I’m a new to sewing garments and have loads to learn. Sanctuary is my first non-circle skirt garment. I loved the video tutorial. I highly recommend it for other newbies. This actually my mockup, but it came out so cute I’m going to wear it! I can’t wait to get started on my linen version.

I'm a curvy girl and the Sanctuary looks good even on me! I made mine in purple/grey linen. I extended the back center by 1 1/2" on each side to give myself a wider overlap for the single button closure so the back did not show my bra. That worked like a charm. I made mine with even larger pockets....I really love huge pockets :) So comfortable and striking. Love it!

I loved making this jumpsuit!I've been sewing for a long time but this pattern was somewhat challenging and stretched my skills just the right amount. I made it in the light indigo in the full length version. I used some Indian block print from my stash for the pockets and the neck binding and button loop.I found a vintage button with a low shank that I used rather than the shell button I ordered. I I also hacked the placement of the elastic a bit - by making the bodice a little shorter and the legs a little longer so the elastic casing was actually made from the legs rather than the bodice.I don't like anything around my waist-the result made me look like I have long legs-for the first time in my life. I also cut the iron on tag in half so the washing instructions are on the inside but I loved the evolution part of the design and ironed it on to one of the front leg panels so it could be seen. I may go back later and add some embroidery around it. I think I'll try the short version next. The directions and fabric were perfection! The little girl in one of the photos is my granddaughter and I made her dress too! Thank you for creating this beautiful comfortable and flattering pattern.

(hi friends! It's Leah from Charlie Darwin-- I'm testing out this new photo gallery feature!) For my jumpsuit, I used 100% linen, in undyed white. I definitely had to make a few samples before I got to this final design that was ready for everyone to wear! I show behind-the-scenes of my iterations in this youtube video, if you're interested!: https://youtu.be/hK7wvP3NhSU
Next time I make this, I want to try doing some color blocking on the pants and bodice, and/or add some tassles to the seams of the pant legs for some extra drama!
