Nicole replied to the topic In a clutch… interfacing recommendations in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Nicole replied to the topic Raincoat? in the forum off topic 10 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.
