Buy the Lennox Boilersuit and Shirt sewing pattern from Homer + Howells. Lennox is a refined take on the boilersuit with an androgynous utilitarian style.

Lennox has been drafted with a relaxed fit. The bodice has a dropped shoulder, elbow-length sleeves and tucks in the waist. Lennox also has a discreet side bust dart for balance and easy fitting over the bust. Style Lennox with or without breast pockets. The bottoms have a wide-leg silhouette with tailored slash pockets and two leg length options. The waistband can be sewn straight or with an elasticated back waistband.

View C, the Lennox cropped shirt, is great with high waisted trousers or sweat pants.

Lennox is the ideal outfit for day to night or for lounging at home. Perfect made up in lightweight denim, crisp linens or cotton drills.

Lennox boiler suit in denim

I've just recently discovered the fabulous pattern company Homer + Howells, and this is my second make from their patterns. I chose a heavier fabric than called for, but that didn't cause any trouble at all. The pattern is beautifully drafted and the instructions are easy to follow. I made view A with the inclusion of the elasticated waist in the back by view B.

What I like the most is the closure, a mix of zipper at the bottom and buttons at the top. This makes it lie flat where it is supposed to be, and it feels very professional.

I made no alterations because the pattern block they use is almost perfect for my body type. If anything, I'd remove a little from the length in the bodice, but it's not bothering me at all.

Ive written an extensive blog post about Lennox if you are interested in the long read.

This pattern is highly recommended, it is fabulous as it is and it has great hacking potential, too.

Great minimalist jumpsuit

I am a very big fan of all Homer + Howells patterns. They are drafted so professionally and feature lovely little details that make them stand out.

I chose to make view B, which is cropped leg length and it features elasticated waist. I did do a toile first which is am very please i did. The big change i made i shortened a bodice by 3 cm and i also tapered trousers from hips by 10cm. Also, i ended up not adding elasticated waist to the final jumpsuit.

The pattern has a very relaxed lose fit, which is very important for a jumpsuit. it is very comfortable and does not pull anywhere.

The pattern features bust dart and little tucks at the front and back, which created a lovely shape.

The complicated bit for me was fly zip and collar stand, but surprisingly it worked so i have to credit great instructions and illustrations.

I made my jumpsuit in Mind the Maker denim, its worked great, the only thing to mention, there is no need for fusing waistband or collar if you use similar weight fabric.

I wear mine with leather boots but also will look great in summer time with trainers.

Love this pattern so definitely recommend it.

Jumpsuit pattern of dreams

As a self confessed #jumpsuitaddict I volunteered myself to give some input into behind the scenes prior the pattern launch with Nic and Susan at Homer and Howells luckily they invited me along with this part of the journey and the collaboration was a brilliant experience for me.

I’ve written a blog post all about it and  my two #hhlennox jumpsuits so far. I can honestly say after making over 50 jumpsuits this is one of my most favourite. And my velvet #hhlennox is my most favourite make ever!

I’m not finished with this pattern yet though there is so much scope for hacks I just need more time. So watch this space @jenlegg_teescreatives
