My granddaughter wants a jumpsuit (like a leotard with legs). I have some stretchy velvet material but have been unable to find a pattern. I have bought Simplicity 5944 which includes a leotard and a pair of trousers with the idea that I might combine the two at the waist to make the jumpsuit. The trousers are supposed to be for knits only and have an elasticated waist, and the leotard is for stretch knits. Can anyone tell me whether they think this would work. I am reasonably competent with the sewing machine, but not used to adapting patterns very much.
