Hello lovely and creative hivers, welcome to my blog.
It gives me great pleasure to have you stop by, as I share my creative process with you guys, and today I will be sharing with us the making process of the jumpsuit I made for my niece.
Children are great gifts to us parents, and the joy they bring when they come into our world knows no bounds, my little niece is an adorable little girl and has been with me for the summer break, she always pays keen interest whenever I'm making new dresses, particularly when I cut that I wonder if she knows what I'm doing.😂
During one of my sewing sessions, I promised to make her a jumpsuit,
I've been very busy with my workload lately which has made me not fulfill my promise in a while, I feel bad about it, and you know children don't forget when you promise them something, it's better to not tell them and just surprise them, so they don't have to remind you constantly. I'm glad I'm able to fulfill this promise of mine finally and put a smile on my niece's face.

Cutting and Sewing Process
Step 1
I started by drafting and cutting out the upper part of the jumpsuit for both front and back alongside its facing for turning the necklines
Step 2
I drafted and cut out the lower part of the jumpsuit, it is a trouser pattern
Step 3
I joined the upper front to the lower front trouser part and also did the same to the back
Step 4
I Joined both front and back by the shoulders, also turned the necklines, and using a strip of the fabric in folds, I made box pleats around the armhole.
Step 5
Finally, I joined the front and back by the sides and crotch area, adding a zipper at the back, elastic around the hem, and glittering trimming around the waistline.
My little niece's jumpsuit is ready.
Tada! ✨
