Comfort is the new chic and I’m here for it!! Jumpsuits and rompers are garments that I feel will always stand the test of time. As we head into Spring and Summer, I live for outfits that I can pull-on, accessorize and go about my day in. The Perilla Jumpsuit is perfect for your casual garment needs! Although this jumpsuit has an elastic waist, we’ve added a cute belt pattern that looks absolutely stunning in faux leather! I used Mood Fabrics’ amazing two-toned orange and fuchsia linen and there are so many beautiful colors to choose from. You could also try using one of Moods cotton chambray fabrics as another great option. This outfit is perfect for brunch or a day party. Let us know how you plan on styling your Perilla Jumpsuit!
Purchase Materials Used Below:
- 4 yards of Sanremo Orange and Fuchsia Linen
- 5 pcs of Orange Iridescent Plastic buttons
- 1 Spool of Coral Rose 250 Gutermann sew all thread
- MDF127 – The Perilla Jumpsuit Sewing Pattern (free download below!)
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.
Here’s how to sew:
Tip: French seams work nicely when sewing linen.
Step 1
First, fold back the placket at center fronts, press, and top stitch. For a wider placket, you could cut and sew it as a separate piece.
Step 2
After you attach your fronts to the back at the side and shoulder seams, you can attach your collar. Make sure to press your collar nice and crisp. For tips on sewing a standing collar click here.
Step 3
Pin sleeves to bodice and stitch.
Step 4
Now set the bodice aside to work on the pant.
Pin the open pockets to pant fronts as shown. Stitch pockets along the curve of the pocket opening. Turn and press along this curve. Then, fold the pocket in half to create the pocket bag. Stitch along the bottom and base stitch at the top and side seam of pocket.
Step 5
Pin the pant fronts together at the center front seams and do the same for the backs.
Step 6
Finish the pant by pining and stitching along the inseam and side seams. Press all seams.
Pin the bodice to the pant at the waist and stitch. Now you are going to attach the casing to the inside.
First, stitch the casing pieces together at the side seams. Pin casing to the inside of the waist attaching it to the seam allowance.
Step 7
Press up the seam allowance on the opposite end of the casing. Topstitch along the casing to close it, but leave a small 2-3″ opening to insert your elastic.
Step 8
Use a safety pin to guide your elastic through the casing then stitch both ends of the elastic closed. Slip stitch your casing opening closed and press to finish.
Step 9
Finish by hemming your pant cuffs and sleeve cuffs. Add your buttons and you’re done!

Hi Shavonne,
I made this in a dark green-blue linen-like fabric. Absolutely love it! I had a little difficulty lining up the 2 piece collar, but all turned out fine. Thank you for the beautiful pattern. I think I will make it again, but will use seersucker for a fun summer jumpsuit.

i am in the process of completing this. on my last few steps. the collar was very hard to figure out at first, since its my first time ever doing a standing collar, but it was indeed successful. the other thing i have to say is great is the sleeves. i actually got them right too! i decided to extend the length of the legs though because im not keen on shorts, so i made it long leg. i am using a lightweight polyester in a beautiful paisley pattern. i am THRILLED that its coming out so well!
What height is this designed for please?
Hi Elise, 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: Unfortunately we don’t have finished garment measurements for our older patterns. The jumpsuit legs are design to fall to your mid-calf.
