It’s the year of the jumpsuit, and we’re jumping on board this comfy and fabulous trend! From flowing wide-leg jumpsuits to fitted retro silhouettes, jumpsuits are terrific when you want a chic, put-together look with none of the hassle. The Meadow Jumpsuit free sewing pattern is exactly that. We’ve made ours in a simple ponte for an elevated everyday look, but this pattern could look even more exquisite in one of Mood’s foil knits or even a stretch suiting!
Purchase Materials Used Below:
- 5 yards Forest Green Stretch Ponte
- MDF165 – The Meadow Jumpsuit Sewing Pattern (free download below!)
Alternative Recommended Fabrics:
All seam allowances are 1/2″ unless otherwise stated. See chart below for sizing specifications. Note, this specific pattern is available up to a size 30.
First, since this is an unlined garment created with a stretch fabric, I strongly recommend using a stretch stitch on your regular machine or a serger.
Begin by forming your belt ties. Fold them in half along the length with the faces together, stitch along one of the short sides and long raw edge. Flip right side out, press, and set them aside for the time being.
Sew each of your darts by following the guidelines on your pattern pieces. Sew your back pant legs together at the rise and attach them to the back bodice panel at the waistband.
Attach the front bodice pieces to the back at the shoulder seams and then sew one of your collar pieces at the neckline. Face the collar and front lapels.
Sew your front pant panels together at the rise and attach to your short bodice panel at the waistline. Sew that same side seam from armscye to hem, placing one of your belt ties into the seam at the waistline.
Hem the raw remainder of your pants waistline, like you see below.
Now, sew your other side seam from armscye to hem, sandwiching your overlay in between your two pant leg panels.
Face the pant part of your overlay, like you see below, and hem your pant legs.
Sew your second belt tie at the waistline point of your jumpsuit overlay.
Form each of your upper sleeves and set them into your armscyes, lining up your notches.
Hem the bottom curved edge of your sleeve flounces and then pin each to the bottom of your sleeves, overlapping the flat portion toward the outer edge of your sleeves.

Lovely garment. Wish your patterns were paper as well as downloads.
This looks like a vogue pattern, its so gorgeous!
Can You juse Crepe fabric..?
Yes, a crepe would look lovely!
This may seem like a silly question (beginner at apparel sewing) are the yardage recommendations for all sizes from 2-30 or will the larger sizes need more fabric
Hi Thalia! I used 5 yards for a size 20. You may want to get an extra yard if you’re making a larger size.
Would I still need darts if using a PONTE knit?
Hi Kim! We used a ponte knit and included darts.
Hi! I want to know if patterns include seam allowance.
Hi Yelena! Our patterns include a 1/2″ seam allowance unless otherwise stated.
please will you do a tutorial 9n how to Assemble your patterns. by the way thanks for all the work you do
Hi! Can we use non-stretch fabric with this pattern? for example I’m thinking of using a satin material
Hi, Page! I definitely recommend a stretch fabric for this pattern, but you could try sizing up to accommodate for a non-stretch material. I’d try a mock-up first though, in order to test the fit!
Is there a tutorial to this?
Hi Angel, 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: while at this time we do not offer video tutorials for our free patterns, this jumpsuit was recently reduxed using a polyester mikado.
Could this be done in a chiffon? I can’t wear the thicker fabrics….
Yes
