Join Lulu Ferris to watch the complete class and sew along at your own pace.
What you’ll make
The Byron is a loose jumpsuit with a V-neckline, matching V-back, shoulder ties, wide legs, and optional in-seam pockets.
Make the full-length version or shorten the legs for a warm-weather romper. Wear the relaxed shape alone or layer it over a short- or long-sleeve top.
What you’ll learn in this class
- Stabilize curves, diagonal edges, and center seams.
- Sew optional in-seam pockets.
- Finish the V-neck and V-back with narrow bindings.
- Join the side seams, pocket curves, and inseam.
- Extend the armscye binding into shoulder ties.
- Check and finish your chosen leg length.
Fabric and materials
The Byron can be sewn in woven or knit fabric. The samples use woven viscose and viscose knit in solid and printed versions.
Lightweight woven fabric may need support along curves and diagonal edges. A heavier knit benefits from stabilized center seams so the rise does not stretch downward.
Knit fabric can lengthen under its own weight. Filled pockets may pull a knit version downward, so the class suggests omitting them when appropriate.
Make it your own
Choose long legs or set your own shorts length. The class sample was cut 9 cm below the crotch, but the instructor recommends adjusting it to your preference.
Add the in-seam pockets or omit them for a simpler knit version. Use the shoulder ties to adjust how the jumpsuit sits.
For a sleeved alternative, see the Kate Jumpsuit.
Sizing and finished length
The pattern covers paired sizes 34/36 through 54/56. The chart spans busts of 86–132 cm, waists of 64–110 cm, and hips of 90–136 cm.
The long jumpsuit’s listed total length ranges from 144 cm in size 34/36 to 154 cm in size 54/56.
