DIY: Jumpsuit or Co-Ord Set
I’ve been dreaming up this garment for quite a while now and am so happy with how it’s turned out! It’s a co-ord set that has the versatility to be styled separately otherwise worn together where it looks like a jumpsuit.
It's a super cute wardrobe essential that features a shirred/smocked tube top section with puffy sleeves and gathered, high waisted shorts. I'm obsessed with this piece and hope you like it too!
Put aside at least a day or two to make this full set/jumpsuit as it can take a bit of time depending on your skillset :)

A lightweight material (suggested amount below)
Elastic for waistband and arms (suggested amount below)
Matching thread & bobbin
Shirring thread & bobbin
