I am hoping to make another one of these jackets for my little man - he is just about outgrown his and the rain has been pouring down in our area lately.

a new raincoat . . .
Last week I found a few hours to sew up a new raincoat for my oldest daughter. The pattern is called the Starboard Jacket from the Peek-a-Boo Pattern Shop. It was really easy to follow, and the jacket came together quickly.
The outer fabric I used is a laminate from Wholeport.com (and it is on sale in their shop right now). I love the feel and drape of this fabric. For the trim, I used a second laminate from their shop and found it a bit heavier-weight (good thing I had a denim needle on hand). The inside of the jacket is a jersey knit from my local fabric store - my daughter loves the feel of it.

The jacket looks GREAT! And probably pretty comfy with the knit inside.
That is such a cute jacket! I've been a little intimidated by jackets, so I haven't sewn any for my little ones yet. This one looks so awesome that I might have to tackle one soon!
