Skill level: Suitable for intermediate sewers.
Construction techniques: Welt pocket, french seam side pockets, collar with neck facing, full sleeve, elasticated waistband, mock fell seams, topstitching details and optional zip fastening.
Sizing: UK Sizes 4 - 28 (with PDF Layers)
The Jesse Jumpsuit cut is relaxed but not oversized. The torso is cut to finish just above the hip with the elasticated waistband pulling it up to sit on your waist. The overall rise is elongated with the back rise slightly more baggy than fitted, leaving enough room for the fabric to skim the hips and thighs.

Suitable fabrics: When choosing your fabric for the Jesse Jumpsuit you need to consider a few things. It should be very comfortable and breathable to wear as it covers your whole body (not itchy or scratchy). It’s a nice idea to choose natural fibres to allow your body to breath and the shape of this pattern benefits from having a fabric that is soft and supple with a bit of drape.
Suitable fabrics include light/medium denim, light/medium twill, light weight canvas, needlecord, wool suiting, linen (beware as linen will crease heavily).
Fabric requirements: Modern Sewing Co.'s lay-plans are always done on a single layer of fabric to reduce wastage.
