Made by a Fabricista: Sew Red - Vogue 9075
For the first time this year, the weather consistently rose above 60 degrees. The long awaited Spring has arrived and hasn't failed me yet (fingers crossed).


Today's dressy jumpsuit is courtesy Vogue Pattern 9075 found (HERE). The dabric is a "hot tamale poly/twill suiting" from Fabric Mart. Once I saw the color, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it!


This is one of the simplest patterns I've sewn in a while. In under 3 hours, I had a completed garment. Instead of lining this top, I opted to create a facing for the center front, and center back pieces, using the original pattern piece.


Once attached, The pattern piece and the facing (both with finished edges) were pressed towards the facing, under stitched, clipped in the curve.



I repeated this step for the (2) center back pieces.


From here, all other steps should be according to the manufacturer's instruction. I will be completely honest, this pattern is so simple, I did not read the instructions at all! I assembled the pants, put the pockets on, sewn my pleats (which I laid flat instead of towards the center front), a double hem on the sleeves and pants, added the a zipper and that was IT! You cannot construct a jumpsuit any simpler!.


And there you have it! I can't wait to wear this over the spring/summer.






Happy Sewing!

    That's sophisticated and cool. That's what they call "effortlessly chic".

    The drawing looks like the waistline sits on the waist but your dress looks like it is a dropped waist with the belt being much higher. Did you alter the bodice length to be a dropped waist? You said you just sewed the pattern right out of the envelope. Love the outfit, love the color, just confused as to the dimensions.

    Hi Mrsmole, I did not make any adjustments to the waist on this pattern. The waistline is exactly where the belt is. Thanks so much!
