Pleated Playsuit Pattern

Thursday, May 30, 2013



Comfortable, casual, yet sophisticated, one-piece playsuit in either shorts or ankle-length.  Its shoulder ties and elasticized waist allow for a custom fit.  The side slant pockets with contrast lining that give the illusion of piping, and pleated front detail, make this playsuit one-of-a-kind.  The leg is slightly gathered into cuffs for a flattering fit.


The Pleated Playsuit Pattern includes:
  •  34 page PDF document (5.1MB) with full colour photographs and instructions
  • numbered, step-by-step instructions
  • prints on both standard 8.5X11" and A4 paper
  • includes both imperial and metric measurements
  • full-size pattern pages 
  • seam allowances included
  • no serger needed
  • sizes 12 months to 9 years
  • fabric recommendations & requirements, notions, sizing chart
In order to simplify the drafting and digitizing process, the bodice front & back and facing are all on one pattern piece, as are the pocket and pocket lining.  It is recommended to trace each piece separately before cutting your fabric.  Refer to the coloured diagrams on the pattern pages iv and vii for reference.




This is a complimentary pattern in appreciation for all the wonderful supporters who have been following me along my sewing/designing journey here at E&E.  I sincerely thank you all for your kindness, encouragement, and support!  This pattern is my gift to you!

    Thank you so much! I am completely obsessed with your bubble pocket shorts, and can't wait to make this romper. So stinkin' cute!! I'm working on potty training my daughter, so, I may try and make a skirt instead of shorts. This pattern will definitely become one of my favorites. I am so excited to play around with fabrics and linings. I absolutely love the faux piping detail on the pockets. And pockets! My daughter in only interested in anything with pockets these days. Perfect! Thank you!!!!!

      Hello
      I saw the one you made it came out really cute!! I've been having problems with mine. Can you help me please? I'll greatly appreciated. On the pattern it shows 4 pants patterns two of them says "front pants" the other "back pants" and the other two don't have anything. Should I disregard those? I'm making a size 2-3y when I cut my patter the chest part comes out really small plus the design on the front makes it even more smaller. Is this normal? i'm pretty sure i'm making something wrong. Please help!

    I was wondering if anyone who has made this might be able to help me out. I seem to be having troubles finding the right pieces to cut out for the 12 month size. I'm really new to sewing and I'm quite confused. The pieces I'm having problems with are the Pant front and pant back (have traced and cut out the bodice pieces + interfacing and pockets/lining). I can't seem to make the look like the example on page 3.

    Sorry for my noobyness :(
