Raincoat
Pattern Description: Self-drafted Swing Dress
Similar patterns you could use: M7407, S1105, or M7622
Pattern Sizing: My pattern was self-drafted from a RTW shirt. The size is 2XL.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, I added sleeves from Mimig's S9186 (with a slight alteration) and a hood from Burda 6718. I also inserted a separating zipper in the front. I used a pocket tutorial from Sew It Academy to add patch pockets.
I love how this raincoat turned out. I don't think I've ever owned a raincoat and I couldn't wait for the rain so I could get photos.
Fabric Used: I used a blue camo print ripstop from Joann's Fabric. The fabric wasn't wide enough for the swing dress so I cut as far across as I could and left the selvage edge in my make for character.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, I am making one for a friend. I would recommend making if you need a raincoat. You may want to consider making a size a little bigger since you will be wearing clothes under the raincoat.
