What makes the Pepita jumpsuit so special?

In the mood for a cool jumpsuit? Then Pepita is just the thing for you! Super comfortable, wonderfully practical - and sewn in no time at all? Perfect! The Pepita jumpsuit is a sturdy key piece that will really get your wardrobe moving! The jumpsuit looks more elegant if you sew it in your dress size. If you choose 1–2 sizes larger, it becomes a super casual IT-piece! ;) Sewing a jumpsuit Sewing a jumpsuit

What is the cut of the jumpsuit?

Pepita has a figure-flattering cut: the carrot-shaped trouser legs taper nicely towards the ankle; ideal for rolling them up casually. This looks just as good with sandals as it does with sneakers or boots! Thanks to adjustable straps, the jumpsuit can easily be adjusted to your favorite length. And because Pepita fits loosely over the hips and requires no additional fasteners or buttons, it is also great for sewing beginners!Sewing a jumpsuit

Which fabrics can I use to sew the jumpsuit?

The pattern is designed for non-stretch fabrics, but it can also be sewn very well from stretchy fabrics. In that case, you may want to choose a smaller dress size.Sewing a jumpsuit Saskia is wearing the Pepita jumpsuit in size 42 made from a comfortable Punta di Roma jersey* with a fine check pattern.

How much fabric do I need for each size?

Do I need an overlocker to sew the jumpsuit?

You can sew the jumpsuit either with an overlocker or with the overlock stitch on your sewing machine. By the way, it looks fun if you sew a small pocket onto the large ones! Sewing a jumpsuit

Which size is the right one?

Use our charts to find out which size is right for you. Please keep in mind that sewing patterns can fit a little differently depending on the individual. You can easily adjust the pattern to your body shape by cutting the trouser legs a little narrower or wider, for example.

Ich komme aus Siegen-Wittgenstein, wo ich meine Kindheit damit verbrachte, Kühe einzureiten, von Heuhaufen zu hopsen und in “Handarbeiten” eine 4- zu kassieren.

Kreativ zu sein empfinde ich heute als unbeschreibliches Glück – das sich noch vermehrt, wenn ich es mit anderen teilen kann. Seit 2016 feiere ich auf diesem Blog meine Nähleidenschaft und freue mich, dass das Nähen so viele Menschen verbindet.
