Lining for kids raincoat? Modkids pattern
chrisquilts_2   Intermediate USA Member since 6/16/06 Posts: 1161	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 6/14/12 9:33 AM I'm making three kids raincoats: two of the modkids pattern, and one TBD for a boy. The pattern says it can be reversible but the idea of using laminate inside and doesnt appeal to me. Here's a link since my image isn't showing up Modkids. Anyway I would love any suggestions. I have no interest in lining it for warmth. I'm more concerned with sliding little arms in and out and durability. The last two purchased raincoats had shredded sleeves in a matter of weeks. I have a coupon for fabric.com burning a hole in my pocket... -- Edited on 6/14/12 9:35 AM -- -- Edited on 6/14/12 9:38 AM -- ------ Too much fabric to count...

I always loved when the lining was a wilder version of the fabric on the outside of the garment. ------ sarah in nyc www.sewnewyork.blogspot.com

I'd like to do something fun tho... So what will hold up, not shred, and yet be slickery? ------ Too much fabric to count...
