About The Sisterhood exp Jumpsuit Sewing Kit
Combining Leim’s lovingly curated fabrics and haberdashery with a sewing pattern and detailed instructions - ready to start as soon as it lands on your doorstep.
The Sisterhood ezp® Jumpsuit has a fitted bodice with princess seams and straps that go over your shoulders. They can be worn either straight or crossed and attached inside the waistband with buttons.
The trousers are a loose fit, tapered style and are cropped to 7/8th length. They have sizes either side of the trousers so that you can use the bathroom with ease.
The pattern was drafted for a U.K. D cup, and sizes range from a U.K. 6 to 38 (U.S. 2 to 34, E.U. 34 to 66)
I can't wait to see what you make 🧡
