Tilly and the Buttons Alexa Jumpsuit

Buy the Alexa Jumpsuit or Playsuit sewing pattern from Tilly and the Buttons. With modern details and a relaxed fit, you’ll feel as cool as a cucumber in this jumpsuit or playsuit. Alexa has a button-front bodice with a curved V-neckline and subtle forward shoulder seam, and a blousy waist cinched in with an external waist channel and tie. The jumpsuit version has easy fitting peg-style trousers.

Add the optional pleated flap pockets and rolled sleeve tabs for a utility look, or leave them off if you want your fabric to do the talking. Whether you wear it for work, rest or play, you’ll feel proud as punch in your handmade jumpsuit or playsuit!
