A game of plaid matching!

This is the @deer_and_doe_patterns Sirocco Jumpsuit (size and fabric details below) - and man oh man is this the garment that has taken me the longest ever to cut out. I was so careful!

Deer and Doe reached out to me and asked if I would try making the Sirocco as it's their first pattern that is going to be released in their expanded size range (disclaimer: they did offer me money to do this). The pattern releases on Monday and I think it's going to be a hit! The expanded sizes go to a 60" hip, and the proportions are great! Really well adjusted to match how a fatter body is shaped.

The fit: basically awesome. The crotch curve is great. The waist is in the right spot (and higher than on the straight sizes) and accommodates the typically higher waist of plus sized folks.

This was my first garment I made using my new Babylock serger/coverstitch combo and I chickened out sewing all the seams directly using the serger. Instead, I used the lightening bolt stitch on my sewing machine and finished the seams with the serger. My mistake here is I should have used the stretcher wide/long zig zag if I wanted to sew on the sewing machine first. The lightening bolt isn't stretchy enough around the top of the neck and I've popped stitches a couple of times getting my arms into the sleeves and the jumpsuit up onto my shoulders. Lesson learned - use the stretchiest stitch you can find for the neckband!

I used techno crepe for the fabric - it was great to work with! If you decide to make this the fabric stretch requirements are not a joke! I cannot imagine doing this with a stiff knit.

Pattern: #DDSirocco from @deer_and_doe_patterns
Size: 58 graded to 60 for the waist and hips.
Fabric: techno crepe from @surgefabricshop

61 new or re-released sewing patterns came out in

61 new or re-released sewing patterns came out in the month of October and they all fit at least a 60" (152.4cm) hip! Six designers were also added to the Designer Database this month!

I'm a little behind schedule this go around - I typically like to post the roundup by the 7th of the month (because who wants to wait even longer to see the new patterns?!) but it was for the great cause of the #SewingCPD Challenge! Thank you to everyone who participated and showed me some love as the CPD turned one last week!

What pattern catches your eye this month?
