Did you read last week’s post about the Riva jumpsuit? If that’s a big negative on your part, go back and read that FIRST before you watch this week’s Work in Progress.
In the latest WIP, you’ll go behind the scenes of jumpsuit construction. This wasn’t a particularly complicated sewing pattern, but danged if I didn’t have a heckuva of time, thanks to silly mistakes. My hope is that you’ll watch this vid, learn from my dumb-dumb moments, and feel better about your own inevitable boo-boos. They happen to all of us.

Here’s my big Olfa cutting mat; it’s glorious and my ride-or-die sewing room tool. (My mat’s not double-sided like this one, unfortunately.)
Here’s a cat onesie that’s very similar to my kitteh PJs (which I got at Target a few years back). It’s warm, y’all, and my younger son thinks it’s hilarious to pull my tail (rude).
I love a blind hem. Here’s Amazon’s Choice for “blind hem foot,” which fits most low-shank machines.
Here’s my jumpsuit fabric on Joann’s website. It was fab to work with; highly recommend.
