Summer jumpsuit TOFO is ideal for long, warm summer days. Whether you're heading to the beach or park with the kids, running around town or on a date with someone special, this jumpsuit will work with you and your lifestyle all day long.
TOFO is a loose-fitting pull-on short jumpsuit (or romper, or playsuit) featuring elastic back- and waistband, adjustable, removable straps, a knotted or bow-tie belt and pockets. I named it after stunning Tofo, Mozambique, one of my favorite places on the planet where my family and I created dear memories.
This pattern was drafted for a B cup and approx. 168 cm or 5ft.6in. Step-by-step instructions will guide you whether using a standard sewing machine only or in combination with a serger.
GENERAL INFO
This is a computer drafted, print and cut PDF pattern, printable in black/white or color. The A0 + copyshop files are included in your purchase. The pattern includes all sizes, but the size views can be easily toggled on or off in order to print only the size you want to make. Step-by-step, illustrated instructions include tips on bust adjustments and provide extensive detail.
SIZING + FABRIC
Note: finished measurements for high bust are approximate and no waist measurements are given as these will vary based on the amount of elastic used.
Mid- to lightweight wovens such as Tencel twill, broadcloth, chambray, linen, seersucker, shirting, for example, will work best with the summer jumpsuit TOFO. An element of drape adds a lovely, elegant touch, and a touch of stretch may offer additional comfort, but is not required.
