We've enjoyed celebrating our Durban Jumpsuit & romper pattern these last few weeks so much!! Every day we check the #MNdurban tag, and every day...more stunning makes appear! It's always so exciting to see, and we're so thrilled you're enjoying the pattern as much as we enjoyed making it!⁠
⁠
👇 Check out these incredible Durban makes from the sewing community! 👇⁠
⁠
@thestoryclubpdx Oh how we love Emily's Durban! She was one of our amazing testers and we're so thrilled she's loving the pattern long past the test period! Ps. Sewing room goals? Anyone? Anyone? 😍⁠
⁠
@coffee.clothes.repeat Stephanie's beautiful linen jumpsuit is such a wonderful summer staple. Cool and breezy. She's also made the cutest denim romper...be sure to check out her page for the details!⁠
⁠
@__stitchbitch__⁠ Durban is perfect for summer...BUT..if it's getting cold in your neck of the woods, take a page out of Noelle's book and layer up! It's actually a wonderful way to get a little cosier and still look super cool.⁠
⁠
@_buzylizzie Liz has used a beautiful Nerida Hansen fabric for her colourful, comfy Durban Jumpsuit complete with her own handmade buttons! Sparkly goodness, they're gorgeous!⁠
⁠
@fivespicepower⁠ Look at Jo's incredible Durban hack! She's added a mandarin collar, bishop sleeves and even added some volume to the legs. It's a technicolour dream jumpsuit! ⁠
⁠
@zoe_made_this Yes, this is a Durban...DRESS! Zoe has taken the bodice of Durban, removed the button placket and added a tiered skirt to create a super comfortable smock dress. Love it!⁠
⁠
@sew_much_sew⁠ Wendy is always sewing up the most comfortable of makes and her Durban is exactly that, a super stylish comfortable jumpsuit. Loving the make Wendy!⁠
⁠
@selfish_sewist Another incredible hack by Brandi! She's raised the neckline, added breast pockets, a zip fly (using her #MNdawn jeans pattern pieces and instructions) and some incredible topstitching! So cool!⁠
⁠
@sewmanju⁠ We've already seen Manju's amazing denim #MNdurban jumpsuit but look at her latest beautiful make...a Durban bodice with bishop sleeves and a tiered skirt!⁠

Is it a blue Durban... or a black Durban...? 👀⁠
⁠
When we saw @bypaary Gowri's photos of her Durban make, we thought she made two! But this is actually the same romper, just made with a lovely fabric that has a second colour when different types of light shine against it. Now this is what we call a 2-in-1 outfit! 😆⁠
⁠
Thanks for collaborating with us Gowri! Always a joy to see what you make ❤️⁠
