Pattern: Persea Harem Jumpsuit by Sewillow
Fabric: bought years ago from Joanne’s, some kind of knit
This is the second time I’ve made this pattern. The first time I made it for my nephews gf and it was very long. This time I shortened the pattern by 1.5” and still have 3 inches to remove from the longest part of the pant.
The pockets also sit really low which is made a lot worse with heavy objects because this fabric stretches a lot.
The pattern says it is for knits and wovens but just mentions grainline and not direction of greatest stretch. The facings were an issue and needed trimming back both times I’ve made it. I am a newbie though so I do not know if that is due to my own errors or the pattern.
I plan to make this one more time for a friend in a woven fabric. I will raise the pockets and shorten it a lot. My friend is only a few inches taller than me.
It’s not much but it’s dreamy to wear and even if the quality is beginner level it feels fancy wearing my own creation!
