Sewing The Pattern Emporium SeaChange Jumpsuit

[@lindseynoel3522]

Hi Hayley, I am new to sewing and just watching lots of your videos from the past and getting so much from them. The jumpsuit looks amazing on you and once I am a little more confident I will definitely be giving this a go. Thank you x

[@SewHayleyJane]

Oh wow thank yo so much for watching my videos!! I imagine there's a fair difference in them!

Hi Hayley, your jumpsuit looks fantastic. I have had this pattern since it was released, now you have a sew along I’m going t get it out and follow along. I started a shirt for hubby so as soon as I am finished with that I will make the Seachange. Thanks so much. Val ❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧

Oh yay, so happy I've inspired you to sew it up!

Thanks for the sew along. I had this pattern since release but didn't have the courage to try and make it, being on the curvier side I thought there'd be loads of alterations . The way you folded the fabric really helped too. I couldn't work out how to place the pattern.

I'm just cutting the pattern now and got some great tips from this. Thanks for the video 👍

The jumpsuit looks fab Hayley. I loved the tips Charlotte gave when I did one of her jeans classes.

[@SewHayleyJane]

Thank you Sheelagh

Love this jumpsuit I’ve just purchased the pattern and cannot wait to make one. Thank you for your hints and tips I definitely don’t think I will put the pockets in and I’m going to lengthen the facings because even when I snip into the curves and understitch I still find facings want to misbehave lol xx

I do enjoy watching your creative process and your sewing. 😘 Your jumpsuit looks lovely, Hayley! 💗

[@sblouse]

Loved this and you have inspired me to have a go at this. You look gorgeous in it.

[@SewHayleyJane]

Yay I'm so pleased!

[@patriciaweekes2291]

Can you take the pockets out as there is plenty of ease. What a nightmare to undo the hook at the back, definitely couldn’t live with that. Really enjoyed watching you sew and chat. Thank you 😊

[@SewHayleyJane]

I probably could take the pockets out... I probably won't ever get around to it though!! Hehe!

Haley, Regarding seam allowances … this is my understanding … early on, seam allowances (SAs) were not included in patterns, this allowed the sewist to chose whatever SA desired. (There are a handful of European pattern companies that still release without SAs.) Home use patterns caught on and the American market started getting 5/8” SA marked patterns (I have never found out why 5/8” was the chosen number). Multi-size patterns came along and we lost the marked SAs. And as independent sewing pattern companies evolved, we now have SA variety in home sewing patterns. Incidentally, Commercial patterns have a variety of SAs … 1/4” for many necklines, 1/2” for most side seams, etc. Personally, I find 5/8” SAs rather fiddly: hard to turn curves comfortably, and so very much to clip. I cut down many of my SAs, and would prefer no SAs like the original patterns! 😆 Kira

Ive just been looking at this pattern. Im 5'10 can you give me an idea of how much fabric ill need please? Im hesitant as a new sewer but yours looks fabulous and the fact it also gives the option for tall is fantastic. Many Thanks and Happy Christmas 🎄

[@SewHayleyJane]

Sorry I missed your message!! The pattern instructions will tell you how much fabric you need for your body measurements.
