Sew With Me – M7936 Jumpsuit – Using Ankara Cotton Fabric

Hello Beautiful People,

Spring has arrived in Minneapolis, where I live. Last week’s temperatures were in the 60s and 70s Fahrenheit, which I appreciated. You wouldn’t believe it’s back to 40 degrees and snowing.

I made this jumpsuit few years ago, probably during COVID. I used the McCalls pattern M7936 for this jumpsuit. If you follow me on YouTube link here you would have seen it.

I did a little bit of adjustment to it:

I added one inch to the shoulder and extended the sleeve an inch with a flap that I rolled up.
I added 1 inch and half to the jumpsuit. I added it in the mid section so it could extend the crotch.
I also added an inch to the seam allowance.
I added pockets

I like the jumpsuit a lot and I will be making another one, probably a 3/4 length.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today

Xoxo

30Mins Ankara Reversible Bonnet

BiKé ©

Hello lovely people, it’s been a while. I’ve been very busy since I’m back in school. I may have mentioned in my previous post about my search for a good Public Health college.

Well, I decided to enroll for an MPH program at the School of Public Health at the University I work for. I did my research and found out they’re one of the best Public Health Colleges in the US. That’s why I’ve been MIA. You can follow my journey on my other website www.bikeojomo.com. Oh, I also wrote a book that I will be excited to talk about later. Here is the link to the book on Amazon.

I made this bonnet a few months ago. It’s a reversible bonnet with silk at the reverse side and I used this beautiful remnant African print Ankara fabric I have in my stack of fabrics. I did a tutorial while making it and uploaded the video to my youtube channel. Here is the link to the YouTube video.
