Tracy’s Liberty Oilcloth Raincoat
Tracy’s Liberty Oilcloth raincoat
Another Beautiful make from Tracy, using our Liberty Oilcloth (in the Tresco print) to make this amazing raincoat!
A few words from Tracy:
This jacket is made using the Landgate pattern from Merchant & Mills — a wonderfully practical design that’s easy to wear, with generously sized pockets that make it perfect for everyday use, especially dog walks.
I’ve added a few personal touches along the way, including lining the hood and the front zip guard, which aren’t part of the original pattern but give it a lovely finished feel.
There’s something so satisfying about making a piece that’s both practical and beautiful and this Liberty Tresco Oilcloth raincoat is the perfect example!
Why Oilcloth works so well
Sewing your own clothes is something special and to see function and comfort being brought together in this project makes it even more beautiful.
Oilcloth works so well in these types of projects as it is both water resistant and durable, plus it’s easy to work with. Perfect for the rainy season!
Bright in emotion and print, this Tresco Oilcloth (along with many other oilcloth prints) really captures the classic Liberty feel by adding so much personality to any project.
