I am back with another tutorial for the Qualicum jumpsuit and this one is a fun two for one tutorial. With a few steps you are left with two separate garments that are fun to wear together or even mixed and matched with other garments in your closet.
When sewing this tutorial I went for the long pants and sleeveless top but the tutorial works for any of the views, in fact I already have a pair of shorts with inseam pockets planned. The possibilities are endless.
The sign of a great pattern is the ability to reimagine it in new and different ways. What I didn’t expect when working on this pattern hack of the Qualicum jumpsuit though, was for the finished garment to be such a difference from the original pattern. Who knew 3 changes would result in what might be my new favourite garment.
The first change I made to the pattern was to switch out the button placket for a zipper. Small change that has big impact, plus I think it adds a bit of oomph to the garment. You need a 20″ zipper for this step.
Introducing my newest pattern two years in the making, the Qualicum Jumpsuit.
Qualicum is a relaxed fit woven jumpsuit available in 3 different views. The jumpsuit features front button placket, two oversized pockets, and beautiful inside finishes. Sew it with or without sleeves and a choice of three different lengths.
Qualicum is designed to be oversized with a positive ease of 4″ through the bust, 14″ through the waist, and 5″ through the hips. As with my other patterns, it is drafted for a height of 5’9″ and provides you with either a B or D sewing cup.
When I created the Meadowood I knew it would be a four seasons top for me, I can already picture it with shorts and sandals this summer, but I am getting ahead of myself. Let’s talk winter styling, or more appropriately, layering the Meadowood.
Meadowood has a dolman sleeve which can make layering tricky if there isn’t enough room through the sleeves. But since it is such a floaty top it lends itself well to floaty oversized layers. I started to realize a few weeks ago that I have a few patterns in my collection that actually pair really well with it, and I didn’t even remember until I got cold one day while wearing one.
