DIY: Leopard print jumpsuit to playsuit

This is the jumpsuit I bought at Goodwill on my birthday. I wasn't sure I was going to bring it home because of a noticeable sun spot on the pant leg. It was on the lower part of the leg so I knew I could make cropped or capri pants. After I chopped the damaged part, the cropped length made me look really short so I just kept cutting a bit at a time. Ended up in short shorts zone. Absolutely not for the playground, my friends.

Jumpsuit - Studio I (thrifted)
Red wedge sandals - Enzo Angolini (thrifted)

A closer look


Closer look at wolf bracelet. Look at the little tongue?


These are the before pictures.

You can see the spot in the mirror a little bit.

I think the yellow jumpsuit will end up with similar treatment. Stay tuned...

What do you think?

  16. Love the way V was hamming it up! :) Great redux with the jumpsuit-to-shorts transition, too. Wish I had sewing ability. I have nearly destroyed, to the point of needing a rescue, anything I've ever tried to sew.
