Amy Butler Sewing Pattern - Rainy Days Hooded Raincoat

Good

I was very disappointed--I thought I was purchasing a foldable raincoat--it was a PATTERN for one. No paper work with it, so I couldn't return it.

great Rain jacket! If you are using Laminated material make sure you read the sewing tips. The pattern runs small,Next time I would use 2sizes up.

I havent used it yet but it came perfectly fine

This is a cute pattern but I am really glad I didn't invest in expensive laminated fabric. It runs very small. No wearing ease built in. I made it according to body measurements listed but I had to let out every seam just to get it on. Especially tight in the shoulders and arms. Pretty disappointing for a 15 dollar pattern.Directions were good and it its cute made up, but beware. I'd have had better luck with a McCalls I got at Hancock for a dollar.

Pattern missing key elements... No marking of apex for bust adjustments... No lengthen shorten lines for sleeves... Sewing construction instructions seem clear

Thanks to other.reviewers, I knew to check the size even more carefully. What I did not expect was that more fabric was called for than was needed, even allowing for matching the designs. The pattern and directions are poorly done. There is no marking for center front and the size of buttons called for is not appropriate for the space when you finally calculate what button placement should be. The concept for the coat is cute. Actually making it is not fun.
