- Hello and thanks for watching my video! This episode is all about the wonderful Zadie Jumpsuit by Paper Theory. I've made quite a few of these now and thought it'd be fun to talk through them and the mods I made, plus what did/ didn't work.
I hope you enjoy this episode and find it useful if you're considering making the Zadie 😊

Thanks to @orchidsheart for the inspo! - Jak na to + styl
The "raspberry" color is really flattering on you. This is a really informative video, thanks!
Thank you for the inspiration with the Zadie and your experience sewing it! I’ve been thinking about making a zadie and you’ve given me inspiration to do so!
Ah lovely! I hope you enjoy it if you give it a go ☺️
Thanks for sharing I really enjoyed hearing about all your different versions. I would love another similar video on the zero waste gather dress as it is another pattern I have had my eye on for a while 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll do a ZWGDc one soon then ☺️
I’m about to order this , I was a bit nervous about sewing it ( only been sewing a year ) but after watching your video I’m going to give it a go , thank you 😊
@@threadandyarnid love to make the ZWGD also but it looks very complicated with no pattern , I wouldn’t know where to start 🤔
@@nicolagriffiths3077 it can be a bit complicated to understand at first, but it's great once it starts making sense! I run workshops on it locally, but I might speak to the designer to see if she'd be happy with me doing an online one for those a bit further away :)
Yes, I liked this video and would love to see a similar one for the zero waste gather dress.
Great! I'll definitely make one then ☺️
Like your zadie jumpsuits, especially the salmon coloured one, you really suit that colour. I've still to make mine. Pattern sitting waiting. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks! Good luck with your Zadie ☺️
Interesting video of your Zadie suits. After seeing you wear the Winter Hymn suit, I think that it looks fine on you. The dropped crotch effect is not that noticeable but is something that “Mimi” from “Simplicity’s Mimi Makes patterns” suggests doing in her book, just for comfort and it has been fashionable to have that slight drop crotch…..historical trousers/bloomer/Eastern trousers all have that drop crotch. The first lilac suit you wear, does seem a bit tight in the rear when you model it. It might be just the thin fabric, but there is a ‘vpl’ on rear view which is not seen in the Winter hymn. Just my opinion, but I’d leave the Winter hymn version except maybe adding some pockets.
I have made two jumpsuit and one dress from the pattern and have plans for more, such a brilliant easy to wear outfit
It really is! I wear mine so often.
I love your Zadie's collection😍 I'm finally about to make my first version also from M&M 185 linen (in colourway Goodnight) as the pattern and fabric was waiting much too long. Thank you for sharing all your astuces!
Ooh good luck with you first Zadie! It sounds lovely 😍
Thanks for sharing all your Zadies! This was very helpful, and I really got inspired to make my third Zadie for the upcoming summer! ☀️
Ah lovely! Enjoy your next Zadie ☺️
That ditsy print dress version is everything! I just adore it. And the rustle you describe brings even more charm and presence to it. I don’t have this pattern but I should have it. Perfect to showcase a variety of cottons, viscose and prints 🥰
You should do a photo shoot in that dress with your chickens and we can all abandon ourselves to idyllic fantasyland lol x
I'd definitely recommend trying the pattern - like you say, you can show off a variety of fabrics, which can make each version feel very different. I'll see if I can get the chickens to behave at some point 😂
I really enjoyed this video. I've just got the Zadie pattern and am still deliberating on what fabric to use so seeing your Zadie collection has given me good ideas. I'm still a bit bemused that I'm contemplating wearing a jumpsuit but seeing them around everywhere has changed my outlook. So thank you for this.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It takes me a while to get used to wearing different styles too, but I find this jumpsuit so comfy it didn't take too long ☺️
I think I have been bitten by the Zadie bug! though its not quite as oversized on the overlap as I had hoped so I won't be wearing mine much longer until after the baby comes now :( (l love the the idea of a M&M linen zadie - esp the winter hymn check- it is one of my favourites- but with the hike in price, I am not sure that is gonna happen now!) (thanks for the mention :) )
Ah yes I meant to mention that - I made one for my Mum and was concerned about that section too. I added some snaps on the inside of the overlap to hold it in place, but there's still not loads of fabric/ease in that area. I do really love that winter hymn fabric. It's a big investment now though!
Thank you for this video, I loved watching it and am definitely inspired to make a Zadie!
Great! I'm pleased you enjoyed it and are going to try the pattern ☺️
I love all your Zadie's. I've made three and plan to make more x
Thank you! Glad you like the pattern too ☺️
Very cute outfits, and I think you did a great job changing the pattern to suit how you wanted the the jumpsuit and dress to work, will you have a video for me made may ? ❤
Thank you 😊 I'm not if I will this year, but I will do a general May/ spring update soon!
Thank you for sharing your zadies they are all beautiful in their own way. I have the pattern so you have inspired me to make one now. Your dress version is stunning you should wear it more often. I would like to say that you have the most amazing figure and such a beautiful voice xx
Thanks Louise, I think it is a lovely pattern to make and wear 😊 and thank you also for your kind words!
Thank you for sharing all of your Zadie’s. I’m about to make my first one so this roundup was really helpful. I love the ‘Little Women’ version 🥰
Your jumpsuits are all gorgeous, thank you for sharing! I was wondering, can you describe the difference between the Zadie wrap and the Etta wrap dress by Merchant and Mills? Since you made both? I am very interested in trying a Zadie dress but already have the Etta pattern and am unsure, how these two differ, apart from the obviously different sleeve cut, I mean. Thank you!
Thank you for this, I love this type of videos especially since I haven’t made a zadie yet, i like seeing the various fabric choices etc. Liz from ‘the baker who sews’ made the Indigo, the mystotis and Lyra dress numerous times and she grouped them together too ion her CZcams, which is a wonderful treat to watch. I am all for using a pattern multiple times.. my personal best so far is making BH zero waste cropped shirt four times haha. Would love to see you do a BH no waste gathered dress one too, or all your merchant and mills makes! So I can ooo and ahh at the fabric and patterns❤
Ooh thanks, I'll have to have a look at her video ☺️ I'll definitely do a ZWGD one too then!
Thank you for the video, it inspired me to try the Zadie as well. I have quite a difference in sizes between my waist and hips, so rtw jumpsuits never worked for me. So fingers crossed I make it work! 😊
Ah glad you enjoyed it ☺️ I hope it works for you and it's easy enough to grade between sizes :)
Good
😊
Thanks. A really useful video. I'm interested to know how much fabric you would recommend buying as you only mention how much was not really enough?
I'm glad it was useful ☺️ I think fabric amounts depend on the size you'd like to make, and also the fabric width. You could print the pattern pieces out, lay them on the floor so they're no wider that the fabric you're considering, and measure the length they take up?
Thank you for your video. The Zadie jumpsuit is clearly very popular. Have you ever had trouble with it gapping in the front below the waist? That has always been a concern for me when considering making this.
Yes I know what you mean. I haven't, but my Mum was a little worried about that, so I added some mini snaps to the inside when I made a version for her ☺️
