Eden cold shoulder Jumpsuit-Designer Stitch Pattern


I love wearing jumpsuits, in one step ready to go! I made a few and I still wear them a lot.
So a new jumpsuit pattern from Designer Stitch means a new jumpsuit for me. This is the Eden Jumpsuit! 
The pattern has options for short ( playsuit) leg or long leg, sleeveless or cold shoulder sleeve or you can even make only the pants. As usual, the pattern has cup sizing.  


I made the longer leg version with the cold shoulder. I started with size 3C and made a muslin. Based on the fit of my muslin I changed the pattern to size 2 for the shoulders/neck area and kept size 3 for the bust /waist/hips. Also did my usual swayback adjustment of 1.5cm. The jumpsuit closes with an invisible zipper at the back and it also has elastic in the waist. I sewed the zipper only on the bodice area. The waist with the elastic is wide enough to pull the pants up without having an opening at the back of the pants .



The fabric is rayon with small paisley motifs. I think this fabric is perfect for this pattern, great drape, I love it.
To give a better impression on how great this fabric is for this pattern, I made a small video. I think that is great to see how the garment "moves"





I am very happy with this jumpsuit and I have at least two fabrics that I want to transform in Eden jumpsuits. 
The pattern is just released and now for a limited time on sale at the Designer Stitch Patterns shop.

Anza Jumpsuit -Itch to stitch


Last year I made my first jumpsuit, the Eliane from SyleArc and after the blue one I made immediately one more. The love for jumpsuits was born! So now I have a bunch of jumpsuits patterns that I want to make and of course fabrics, I want to use for them.  This viscose was bought for a jumpsuit so when this pattern came long this was my first choice. This is the newest pattern from Itch to stitch patterns, the Anza jumpsuit and dress  and it is great!! I say that not because I tested the pattern, as usual, my opinions are mine, but if you will take a look at the tester versions of this you will see what I mean: After seeing all those versions I want at least 4 more.

The Anza comes as a jumpsuit and as a dress, using the same bodice. Of course to make it even more appealing ( for me at least) the patterns has cup sizing to make it easy to fit. I made mine in my usual Itch to stitch size, 4 C. The only change was making the legs 4cm shorter.

The jumpsuit has nice deep pockets, the breast pockets are lined, at the waist casing with elastic and drawstring. I had no nice stoppers for my string so I bought two metal beads, worked perfectly!

I need to wait to wear this as here the temperatures are really no short sleeve adequate and for those times I made also the dress version in a beautiful red crepe, I still need to sew the buttons on.
Love this one and I need to get my hands on some olive Tencel to make another one, and maybe some denim look Tencel....:)
