Another mood fabrics free pattern completed for the sew your view challenge. Actually completed with a few hacks as I always do.

For my pattern hacks, I figured I would share a bit of my process.

When I see a pattern I always ask myself “is this a style I will wear more than once or better still, is this I style I will wear”. If not then I have learned to just skip it because chances are I will not actually sew it. If it’s something that I could possibly wear, I also ask “what is it that I am not too crazy about”.

So for the Verna pattern, I loved it, it was cute but…..It’s one that you have to wear a tshirt or cami in. I saw someone model a jumpsuit like that and it really looked cute but in my head I didn’t want to constantly look for a top to put under it. 

So next step was to  browse inspiration jumpsuits with a similar concept but closed, and there were a lot of options.Just google ruffle jumpsuit. I ended up choosing the blue one pictured.

I looked at the line art to see what changes I wanted to make. So my changes were

– create a strapless bodice

– have the ruffles on the princess seam

– Gathered Asymmetric ruffles widening at the shoulder and narrow at the base

– elastic added to the ruffle part connecting front and back bodice

– invisible zipper

 

So that is the overview of what I did, and I hope the picture I drew gives a little visual.

Fabric I used a linen fabric from hobby lobby that was sold out at my location, but here are a few other options. White and blue stripes, Boheme Indigo Stripes, smaller stripe linen blue
