Hopscotch Jumper
$25.00 – $31.00The Hopscotch Jumper is a playfully bold mini with a fresh, minimalist edge. Designed to hit just below the bum, its ultra-short length and low-hanging front bib give this style a distinctive twist—turning the classic overall into something cooler, chic-er, and unmistakably modern. The subtle A-line shape flares gently from the hips, while a straight-across neckline keeps things feeling clean and balanced. It’s the perfect mix of laid-back and fashion-forward.
Center front and back seams add beautiful shaping and open up endless possibilities for creative piecing and patchwork. Two oversized front patch pockets bring personality and practicality, and fully adjustable straps let you choose your fit and coverage.
Don’t be fooled by the style—it’s a surprisingly simple sew. Ideal for confident beginners and a satisfying quick project for seasoned makers.
Style it with a fitted tee or puff sleeve blouse for an easy daytime look. Go cool-girl casual with a bralette or crop top, or take it into colder weather with a turtleneck, tights, and boots. However you wear it, the Hopscotch Jumper is all about having fun with your sewing and your style.
As with all Matchy Matchy patterns, The Hopscotch Jumper is designed with intention: simple shapes, approachable construction, and plenty of room for creativity. We believe sewing should feel joyful, not overwhelming—so our patterns are here to support your curiosity, build your confidence, and celebrate the fun of making something yourself.
