Heyhey,

my jumpsuit starts looking good 🙂 The first steps can be found here: pattern, cutting, sewing1 and sewing2

 

 

after finishing the left side seam with zipper last week, I pinned the right side seam

sewed, the later pocket opening only with wide stitching, then I placed the pocket within the front-part

folded it over and sewed it to the seam allowance, then folded it back into the front

then folded the other seam allowance onto the back-side-seam-allowance

and pinned it to the seam allowance

sewed close to the seam

and the opened up the wide stitching

now I pinned and sewed the inseam

and tried it on… looks way to wide in my eyes

already looks better, I only pinned the seams in the waist-part and not at the side seams, because I wanted to avoid to sew the zipper in again – lazy me

then I marked how wide the new darts need to be

and measured how much longer the darts need to be, because I marked with a pin the highest part of my butt when wearing the jumpsuit, thats where the dart should end

and unpicked the seams around the seams and darts that need to be altered

at the top I unpicked the whole part between the marking for the ruffles, so the ruffles will be the same all around

then I drew the new dart in the back and made the smaller one longer to match with the bigger dart and sewed both

and drew a new dart in the front part and sewed

and sewed parallel to the original seams in the waist parts, the same measurement I pinned away

then cut it close to the original seam and ironed the seam allowance apart again

then I pinned the ruffled part at the top again, and sewed

then I sewed the waist-seam again.

already looks much better I think

ok, of to the finishing: hem and lining of the waist-part. So next week will be the last steps of this project.
