Black cotton jumpsuit

Do you remember how much I wanted to make harem pants? Well, I finally made it! plus top, so a jumpsuit! I'm so happy about the result. It goes well with my new sandals as well...:)

I've been using Jane pattern from Burdastyle a lot lately. For this jumpsuit, I lengthen the pants pattern so it comes right under my knees. Then, I gathered the pants hem using an elastic thread, and added a folded over band. For top, its an easy tube top with ruffle.

The strap was Andy's idea. He kept saying that he wanted a strap that looked like a choker. I had no idea what he was saying, but after he drew a picture (crappily), I had a better idea of what he was talking about. I'm glad that Andy and I could collaborate on this!
