DIY Jumpsuit with Front Tie – Dana Jumpsuit pattern

Hello sew-friends! Today, I'm actually sharing an old make that has never been shared before. The other day, I was looking in my closet for something to wear and found this Dana Jumpsuit. This is one of the samples that I made for the pattern back at the end of 2019 and I had completely forgotten to share it. The Dana Jumpsuit is a great pattern for summer so I thought now would be the perfect time to give it a little love.

The Dana Jumpsuit is a really fun pattern that has a lot of skill building opportunities. Both views have scoop neck, short sleeves, bust darts, front patch pockets and a front tie. The front tie creates nice shaping in the front but leaves the back loose so that you're always comfortable. A number of my testers called this jumpsuit "secret pajamas"! View A has full length pants and View B is shorts with a V-neck back.

The closure is an invisible zipper at the back. If you've never sewn an invisible zipper before, I encourage you to give it a try. It's really not that hard and it gives a beautiful finish. Plus, any wonky stitches are hidden on the inside!

The fabric is a rayon that I picked up in the LA fashion district. I think I got it at Angel Textiles from a literal pile of fabric on the ground. lol! I love shopping there and digging around to see what I can find. Sadly, due to the pandemic I have not gone to the fashion district, probably since I bought this fabric. I've been working on sewing my stash (which is incredibly large btw!). The only fabric I bought during our pandemic times was knit fabric for my Summer Sweatsuit pattern. Anyway, I was hoping to get back downtown soon but the covid numbers are getting bad in LA again. So, even though I am vaccinated, I'm going to keep working through my stash for the time being.

Ok, back to the pattern! I really love wearing this jumpsuit because it's comfortable, cute and feels a little sporty. I feel put together but still like I could climb a fence if I needed too. Yay shorts! The pattern is drafted for bust/hip measurements of 32-58" (81-147cm). You can get all the details in the shop.

Btw, just in case you’re wondering. I recently got this hat on Amazon and have been wearing it non stop. It’s packable, has a chin tie (moved to the back in the photos) and you can tighten the brim to fit your head. I wear hats any time I go outside to protect my skin and eyes from the sun. I wanted something that I can travel with and that will stay on in the wind. This one checks all those boxes! You can check it out here.
