hi Helen, lovely plans & can’t wait to see your Sonny made up 😊
Love the Holstein print
Great plans for the jackets Helen, I’ve fallen down the Bestie bag rabbit hole, it’s a fabulous fun sew. I’ve made all 3 sizes now 🙄🥰

Helen use yr fab faux jumpsuit as lux jams/loungewear over Christmas... perfect 😊
Oh I love that idea! ❤️
Add elastic to the sleeve
