Hello Loves!
I'm excited to share this super easy jumpsuit with you! I hacked view B of Simplicity 8255 with the sleeves from view D of McCalls 7721.
It's a really simple jumpsuit that can be customized in many different ways. I figured sleeves were the simplest way to add a little jazz to the jumpsuit. I believe I was correct. The sleeves definitely made a huge impact.
I made this the day before Thanksgiving in about 4 hours...from fabric prep to last stitch. It took me 1 hour to choose the perfect pattern for a cute comfy outfit. I actually wanted to do this month's Sew Your View, but I've lost the pattern. :( Maybe it will show up soon. Then, it took me half an hour to find the right sleeve hack for the pattern. Once I had the combo right, I knew perfect comfy fabric. Sweatshirt fleece is so comfy and with a little stretch its perfect.
I had to make some alterations:
To attach the two sleeves together, I followed the directions for M7721. It was very simple!
I really like it and see lots of styling possibilities!
What do you think? You can also check out my pattern review on PatternReview.com.
Until next time, Smooches!

I had to make some alterations:
- My hips make jumpsuits a fitting struggle but I dare not complain. I love my curves.
- I graded from a sixteen to an eighteen. There was still a significant gap in the back, so I had to add 2 6" darts at the waist in the back. That really helped.
- I also doubled the sleeve cuff. I just like a bigger cuff.
