Long Jumpsuits for Boys

Collars Pattern, "Will"

I wanted to add a post about my favorite jumpsuit pattern for little boys. When you sew, as many of you know, you are always on the search for a better pattern, so that when you make it the next time all will go smoother. Collars has a pattern that in my opinion, has the best jumpsuit. It is called "Will". If you follow their directions to the letter...and you will see what I mean as the turning of the lining gets really confusing...it turns out beautifully. When I invest my time I want it to be worth my effort, and this pattern proves worthy! The short jumpsuit is just as good. I love having something that works out for me every time and this pattern does. I have pictured it above.

I bought this cute trucks, tractors and cars print to line a corduroy jumpsuit for my grandson this fall. I have seen this done and I am going to try...there are so many cute jumpsuits with an applique on the front taken from the lining design. I hope to applique on the front of my grandson's jumpsuit a truck I cut out of the cloth pictured above and use it...such a simple idea that turns out so well. I have noticed that the appliques do not need to be polished and finished with a fat, thick zigzag stitch every time.....just a simple straight stitch done on the outer edge of the design suits just as well. I will send a picture as soon as I get it done!
