The raincoat looks terrific! Despite your initial dread, I’ll bet you found this pattern straightforward and easy. Results look totally professional. Well done Aunties!
ABSOLUTELY! Liesl never disappoints with the pattern directions!!
Lucky girl! The raincoat looks fabulous!
Thanks, Emily! We really shouldn’t have delayed like we did . . . but, dresses are just so much more fun to sew
. . .
That turned out fantastic! The lining fabric is just darling, and I love the contrasting top-stitching! I wouldn’t mind having a matching raincoat myself.
So true . . . now that I think about it :).
Wow, your raincoat turned out so beautiful! I love the colors and the lining is perfect! Such a lucky girl and totally worth the wait!
She was a pretty happy recipient . . . shocked {that we finally sewed it}, but happy!
I love your choice of laminated fabric, very classy with kid friendly pinks. It may be useful for your readers to understand that the laminated fabrics are not the same as the plastic oilcloth fabrics that are made in Mexico which are inexpensive, and available all over the internet and in many stores as well. The oilcloth is toxic and should not be used on items for kids under the age of 12, or anybody else who cannot tolerate that smell (that new plastic shower curtain smell.) This link is helpful is noting the differences. If the link doesn’t show up then just do a web search on comparing laminates with plastic oilcloth. I am writing this as I have seen several tutorials on making baby bibs from oilcloth prints. yikes, not good! http://oilclothaddict.blogspot.com/2011/06/q-oilcloth-vs-laminated-cotton-vs.html
Thanks for the link, Brenda!! Laminates and oilcloths are still confusing to us . . . so, we’ll be referencing this link {along with our readers}!
Hi ladies, been so admiring all your “For Disneyworld” creations, and this jacket is just splendid. So useful to have your feedback about the sewing of it.
Thanks Fiona!! It’s been a summer of Disney, hasn’t it?!?!?! We’ve been sewing while we’ve shared those posts, so there will be more fun projects to share once school begins again.
What a beautiful raincoat! What girl would not fall in love with the fabric you used for the lining
