it looks so nice. I like the pokadots that you used for the lining. I just might have to try that pattern. Have fun wearing it.

@okie2thdoc: I didn't seal the seams with anything, although I did use polyester thread which resists wicking. I figured if it worked for cloth diapers it would work for this; a raincoat is sort of like a cloth diaper in reverse. I would probably use a seam sealant for more heavy duty rain gear but it held up to our torrential rains today.

Darling raincoat! I had totally missed this pattern and it's very tempting. Thanks for pointing it out.

That is fantastic!! I made one in a a boring stretch gray twill, but I really love yours!!!!

You know, being seen from afar is rather a virtue for a raincoat, which you're presumably wearing on grey days. Consider it as built-in self-defense against aggressive or distracted drivers! The PowerShield recommended is only slightly stretchy, so no wonder the pattern works well for woven fabrics too. This fits you very well indeed.

We need to be seen from a mile away on a rainy day. This is just too cute.

What fun...you need a cute hat to go with your adorable raincoat. Raindrops on roses!

Fabulous job at matching the fabric's pattern - a beautiful coat!

I LOVE it! This coat will cheer up everyone who sees it on a rainy day. Great idea!

Love it!

Thanks for your kind comments. @Ndorfpins: would you believe that the pattern matching was entirely serendipitous? It probably wouldn't have worked out as well if I did it on purpose.

What a fantastic rain coat, just the thing to brighten your spirits on a cloudy day.

Wanting what we shouldn't have works fabulously sometimes. Especially if you end up with a masterpiece like this. Just beautiful!

I LOVE that fabric! It's so cheerful! I am amazed at all those alterations--I wouldn't know how to do 1/4 of those! I'm so inspired to learn!
