Sew & Tell Winner — March 2026
Jumpsuit/Flight Suit Par Excellence Love Love Love this standout version of a jumpsuit - the maker refers to it as her version of a flight suit. In her own words, 'I made this from your Genji Stretch Denim using the Closet Core Patterns Blanca No. 22. I added belted ankles and patches of vintage reclaimed kimono fabrics (chest, center back and shoulder badges). I feel like 'Top Gun' in this!' 'I fell in love with the idea of a 'Top Gun' flight suit with my own spin. I used pieces of vintage kimono fabrics for appliques on the center back, shoulder patches and chest badges. I added extra pockets for my phone and wallet.' 'I've been sewing for myself since I was about twelve (over 50 years!) and have pursued embellishment techniques including silk painting, ribbon embroidery, stenciling, foiling (saw a tutorial you did!), weaving, dyeing, quilting - basically anything I can do to make something more unique to my style. Yvonne Porcella (painting and dyeing fabric) and Natalie Chanin are inspirations, as are your own patterns (V8876, V8813 and V9035), Lynn Mizono (v1312) and Tina Givens.' Marcy says, I love this piece - for several reasons, it is creative, fun, an unexpected blend of fabric and style, and what takes it over the top is the beautifully executed craftsmanship!'
