Let’s get started!

SEWING THE JUMPSUIT
THE BODY
Make it stand out
The first step is to cut two hands of the T-Shirt.

Then, draw a straight line right under the neck and cut along that line.

Also, cut the T-shirt into two pieces—one for the front and one for the back of the jumpsuit.
Make it stand out
For the front piece, fold it in half and start drawing the pattern.

Draw a straight line 3 cm away from the border.

At the end of the border line, go up 6 cm and draw a curved line to connect it to the straight line.
Make it stand out
From the top of the straight line, go down 17 cm and mark there.

From the border, go inside 13 cm and mark another point.

Then, connect the two marks with a curved line.

Then, draw from the second mark to the end of the T-shirt.

Cut along the drawn lines to create the front body of the jumpsuit.
Make it stand out
Repeat a similar process for the back body, adjusting the curve line for the legs (inside 5 cm from the border).
Make it stand out
Make sure the width of the legs is 1/4 of your hip size plus 4 cm or bigger.
Make it stand out
Then, overlock the pattern to protect the cutting.

Sew the two pieces of the back jumpsuit together at the crotch line.

For the front, keep 13 cm open from the top and sew the rest of the crotch line.
Make it stand out
Fold the fabric inside at the top of the front and sew to close the open area.
Make it stand out
Sew the hand areas similarly for both front and back.
Make it stand out
At the top of the jumpsuit, fold the fabric inside 2 cm to create a small hole to put the band inside later.
THE POCKET
Make it stand out
Next, create pockets using fabric from the T-shirt sleeves. Draw a rectangle with a width of 16 cm.
Make it stand out
Then, add an arc line to one edge.
Make it stand out
Cut along the arc to form the pocket shape, and don’t forget to overlock the edges.
Make it stand out
Position the pockets approximately 34 cm from the jumpsuit’s end, right around the belly button area.
Make it stand out
Pin the pockets to both the front and back pieces, then sew them in place.
Make it stand out
Now, connect the front and back pieces at the sides, sewing through the pockets and crotch.
Make it stand out
To create the pocket bottoms, leave a 13 cm opening and sew the remaining fabric to the end.
Make it stand out
Measure 7 cm up from the pocket tops and draw a straight line—this will be where you attach the elastic band.
Make it stand out
Measure the length of the elastic band to fit your upper belly.
Make it stand out
Then, sew it to the jumpsuit at both sides.
Make it stand out
Finally, thread the band through the small hole at the top of the jumpsuit.
Make it stand out
Instead of using a fabric band, consider using a macrame rope for a unique touch.

Voilà! And I've finished this DIY. Here's my final transformation!
This jumpsuit is very cute and comfortable. It's also one of the reasons why I love jumpsuit. The macramé rope and the pockets make it so sporty.
