Thank you so much for sharing and walking us through the process. It looks great and I feel that I’ve learnt a lot as well.

WOW! You did such a wonderful job in all aspects - color choice, sewing skill, style. Really nice! I hope to tackle a raincoat one day soon and will make sure to watch this again. Fantastic.

Gorgeously made! I'm in awe...well done and thank you for sharing your beautiful work. I'm currently at making pouches and pajama stage - with lots of fabric in my stash. Lots of love and admiration. 😍🤩

Wow! Beautifully done. What a talent to have. And I love how restful and instructional your videos are. Really enjoyed watching.

Appreciate your walk through on the welt pockets! Great job!

Thank you for your clear video and description of making this rain coat. Currently I am sewing a pattern from another brand of which the instructions are not very clear. Seeing you working on some parts really helped me out 🙏

I love this! I decided to sew a jacket like this to my son's godmother because she complained that the jacket she wanted to buy was sold out. I have been successful in sewing lined blazers but my outerwear projects have not been a hit. The video is very helpful.

Great job of sewing your beautiful coat. I personally love all the snaps

[SeamstressedNiis]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I want to make a rain coat but the instructions of my pattern are terrible. Your video is exactly what I need ❤

Aren't you brave! But what a lovely job you did.I think you're going to enjoy wearing it. Thanks for the mention of the supply Depot in Toronto. I've ordered some hardware from them.

[NesralNeets]

You did a beautiful job on your coat and it looks great on you.

[jessilous_closet]

You did such a lovely job! It’s beautiful ❤ I especially love the brass hardware. It compliments the color of the coat so well and looks very professional.

[PermaPen]

That looks terrific, thank you for filming the process! I do love merchant & mills oilskin, and a raincoat is high on my list of projects. I'll check that pattern out for sure. Enjoy your new coat!

[ellielundgren]

[blufaerie]

Lol at coat being born. I always feel this way with the burrito method!😂

Your coat is beautiful!

[elsafischer]

Beautiful I have to make one thank you 😊

[dine-amite]

Hello ! Thank you very much for your sewalong ! ♥️ It helped me a lot for the lining. Actually, I sew the sleeves using the same technique as you and I could turn the coat out throug the hole at the sleeve. 😉

[lauriemiechowicz]

Love watching your videos for inspiration! I was wondering if you have ever made a wool sweater or what that process is like, if you're up for the challenge 😉.
