Is there anything more comfortable than a loose fit jumpsuit? I have loved overalls my whole life and have had many pairs over the years. I think I’m ready to trade in all my jean overalls for good though with this new linen jumpsuit. It’s so comfy I think looks pretty cute too. I’m super excited to share this free sewing pattern with you and hope you will enjoy it as much as I do!

I’ve been eyeing buying a jumpsuit like this for several months, but then decided to make one! {Making is almost always better than buying anyway!} When I was contact by Fabric Wholesale Direct about doing a project with their Natural Linen I knew right away this was what I was going to sew.
This turned out so cute right?? I love it so much. I actually think for a loose fitting garment that this a pretty flattering, AND it’s so comfy!!
If you don’t have anything made of linen in your closet you need to sew this now. It’s so super soft and actually so comfy. Of course you can create this look with other fabrics as well, but I’m loving the linen look.
The three pockets on the front are my favorite, but the back is pretty great too. I think I wish I would have angled out the back straps {slightly} so I’ll talk about that in the tutorial and make that correction myself next time. This free jumpsuit sewing pattern actually sews up pretty quickly and I think you are going to love it.
Sewing pattern for womens jumpsuit
- Natural Woven Linen – I used the royal blue from this link.
- You need 2.5 yards for sizes xxs-m and 3.5 yards for l-xxxl
- Free Jumpsuit sewing pattern
- Serger {optional}
- Sewing machine
Ok! let’s talk about sizing before we jump into sewing. This pattern you can make with ONLY your hip measurement, unless your waist is bigger than your hips. They go with the larger size. I fell right in the center of the M size range for this and it fits perfectly. If I were at the top of the size range I think I would want to size up to keep the looser fit.
Likewise, if you are the bottom of the size range or right between sizes you can choose to size up or down depending on the looseness you want for your jumpsuit. The size chart is on the pattern pieces, but I’m posting it here as well.
Download and print the pattern. If you need help with downloading and assembling your pdf pattern check out this pdf pattern use tutorial. This is what the pages should look like when assembled together.
There are markings on the pattern to length or shorted both the top and bottom. This pattern is perfect for 5’3″-5’7″ but if you are long legged or long waisted you will need to length either the top or bottom.
How to sew a Jumpsuit
Ok! let’s get sewing. Cut out the front and back of the jumpsuit so you have four main pieces. You also need to cut the smaller pieces, the pockets and straps.
note: all raw edges will need to be finished with a serger or zig-zag stitch.
Sew the two front pieces together with right sides together along the front center seam. Do the same with the back center seam.
Finish the triangle shaped tops of the front and back. If you have a serger you will serge the edges, then press back 1/4″ along the sides, repeat so the edge is fully enclosed. Then fold the top flat edge down 1″ and press. If you don’t have a serger, use a zig-zag stitch to finish all the edges.
Sew the sides with a straight stitch and also sew the top hem as well.
Finish all three pocket edges with a serger or zig-zag, then fold and press the sides back 1/4″ and the top down 1″.
Sew the top edge down to finish the top edge. Leave all the other edges just pressed back.
Fold the top pocket in half and place it on the center front seam. Measure 3″ down from the top and the pin the three sides of the pocket in place. Make sure to keep the seam allowance folded back.
Sew the three sides in place to secure the pocket.
Now for the two bottom pockets. Measure 5″ down from the top pocket and 2.5″ in from the side for each pocket.
Pin them on the three sides, again keeping the seam allowance folded back. Sew the pockets in place.
Pin/clip and then sew the side seams and inseam of the jumpsuit.
Finish the bottom edge of the legs and then fold back a 3/4″ hem and sew.
Sew the straps together on the long side and one short end, then turn the straps back to the right side through the open end. Need help turning tubes of fabric? Try this tutorial.
Take the two shorter straps and fold them into a loop. Sew the loops to the sides of the jumpsuit front. I sewed a square around to secure, then trimmed the extra fabric on the inside of the front.
Here you can see the trimmed front loops. For the back fold under the raw end of the long strap, then pin the straps on the edge of the back. NOTE: I would angle these out slightly for a a better fit. You can see on the photos of me wearing this that a slight outward slant would be better.
The final step is to take in the waist just slightly to keep it from being to boxy. If it fits well with out this step then skip. Try on the jumpsuit and tie the top straps in a comfortable place. Then pinch the sides by your waist and see if taking in an inch or so would help the shape. I took an inch from both sides, then angled the stitch back to the side seam. It’s hard to see in the photo but my thumb is pointing to where I started the stitches, then I eased back to the side seam about 5″ down.
And you did it!! Enjoy wearing your awesome jumpsuit and please share photos on socials! Can’t wait to see.
