My name is Sasha and I\u2019m the designer and maker behind Secondopiano<\/a>. For me a pattern is just a starting point. That\u00b4s why, when I saw the Katia Fabrics raincoat pattern<\/a>, I immediately wondered how I could modify it to reflect my personal style and taste. Without worrying about adjusting the pattern, because the KatiaFabrics sewing patterns fit perfectly, I made the following sewing hack. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sewing Hack<\/h2>\n

First, I chose the Waterproof Women\u00b4s Rain fabric<\/a> with a beautiful and dreamy print. Without a doubt, it is an ideal Lady Desidia<\/em> design to illuminate the rainy days. <\/span>I prefer using strong prints with parsimony so I shortened the pattern to mid hip and added an elastic drawstring<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The position of the pockets went up a bit and I added a comfortable side entry. <\/span>I added a corduroy flat collar<\/strong> that nicely finishes the neckline when I wear the jacket open. The drawstring that completes the collar adds a modern twist to an otherwise classic design.<\/span><\/p>\n

To sew the collar on I sandwiched it between the hood and the facings <\/span><\/p>\n

I would have preferred the hood<\/strong> a bit bigger: to wear it up I have to undo my hair. When copying the pattern I realized that the hood cover was incomplete, the centerpiece of the hood was missing.<\/span><\/span> I wrote to Katia and they promptly sent the correction and they added an errata<\/a> on the website.

Women\u00b4s waterproof jacket pattern<\/span><\/h3>\n

Change some details to get a truly waterproof jacket. <\/span>I turned the center front seams toward the inside by adding 5mm to the center front of the front pattern piece and trimming 5mm from the center front of the front-facing piece. <\/span><\/p>\n

Also, I also modified the cuffs of the sleeves\u00a0<\/span>to better hold against rain by making a wide cuff finished with elastic on the inside – a detail often present in technical jackets<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I added snap buttons on the covers that I reinforced with small pieces of thermo-adhesive interlining. Next, I waterproofed all exposed seams with a 2 cm
\nwide transparent seam sealing tape that I cut lengthwise in two to get 1 cm wide. In this video show how to apply the tape and achieve waterproof seams.<\/span><\/p>\n
