Durban is a mix and match jumpsuit pattern with lots of options to make your perfect one-piece. Choose from a V neck or round neckline; patch or inseam pockets; and tapered or wide leg cuts. You can also add interest by adding the optional belt and belt loops.

A whole outfit in one, the Durban jumpsuit is the key to effortless style. Wear it by itself or layer it over t-shirts and roll-necks in the cooler months. Or make the short romper version for summer!

For this kit we've chosen a lovely soft tencel denim which makes the jumpsuit easy to wear and means the fabric is simple to coordinate with. The tencel content of the denim adds a really luxurious feel to this fabric and gives it extra drape and movement. It also has a small amount of stretch to it giving a nice bit of added comfort. New to Tencel fibres? Check out this blog post explaining more information about it.

To get a great fit on your jumpsuit, Megan Nielsen's instructions include guidance on how to take measurements to ensure the body length is correct for you. Perfect if you're new to jumpsuit making!

We have included enough fabric in this kit to make the sleeveless views of the jumpsuit. If you would like to make the versions with sleeves then there is the option to purchase extra fabric - see the listing below for this.

Fabric

For this kit we've chosen a beautifully soft 10.4oz stretch denim, which is on the lighter side of mid-weight. It's available in two colours: light blue and mid blue.

To pair with each colour we've chosen two shades of metal buttons, from The Textile Garden.

Tencel is a more sustainable fibre as it is produced from eucalyptus trees, which are quick growing and need minimal pesticides. The fibres are extracted using a unique closed loop system which recovers and reuses the solvents used, minimising the environmental impact of production when compared to traditional production methods.

The fabric has a small elastane content, giving it 20% stretch across the cross grain and making it super comfy!

The composition of the fabric is 66% tencel, 23% polyester, 10% viscose, 1% elastane.
