TOP 10 JUMPSUITS TO SEW FOR SPRING
Jumpsuits have secured their place in many makers’ wardrobes as they are a rather clever garment to own. A jumpsuit is an entire outfit.

We hope you find your pattern match and join the jumpsuit brigade!
Friday Pattern Company Avenir Jumpsuit – the easy-fitting one
If you are fairly new to sewing and fancy sewing your own jumpsuit, the Friday Pattern Company Avenir Jumpsuit is an excellent choice.

Elastic gathers the neck and waistline for an easy fit and you can choose from long sleeves gathered at the wrist with elastic or short sleeves. I made one for Christmas Day and I can vouch that it was super comfy, but I felt dressed up enough for the occasion!
