Me encantan sus tutoriales y patrones. Muchas gracias.
Love this pattern and am very excited to try it out! Would it be possible to do a zipper instead of buttons for the front?
Melissa, that’s exactly what I was thinking of doing!
If you look at the denim version of the Forrest Jumpsuit they did last year, you can see an example of a zipper front instead of the pattern’s original buttons! I was thinking of doing this myself and was planning on referring to the Forrest Redo with the zipper. Good luck!
Cute
¿Can I use this pattern for men’s?
Hello there!
Thanks for visiting the Mood Sewciety Blog! We’re proud to have released over 350 free sewing patterns, and we hope you’re enjoying them.

We have exciting plans for our patterns on the horizon, and as we continue to grow, we’ve decided to focus our sewist support on patterns from the last 2 years. If this pattern hasn’t been recently reduxed or updated, we won’t be able to respond to technical questions on these older posts.
If you come across any pattern errors, rest assured our team is on it – just let us know!
Don’t miss out on our Mood Sewciety Facebook Group – a fantastic space for fellow sewists to connect, share wins, and tackle challenges together.
Thank you for your understanding and happy sewing!
Are there any measurements for the fit of the crotch seam, or is it intentionally loose?
Hi Emma, this jumpsuit is intended to be a little roomy. For a more fitted option, check out our Cherry Jumpsuit Free Sewing Pattern!
I love this pattern, but I’d prefer a tighter waist. Do you have anything on how I could achieve this?
Hi Emma, I think the easiest solution would be to add elastic inside the waistband at the back or all around depending on how tight you want it. The waist tabs probably need to be omitted though. Happy sewing! 🙂
Is there a video of this being made? The pictures are great but I love to follow along with a live tutorial!
Hi Sam, in order to keep our sewing patterns free, we unfortunately don’t offer video tutorials at this time.
Hi! Love your patterns but I live in Europe and I don’t understand how to print it in A4 and not US letter. Do I just print it and hope for the best?
Hi Mateus, we’re sorry for the delay in responding to your question! We get dozens of comments and questions each day, and so many questions get buried and, unfortunately, unanswered. We are now focusing user support on patterns 2 years and newer. We hope this will prevent questions on our more current patterns from going unanswered. Although this is late, we wanted to respond in case anyone else has the same question: our patterns are all formatted to be printed at home in both A4 and US letter sizes!
Dear all
can I use a fabric with elastic?
Thanks and greetings
Hi Heidi, we’re sorry for the delay in responding to your question! We get dozens of comments and questions each day, and so many questions get buried and, unfortunately, unanswered. We are now focusing user support on patterns 2 years and newer. We hope this will prevent questions on our more current patterns from going unanswered. Although this is late, we wanted to respond in case anyone else has the same question: we do not making this making this with fabric with elastic. You could make this with a cotton sateen if you are looking for some stretch.
LUUUVING THIS!!!! Gonna make 2 for my 2 grown girlies❤️❤️
P.S. ty❤️
Love this pattern, but does anyone know of a sew-along video for it? there’s some points I always mess up on.
Hi Georgie,
Unfortunately we don’t currently offer video tutorials for our free patterns.
Wow. I love the pattern, but please next time explaining pictures with fabric that looks different on the other side…I had a really hard time!
Hi! Some of the pattern pieces have a mentioning of ‘a 3/8” SA’ but does this mean the 3/8” SA is included or does this mean that I should add the SA to the pattern?
Thanks in advance!
Hello, all of our patterns have the SA already included!
is there anyway i can take out the belt in the middle? its kinda off for me twt
Hello, removing the belt would alter the fit of the pattern
It’s a beautiful garment, but I had an incredibly hard time with this pattern.
I found the instructions for the most difficult parts too vague, and the process of getting the placket right very frustrating.
I’m also glad I made a mock up, otherwise I would have found myself with something that didn’t fit. If you are curvy, I’d recommend going at least one, if not more sizes higher than the pattern indicates, then adjust accordingly.
Hello! I was wondering how to go about determining how much fabric I would need depending on my size. I am a size 14 working with a 61 inch bolt.
Hello, you will require about 4.5 yards for a size 14.
Could I alter the sleeves so I can make them longer?
Hello, you can use pattern paper to add length at the bottom of the sleeve pattern. Another option would be to swap the sleeve for another one of our patterns that contains a longer sleeve.
