"Rainy Days" SEWING PATTERN

Brighten the day with these sweet jacket designs - in laminated fabric for a lightweight, lined raincoat, or in home dec fabric for a sunny day runabout. With two pocket styles, a generous hood & tons of great finish details, you can liven up your outerwear with bold prints and a fresh take on everyday wear!

Materials List (for all styles & sizes

The yardage given is for a one-way design. Allow extra yardage for matching or centering a design on your fabric.

There are so many great options with this coat! The Raincoat exterior is made using my 58” wide mid-weight Laminated fabric with the "Sandlewood" print from my "Love" collection.

You can also make a light weight Jacket by using 54" wide Home Dec for the exterior. My "Sandlewood" print is also available in the Home Dec fabric.

For the Lining use either 44” wide quilting weight or 54” mid-weight Home Dec fabric.

If you're working with laminated fabric, be sure to check out my "Laminated Fabric Tips" on my website before you start your coat. These tips will really come in handy.

This Coat was designed as a fitted garment so you can wear light weight clothing underneath. If you'll be wearing heavier layers you'll want to make the next larger size.
