Nicole replied to the topic Raincoat? in the forum off topic 11 years ago
There have been some really lovely raincoats made, I know @beachmom made a very professional one, as did @katybellabug.
I made one, for my son, using oilskin/dryzabone fabric. I couldn’t iron the seams so I used a tongue depresser and a bit of brute strength to ‘press’ the seams open.

Well it will be an interesting day of sewing for me today. We had a huge storm last night and it took our power so the generator has been going all night will be likely on all day aswell. We will test its limits with the iron and aircon aswell as machines to see how much it can stand.

What a pain but clever you for finding a fix!
My little ones have enormous heads as babies (they almost need staking, like dahlias) I tend to do a head tug check before finishing off.

Absolutely, Happy Thanksgiving to those that celebrate it.
Is it a set day? Or like Mothers Day, it floats?

Thank you sosew.
I am so grateful to Janice, Deb and Amanda, for organising the sew along.

Hurrah @sosew, you finished, well done.
Trixies is a bit big but as the wool is so soft, moulds about her and is definitely wearable!

That is so fascinating about the ASTM children’s clothing standards, @todd. Does a similar standard exist for adult patterns?
@kahawa101, yes adult versions of the standards exist too.
