It's not often these days that I spend a month working on the same sewing project. But this rain coat has been a handful, that's for sure. Apart from the sleeve incident, I've melted fabric, created permanent holes in the wrong places and watched eyelets come loose after the assembly. But somehow I've managed to solve most of the mishaps and learned to overlook the remaining ones.
I finished the rain coat 11 pm last night and luckily it was pouring this morning, so I have already been test driving the coat - and it's waterproof! And I love it. Love it! I won't exhaust myself (or you) with all the details of the making today, but I will talk about how to sew waterproof garments in a separate post.
This is quite unique and modern. I like it. Well worth the time you spent on it.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I can see why you love it so much.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like having the weather cooperate so you can test-drive a new garment! The raincoat looks great and you look adorable.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteIt looks super. And functional to boot - best of all possible worlds.
Awesome! You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic, great job.
ReplyDeleteYour new coat looks very RTW! Well worth all the trouble it caused :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Makes me want to go and jump in puddles.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely perfect. I love your jacket. You did an awesome job!

How great the weather co-operated :)
Your perseverence paid off--just look what you have! That's a great coat. Enjoy wearing it and receiving all kinds of compliments!

ReplyDeleteAmazing, great coat. I can tell you love it from your big smile! Also, I love your new slideshow "Made by me" - so many great pieces.
ReplyDeleteSnyggelisnyggt! Skulle matcha mina prickiga gummistövlar perfekt. Vi får ta en regnpromenad nån gång helt enkelt.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great. I love it! Definitely worth the time, effort, (and mess!)
ReplyDeleteI want to try to sew a raincoat too! Yours is fantastic. Nice pictures.
ReplyDeleteDen är jättefin! Jag är själv sugen på att sy min egen regnjacka, men jag undrar bara om man ska fodra den?
ReplyDeleteDid you ever post your details on waterproofing? I am trying to make a raincoat for my daughter and would love to read your tips.
