So following on from my post about the pattern and its dodgy placket, I now have my fabric for my raincoat! I am making a short, jacket-length version of the
Lara Sanner Truffle Coat pattern with toggles and a drawstring round the hood. I still need to gather a few supplies (separating zip and cord for the toggles and drawstring) as the basic haberdashery at Liberty is sadly much-depleted these days and John Lewis closes at 8pm.
Not a great picture because the light was gone by the time I got home, but you can get the idea. The main fabric is the blue - a waxed canvas from Dalston Mill. The flowery lawn is the lining (and the matching zip for an internal pocket) and the purple leather offcut is for the toggle fasterners. The toggle buttons look black in the picture but they are actually dark blue. I need to go back for some smaller ones to go on the hood drawstring, because I only thought of that later.
I really wanted Strawberry Thief for the lining, but they didn't have it in an appropriate colourway so flowers it is.
