YOUR ALL-IN-ONE OUTFIT

Sew a relaxed jumpsuit or playsuit with the Alexa sewing pattern. Combining modern details with an easy-wearing silhouette, Alexa features a button-front bodice, curved V-neckline and blousy waist, gathered in with an external waist channel and tie for a comfortable, adjustable fit.

Choose a full-length jumpsuit with easy-fitting peg trousers or a playful playsuit for warmer days. Optional pleated flap pockets and rolled sleeve tabs add a utility-inspired finish, or leave them off to let a beautiful fabric take centre stage.

Wear your handmade Alexa with trainers for everyday adventures, sandals for sunny days or a cosy layer underneath when the temperature drops. And if you love a pocket, you can add your own using our FREE in-seam pocket sewing tutorial.

PATTERN FEATURES:

Two styles: full-length jumpsuit or playsuit
Button-front bodice
Curved V-neckline
Subtle forward shoulder seam
Blousy waist with external waist channel and tie
Easy-fitting peg-style trousers on the jumpsuit
Optional pleated flap pockets
Optional rolled sleeve tabs
