Free sewing pattern and video tutorial to sew a comfortable jumpsuit skirt pants
We continue with ideas to make your own clothes for these holidays. On this occasion, we sew together a nice and comfortable jumpsuit skirt pants with a video tutorial and a free downloadable pattern. Last week we showed you how to sew a basic pinafore for the whole family, and this time Jenifer has given it a different touch by varying the straps and making it skirt-pants. To make it, he used a very original fabric, the soft knit gales from the miniME AW21 / 22 collection.
A comfortable and versatile pattern that you can use in any season of the year, varying the fabric you will have a totally different look. That is, if you use elastic fabrics to do it, we recommend the following: soft knit gales, soft French terry solid, knit corduroy, and recycled brushed jersey.

Recommendations
Before starting, we give you a series of recommendations:
- To sew the knitted fabric, it is better to use a stitch that allows the elasticity of the fabric.
- When using a knitted fabric, it is always better to use a specific needle for this type of fabric
- TIP: To sew the invisible zipper more easily, it is better to use a specific foot for this type of zipper.
Cutting and sewing the pinafore skirt-pants
Begin by cutting all the pieces of the jumpsuit. You should have 1 front piece cut to the back, 2 back pieces, 1 front view + 2 back views, 2 front armholes views + 2 back armhole views, 2 front pants pieces, 2 back pants pieces, and 1 skirt piece.
Body making
- The first thing you should do is sew the darts of the front and the back pieces.
- Join the front piece and the back pieces for the shoulders with a stitch that maintains the elasticity of the fabric. Do the same with the views of the neckline
- Sew the view of the neckline to the body with elastic stitching
- Stitch the two views of the armholes (joining front and back armholes) on the shoulders. Sew to the body with a topstitch.
- Join at the sides and at the back, leaving an opening for the zipper.
- Make the invisible zipper (in the video tutorial, you have some tricks to sew it more easily).
- Bring the views inside and sew with a straight stitch, so they don´t turn out.
