How to Quickly & Easily Make a Long Sweater Into a Cute Jumpsuit
Did you know you can make a sweater jumpsuit with a few easy modifications? All you need is a lengthy, oversized sweater for this fantastic DIY romper transformation. It’s definitely a trendy twist to the classic romper style.
So, if you want to know how to sew your own romper the easy way, then I’ve got you covered. Let’s begin!
Tools and materials:
- Sweater
- Scissors
- Sewing machine
- Matching thread
- Pins
- Fitted dress
- Zipper
1. Make the DIY romper pattern
Lay your sweater out flat and place a dress on top. Make sure this is one of your best-fitting dresses, as this will get the measurements and shape right. Next, cut the sides, starting at the waistline.
Do not cut the sweater all the way down to the bottom; leave the bottom bit attached as this will be for the shorts (see the next step).
For the bottom part, cut a v-shape in the center.
2. Sew the sides
Now, flip the sweater inside out and stitch the raw edges on the sides.
3. Attach a zipper
Grab a zipper, place it along the center-back, and cut the middle according to the zipper’s length.
Unzip the zipper and align the left and right sides of the zipper to the left and right sides of the open sweater. Fold the raw edges of the sweater onto the zipper’s sides by about ½ an inch, pin, and sew to secure.
4. Sew the crotch area
While the sweater is still inside out, go ahead and sew the crotch area.
