Jill, I did just this when I made my Evel Knievel jumpsuit, and I’m sure Jessica did the same with her Beat It jacket. Both are on the blog if you search for those key words.
To make it work I think you’ll need to take out the V though, as otherwise it would pull badly (and pucker at the bottom) when it’s closed. If you fill in the V part then you…[Read more] -

Thanks for the link Nicole. I am not going to line the sleeves, so I may go with your option #2. I’m excited to pull out this pattern – one of my favorites!

@Nicole We have to have a procedure for getting the jumprope on and off too. “Arms up to the skies!” is the mantra everytime!

Thanks for the head’s up! You can find it kind of on the down low on youtube – people are nice enough to upload it. You have to do some creative searching; hopefully, that will be the case again. I absolutely love the series!
