I would love to make some table cloths and lunch bags! Or maybe just a baby pancho for a very messy little girl.

I was thinking rain coat or poncho too! I hate carrying an umbrella, so I wonder if this would work for a brimmed rain hat?! perhaps in bright red!

I would like to make a raincoat and a lunchbox-case. I’m thinking it would be nice and practical to have a fitted, boxy, wipable case for my lunchbox. And of course it would have to have an extra zippered compartment for cutlery! … how did I manage to live without one before? I just have to make one now!

I would make awesome patio cushions. The current ones are getting ragged.
Dec 4, 2011, 05.12 PMby Cheryl Henderson
I would make a cover for our grill and cover the patio cushions to match.

I’d love to say a raincoat, but these days I think I’m only ambitious enough for a simple apron. I do, however, need an apron, which I learned after getting flour all over my cute thanksgiving sweater!

I have made the most interesting window blinds out of oilcloth; I remember especially the horizontally strong-striped blue and white oilcloth shades I made for my 2d floor bedroom. Very jazzy!

Rain jacket or a rain poncho.
Dec 4, 2011, 04.51 PMby mcglen8
I would recover my kitchen chairs and make a cover for my mixer.

I’d make a camo raincoat for my german shepherd ( and probably get carried away and make a matching hat – that he would mulishly refuse to wear)
Dec 4, 2011, 04.38 PMby emmens74
Oh I think I’d make some supercool art apron for my 3 children, I can’t cope when they get paint on their clothes!!
Dec 4, 2011, 04.31 PMby Penguinade
Those prints would make adorable trench-y raincoats

I really want to make a rain cape out of oil cloth, I’ve noticed that capes are really in this season but I’m not so sure I’ll be warm in them in the winter, a rain cape seems much more practical for me!

How about mixing the oilcloth with clear plastic for childrens books. Place written or embroidered pictures under the clear sections and make this a totally wipe off book. Other than that a a raincoat, doll clothes, beach totes with petscreen, my thinking cap is still working.

I would love to make a rain slicker out of the toile (blue with black) design I’ve had a slicker on my to make list for a while now. It would also make a awesome beachbag for the crise I’m going on in April!

i would use some cute oilcloth to line my homemade bookshelves or make a super cute apron :-D
Dec 4, 2011, 03.46 PMby dobleufa
I would sew some cushions for my patio furniture.
Dec 4, 2011, 03.37 PMby plaidlinoleum
I would make a wipe-clean apron! I do a lot of paper mache, and it would be great to have a fun apron to wear to keep my clothes protected from little drips of paste.
Dec 4, 2011, 03.33 PMby fayedoll
It would be just perfect for a spring raincoat!
Dec 4, 2011, 03.29 PMby alissaslagle
