Do you remember how much I wanted to make harem pants? Well, I finally made it! plus top, so a jumpsuit! I’m so happy about the result. It goes well with my new sandals as well…:)

I’ve been using Jane pattern from Burdastyle a lot lately. For this jumpsuit, I lengthen the pants pattern so it comes right under my knees. Then, I gathered the pants hem using an elastic thread, and added a folded over band. For top, its an easy tube top with ruffle.

The strap was Andy’s idea. He kept saying that he wanted a strap that looked like a choker. I had no idea what he was saying, but after he drew a picture (crappily), I had a better idea of what he was talking about. I’m glad that Andy and I could collaborate on this!

You might have figured out that I’m into rompers now.. I made another one from a lotus flower fabric I got from Tomato while I was in Japan.

For the shorts part, I used Jane pattern from Burdastyle, and the tube top is made out of 20 by 16 inches rectangles. One of my biggest concerns about wearing rompers was how to make it easier to go to bathroom. I saw some cute rompers, but the top part was like a shirt, and I was thinking, it would take a while to take it off in the bathroom… but making the top part a tube top solved the problem! You can just slide right out.

I got a mosquito bite (again!) on my leg… ouch!
