Read all about the sheath dressSince its introduction in the 1950s, the form fitting sheath dress continues to be a popular silhouette in women’s fashion.  It’s sleek, sexy, and sophisticated.  Sherri from sewbettyanddot focuses on the sheath dress in her guest post at Pattern Patter, discussing the features and history of the dress style.  Go to Pattern Patter to read about it and to see photos showing the evolution of the sheath dress through the decades.

    Thanks so much for posting this (I’m the author!). Once a month on the Pattern Patter blog I do a “Focus On” post on a style, garment element (sleeves, necklines, etc.).

    I love your blog and have been getting your email pushes for more than a year…so fun!

30 Jumpsuits You Can Sew Yourself – From Effortless Weekend Wear to Showstopping Styles

Let’s talk about the magic of jumpsuits.

One piece. Endless style. Zero outfit math.

Whether you’re living in your sewing studio or just dipping your toes into garment-making, there’s a jumpsuit pattern out there with your name on it. Think about it:

• Instant outfit (no more staring at your closet at 8am)
• Comfort that looks chic (secret pajama vibes, but make it fashion)
• Custom-fit perfection (goodbye gaping backs and too-long straps!)

But here’s the problem – store-bought jumpsuits never seem to get it quite right. The waist hits at the wrong spot. The straps dig in. The fabric feels cheap.

That’s why we’ve hunted down 30 incredible jumpsuit patterns – from easy-breezy weekend rompers to sleek, tailored styles that’ll make you feel like a fashion designer. And the best part? Many of these are absolutely FREE.

Whether you’re a beginner looking for a quick win or an advanced sewist ready for a challenge, this roundup has your next favorite project. Let’s find your perfect match!
