Bungee Jumper by Deanne Bodeau: "I don't know about you but this is just about the closest thing I'll ever get to 'Bungee Jumping'. This 'comfort fit' jumper is a perfect place to combine your favorite coordinating fabrics or a blank canvas for your creative piecing, applique or embellishments. It's a quick sew-up, limited only by your imagination! Tighten your belt, secure your ankle straps, take the risk and come jump with me. I challenge you to be a jumper too!"
Suggested Fabrics: Light to medium weight cottons, rayon, silk, linen or lightweight wool. Tip: Varying scale, texture and color but not value, will create a garment that is more figure flattering. Too many different values could look choppy. You want a smooth, safe jump!
Notions: sewing thread, thread for topstitching - regular or heavy weight. Seven to ten buttons.
