Raincoat Sneak Peek
Do you remember this pattern that I previously made for Laura?
Well, I've been working on mine all week with finally something to show for it.
I'm using the same black raincoating fabric that I used for Laura's, so this, obviously, is the lining. Originally, I had purchased this Amy Butler twill for a vintage shirtdress, but the reality is that the color is all wrong for me, and actually, I kinda don't like it. However, I do kinda like it for a lining. I wanted the sleeves to be slippery (lesson learned after I made Laura's), and had this silvery silk (poly?) charmeuse in my stash.

Love your lining! Even black coats deserve fun linings. I've also learned my lesson on sleeve linings - if they're not slippery enough, odd things happen when you're pulling your arms through. Keep sewing - can't wait to see the final result.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is going to be a great raincoat! Love the lining!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of a black raincoat with that lovely lining! A raincoat is actually what I need here right now - it's been raining a LOT in London.
ReplyDeleteI remember you posting on that fabric and I think it makes a great lining. I never would have thought of that. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteThat's going to be gorgeous!
