The real deal; Sirocco Jumpsuit

Leading into last summer, I made my toile of the Sirocco as a romper. I really liked it and it became my staple wear for those hot days when I didn't leave the house. Now, i've finally go around to making the real deal!

This is the jumpsuit pattern, including the pockets and getting the pleats the right way around this time! I also sized down to to a 42 based on the fit of the toile. Constructed entirely on the overlocker makes it fast and quite easy.

This is 2 different knit fabrics from Girl Charlee, the last of the fabrics that I won in my bundle at Guthrie and Ghani during the SewBrum raffle in 2019. I didn't have enough to make the jumpsuit all in one fabric, so I used the floral for the top and solid for the trousers. I ended up using the floral for the pockets as well as I didn't have enough of the solid. Luckily they coordinate together really well and look good together.

The floral knit is quite a lot lighter than the solid navy though, so it's not ideal for this pattern. The weight of the jumpsuit pulls on the shoulders a little. Other than that it is great though - I love the way it looks and will wear it quite often, I think. Next time I come across a knit I love, I know what to do with it!
