Hey everyone! This tutorial will take you through how to make an Overalls Jumpsuit from Scratch. I used an old duvet cover (100% cotton) to make this. No pattern needed and it's beginner friendly! If you're ready to sew with me, let's get into it!

Fold Fabric

I folded my fabric so that I have enough for a 13" width. The length is 44", I'm making use of the entire length

Then I marked 3 inches inwards at the top of the folded edge

Then marked 5inches inwards from the other end

Plot Crotch Measurement

Then I measured from where the jumpsuit will sit on my chest to my crotch, mine is 22inches. Then I marked that on the folded edge

Connect measurements

Then I connected the 3 inches measurement at the top to the crotch measurement. Making sure to curve the crotch area.

Plot measurement

On the non folded edge, I marked 11 inches downwards

Connect measurements

Then connected that in a straight line to the 5inches mark I did earlier

Leg Area of Jumpsuit

Moving to the bottom part of the jumpsuit - I marked 5 inches inwards from the folded edge

Final step

Then I connected the 5 inches mark to the tip of the crotch area. This is the final step for the front piece

Cut Pattern

Then I proceeded to cutting out my front pattern

Back Piece

For the back pattern, the width is different by half an inch - to allow extra half an inch for the back crotch area. The length is the same.

This is what I did for the back pattern




  1. At the top, on the folded edge I marked in 3.5 inches
  2. Then I marked crotch measurement which is 22 inches
  3. Then I connected the two measurements just like the front piece

Then I marked 11 inches downwards and connected this to the 6inches point.

Cut back pattern

At the bottom, I make 5.5 inches inwards from the folded edge and connected this to the crotch - just like I did for the front piece. After this, then I cut out the back pattern,

Sew From Top to Crotch Area

Once I finished cutting the patterns, I then pinned the jumpsuit pieces from the top to the crotch and then sew. Repeat for the second piece.

Hem Pinafore Area

Then I opened up the pieces and hemmed the pinafore area of the jumpsuit- both front and back

Add Pocket

Then I added a pocket to the front piece

Pin Front and Back Together

Then I pinned the front and pack piece together, at the side seams and the crotch. Then I sewed everything together.

Hem Legs

Then I hemmed the legs and attached straps.

Straps Added

Straps are 15 inches long
