I am super long-waisted and curvy, and the only jumpsuit I've ever tried sewing was such a total fitting failure that I couldn't even bear to finish it. It's still hanging on my upstairs banister, where I glare at it every time I pass by. I'm too disheartened by it to even try and upcycle it into something to salvage the fabric.<br /><br />All that said, your UTTERLY STUNNING version here makes me want to pick myself up and try again. Thank you for the much-needed dose of beauty and inspiration!meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680517897415790140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-34659918996441960582021-02-08T07:46:00.552-05:002021-02-08T07:46:00.552-05:00Great piece!

Oh, hell, now I don't know what to do!<br /><br /><br />I really think it is too difficult for me. Your sewing looks perfect, with those perfectly parallel topstitch lines, and the fitting is fine. I don't think I can make it look that good, and it is something I would wear with my ho-ho paragliding colleagues (and which I would want them to envy, haha!).<br /><br />I'd need to do a couple toiles or three, maybe in non-woven fabric to speed things up...
