Rain Rain Go Away!!

Rain Rain Go Away
Come again another day
If you should decide to stay
I will just be be forced to Slay...

Well its been raining a little bit here and what better occasion than to make a raincoat! Who says you can't be Sassy, Classy, and Sexy in the rain? Well I say you can! I got inspired to make this coat when I visited my daughter at college on campus. I went in her bathroom and noticed the nicest shower curtain ever and immediately got an idea to make something out of it...first I thought Maxi Skirt, then I thought a raincoat would be a more feasible idea. So instead of diamonds today this Raincoat is a girls best friend!! Below is my pattern review of McCalls 6442.

Pattern Review: McCalls 6442 Misses coat and belt

Did it look like the photo on the pattern envelope once you were done: For the most part yes.

Were the instructions easy to follow: Yes they were a little tedious though…lol

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern: I like the option of having a shorter or longer peplum, the hood and the pockets!

Fabric Used:A shower curtain!!!

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I used a ponte and smaller sleeve pattern for the sleeve. I also opted to do no facing and add snaps for closure instead of it being open

Would you sew it again: I’ve made this coat several times…so this might be going into retirement after I finish the other 2 I have cut out.

Would you recommend it to others: Yes I most certainly would!

PS: I ACTUALLY SHOT THESE IN THE RAIN...
