joan said... A great idea for a lt. rain cape. Makes me think my sis that I sew for across country might like one for that type of day for her. Hope my JoAnns has some similar fabric. 8/15/08 11:24 AM

cindyann said... The is just awesome, Marji! I lurve it! What a fantastic idea to use this pattern for rainwear. Lucky sister. BTW, this is a great review and I suspect that the "needs more info" button got hit by accident. I've had to catch myself a few times as it's right next to the "very helpful" button. 8/15/08 12:17 PM

Tany said... What a fabulous garment and excellent (Very Helpful) review! Thank you so much for sharing this project, Marji! You should be very proud of the outcome! Well done! 8/15/08 3:01 PM
Rhoda K said... Beautiful cape and I like the part that arm slits aren't required. I, too, think they would be cumbersome. I think this would also be nice as a "regular" cape, too, especially with slacks. Great job! 8/15/08 3:06 PM
ALY said... Great pairing of fabric and pattern! And the color will brighten any rainy day. 8/15/08 3:47 PM

rozzybabe said... I'm not a "cape" person, & in Canada our winters are very cold, so obviously a warmer fabric would have to be used, however, your details & excellent pictures will lead me to getting this pattern. Many thanks for the clear directions on a corded buttonhole, another tip I'll use. Super job! 8/15/08 6:28 PM
AnneM said... That is lovely. Nice solution to your DSis' outerwear problem. 8/15/08 7:33 PM

Fran G said... This is just the prettiest rain cape that I have seen..what a great color for a rainy day. Your point about not using/needing the armhole slits is well taken. I love the cape buttoned up....your sister is very fortunate to have you and I can tell that you love her! Beautiful work, Marji, but you had best get some rest as you have been sewing up a storm lately! 8/16/08 8:30 AM
