Super choices, all of these will be fab!

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

Thank you Debs, it's a tough choice isn't it? 😘💖💝

[@belinda58sews29]

Hi hi hi! So great to see you again! Love all your options. Thanks for putting this together.

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

Hi Belinda 🥰 I hope you make a jumpsuit as well!!! 🥰💖

[@pipskilou]

Yay! Lovely to see you back on screen ❤ Lots of fab inspo there thank you. I just need to regain my sewjo and get something made up for sewfrugal. See you very soon 😘 😘

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

Yay!! See you soon Pipski Lou 😍🥰 I've got more inspiration for you if you need it 💝

[@bluegrassdreams2seams510]

Love all your ideas and how you rethink in mid-sentence your ideas! The best part of sewing is the vision taking shape, or maybe being modified during the sewing phase! I always decide on buttons last; usually I take the garment to the fabric store. Buttons can make or break the entire look. The Perilla jumpsuit is beautiful and FREE! The Meadow jumpsuit was my favorite just because I LOVED the sleeves! The Forrest jumpsuit was also interesting. The cute collar could be worn like a stand up collar; loved the pockets on this one. So those are my favorites. Looking forward to seeing which you choose first to complete😊

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

I also take the garment to a fabric store to choose the buttons!! And yes, the little collar could be worn up, couldn't it?! All the jumpsuits are quite nice, it's going to be a bit of a challenge to choose one 🤔😂🥰

[@cjane51]

Nice idea Alissa!

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

Thank you Claudia!! 💝❤️

[@patternpouchnest9529]

Haya. Wonderful suggestions 😍I gotta love me a romper/jumpsuit/overalls 🤩The fabrics you showed a beautiful & would work perfectly 💙Thanku 'sew' much for sharing 🪡✂🧵🙂Ana. x

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

Hi Ana, I'm so happy you got inspired by my video! I hope you make yourself a jumpsuit (or two, as there are never enough) 😘🥰😍

[@patternpouchnest9529]

@@Sloths.and.Orchids Very true 🤣😍

[@SewVeryLaura]

Great minds think alike! I have the Perilla in my picks too! I love a shirt, just like you. It's been fun sharing today on the vlogger tour with you x

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

Yes it's been fun sharing the vlogging day, we do like the jumpsuits don't we (what's not to like) 😘 Can't wait to see what you make, I'm still undecided 😀😜

[@Lyagushka8669]

All lovely ideas, babe! And you could also participate in the jumpsuit challenge at the same time 😉 I adore jumpsuits so I want them all 😍 Can’t wait to see which one you pick! 😘

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

Ooooo what jumpsuit challenge!!? I know, they are all awesome, not sure sure which one I'll be going for yet 🤔🤪🥰

[@Frugalisama]

Ooh that meadow jumpsuit is fab Alisa. Thanks for sharing your ideas & giving us suggestions of how to wear & style them & for helping us out with the prizes

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

You're most welcome lovely, it's a pleasure and the least I can do! The Meadow jumpsuit is lush ❤️🥰

[@LostMyThread]

You in a shirt jumpsuit makes so much sense, Alisa! Your fabrics are all gorgeous. Can't wait to see what you make!

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

Ha ha well we all have a bit of a soft spot for button ups don't we 😍💖🥰 I'm still undecided after I've been through all the options, so still a decision to make 😉😍

[@glendavizecky7581]

You have some great ideas for patterns and fabrics. I don't wear jumpsuits anymore. They are to hard to get out of quickly. Just remember when picking cute buttons how easy to unbutton. Maybe put the cute buttons on top of snap closures. Thank you for your videos!

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

Yesss! That too, great advice thank you Glenda. It's one thing to unbutton a shirt dress but would be a completely different story to unbutton and get out of a jumpsuit 🤣😘💝

[@sewsarahstyle]

Fab video thanks, I love the idea of a shirt / jumpsuit 🥰. I’ve made the peppermint valley jumpsuit and love it but I made it a bit too small 🫣🤦‍♀️

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

Oh how come it's small, so you reckon I should size up if I were to go for it? Thank you for watching, and yes the shirt jumpsuits rule!!!! 😘❤️💝

[@sewsarahstyle]

@@Sloths.and.Orchids ah, sorry, I’m glad you asked that because actually I seem to remember people saying it comes up big so I sized down too many sizes I think!! Definitely check out the reviews on Instagram. So basically it was my fault it was too small! 🤦‍♀️

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

Ha ha sounds like something I would do 🤣 that's good to know that the sizing is off, I will investigate, thank you!!! ❤️🥰

[@ibean1981]

Ooooh! I want to make a jumpsuit!

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

I think you totally should!! For the challenge or for no reason at all 🥰😍

[@ibean1981]

@@Sloths.and.Orchids I’m feeling that wrap front one. I’d remove the collar though I have a short neck.

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

Yes, alter the heck out of it to make it what you want!!! 😍🥰

[@sewsarahstitch]

Alisa, all your suggestions are fab. I am not sure what I am going to make yet but you have inspired me to have a look at some free jumpsuit patterns 😍

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

Oh I'm so glad, Sarah! As long as there's inspiration, the ideas will come flooding in 😘🥰

[@leannsews]

Oh Alisa, I love the Forrest ! I can totally see you pulling it off. To me, I see it in a darker colour with vintage buttons because of the era it seems to reflect. Second I do like the second one, the wrap with the 🌷sleeve. I can't wait to see what you do.

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

Ahh thank you Leann!! (I like the Forrest too!!!) Still undecided as they are all lovely though 😘❤️

[@surban2005]

You are my favorite!!! So happy to see a new video! Love all your choices! I may do this frugal challenge if I can find an easy spring top to get me out of my slump. Love love your colors! Can’t wait to see your make! Keep styling you’re awesome!

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

Ahhh thank you Stephanie! You're my favourite too! 😘🥰😍 I'm sure you'll find an easy top pattern - watch the vloggers to see if someone talks about tops!! Good luck in the challenge, you can do it! ❤️

[@rayleenwallace8750]

Oohhhh the Perilla is gorgeous I hadn’t seen that one! I too love shirt dresses so why not shirt jumpsuit🎉🎉 I say YES

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

Good thinking Rayleen!! I knew I'd find the shirt top fans out there 😘😍

[@rayleenwallace8750]

@@Sloths.and.Orchids❤🎉

[@physioontheriver7325]

Hard to choose as I like them all in their own way! I think I like the third one but being quite curvy not sure it would suit my shape. Diana

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

I think the first one and the last one are made for curvy bodies! I'm curvy and I would feel super confident wearing them! Have a go and make a toille!! 😍💖

[@craftyclyde6870]

Great suggestions! loved this video :) May I ask what shirt you are wearing in this? x

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

@Crafty Clyde thank you!! 😍🥰 The shirt was made with the Myfabrics.com cotton and the pattern is Vikisews Cynthia x

[@craftyclyde6870]

@@Sloths.and.Orchids thank you! 😊

[@ellencr5995]

Love your choices! A bit of a tangential question, but did you make your striped blouse? Love it!

[@Sloths.and.Orchids]

Thank you Ellen! ❤️🥰 The shirt I'm wearing is Vikisews Cynthia, it's a great pattern... I've made 5-6 of them so far...I am obviously not familiar with the moderation concept 🤪
