The Dressy Raincoat... Or The Disappointing Minoru

Description
I made a raincoat using the Minoru pattern from Sewaholic Patterns, but it didn’t turn out as well as I’d envisioned… The sleeves are too tight and it’s difficult to move in it. Oh well. More details on my blog.

It looks good on you just put a.piece.in from the armpit down if.you have leftover fabric. I’ve done this and.its not even noticable when I corrected the sleeves x

Ahhh brilliant. Would I need to unpick the entire sleeve from the main body? And then gather it more on the top of the sleeve? I’ve never done this before – thank you!

Hi. I would.pop the coat on a dress form or hanger, open the side side as much as you need plus part way down the underside sleeve seam. Try it back on and work out how much you need to add for comfort. If its part way down both seams add the piece you’ve cut out then just taper it at both ends.it should’nt be noticable as its under the arm.try it anyway and see. Hope.this helps x
