Download the template, then print out and follow the cutting guide. Apply fusible interfacing to the wrong side of the front facing and the back neck facing. Sew the facings together at the shoulder seam and press open. Finish the outside edge of the facing with an overlocker, or turn and stitch a narrow hem. Mark the placement position of the casing on the front and back pieces using tailor’s chalk or a fabric marker pen. With right sides together, pin and sew the centre back seam. Trim the seam and neaten the edge, then press.

Trim and neaten the seam edge, then press. Pin and sew the centre front seam to the marked dot, right sides together. Cut and neaten the seam edge, then press.

With right sides together and matching up the centre back and the notches, pin and sew the facing to the neck edge on the front and back. End the stitching at the marked dot on the front of the jumpsuit. Sew across the end of the front facing, trim the seam and press. Cut the seam and snip the curved edge of the back neck facing. Understitch the facing and press towards the wrong side of the jumpsuit. Sew the end of the front facing in place over the centre front seam.

Overlap the front and mark, then sew the buttonholes on the front facing. Secure the buttons, checking that the front facing stays flat when fastened.

Neaten the seam edge, then press the pocket seam away from the jumpsuit. Pin the front and back together at the side seam from the underarm to the start of the pocket, then around the pocket and down to the hem.

Stitch from the underarm to the top of the pocket, then sew past it by 1.5cm. Sew around the pocket, then stitch 1.5cm above the top to the hem. To allow the pocket to fold towards the front smoothly, clip from the edge to the side seam stitching. Trim and neaten the edge, then press. Fold the pocket towards the front and press into position.
