LISA BODYSUIT & TOP – PDF SEWING PATTERN

#BlpLisa

Lisa is a knit jersey bodysuit and top that features a single, wide, off-the-shoulder piece which starts at the centre back, wraps around the shoulders, and meets in a lower “V” neckline created by a single twist at the centre front with gathering at the side seams.

The internal shelf bra and the leg openings on the bodysuit are finished with a topstitched elastic.

The crotch of the bodysuit is closed with press-on snaps, and the bottom hem of the top is folded and topstitched.

Due to the nature of digital files, we do not accept returns on our PDF patterns or products.
