When I was a little girl, I had a green see through rain coat!! I LOVED that soooo much!!❤😊

[@liskimade]

What a fun project! I found it helpful that you kept all that footage in, just to understand the wonkiness of the process even better.

[@astridafklinteberg298]

I absolutely agree! I love it when people show the issues they’ve had in a given project.

[@ThundermansThunder]

Yes, those workarounds, or even complete redos, are priceless!

[@joycleckley2881]

So thankful to see I'm not the only 1 who loves to see the whole process, mistakes, redo's or nackwards sewing, aka ripping out😂😔❤👏👏👏.

[@mandycollins8795]

Me too!

[@opheliahamlet3508]

Not to be believed! I love the pyrex design. Incredible

[@TheMillerFarm]

Brilliant idea! It’s gorgeous! As for heat sealing the seams you could sandwich thy vinyl in between wax paper and go over it with your iron.

[@hannahstraining7476]

Wow! It would never have occurred to me to sew a raincoat. I love that you are always willing to try new things. Your idea to use the decal on the inside of the coat to effectively create a hem is ingenious.

[@desertrat5543]

Love this idea! I’m a fan of rainy days… I really like the idea of showing off an outfit under a clear raincoat. How cool.

[@chrisg4584]

I love how it turned out & how it looked with the green dress! I was wondering, what type of reactions do you get from older folks when you're out & about? Are they surprised when they see a young person wearing clothes from their era? I would think either way it'd make them happy

[@quashiesuzanne]

Thats really nice love it ! What about a rain pancho or a cape that would be out of this world!

[@annabeawilkard4574]

Walmart has a waterproofing gel I've used on cloak seams. It's in the camping section and has a brush on the top. When I last got it I paid $5.00 for it, and it's a decent size bottle. It was clear on the waterproof fabric I used but I've never put it on clear vinyl. Should be transparent but it might have a slight color to it. I let it dry overnight and then put on a second coat just to be really certain the seams would stay dry

[@HarmlessComment]

Awesome! I need to get that stuff 👍

[@cypriennezed5640]

Invisible cloak! 😍 This is wonderful and your completed outfit is inspired

[@s.l.cruson8744]

You are beautiful and have a lovely spirit. We need more people like you in the world.

[@mandycollins8795]

What a fantastic idea! My mom had a small bag sealer at her business, and your burn experiment reminded me of that. I wonder if a straight edged tool, like a heated butter knife, would work to seal the edges? I also thought mini magnets would be a fun alternative for the snaps.

[@charliegirl42ify]

That's a great idea! Like a food seal-a-meal sealer??

[@toastercatx]

I've used a hair straightener before to seal plastic, but you have to get the heat and exposure time *just* right so that it melts without burning.

[@mandycollins8795]

@@charliegirl42ify yes 😊 it was about the size of a large stapler, and had a spring loaded arm. She had a party supply store, and sometimes we needed to reseal a bag. (We marked prices down for products missing a quantity, like if there were 7 toys instead of 8 per bag).

[@deborahc398]

You have so many clever ideas! The coat looks great, and the decals are down-right inspired.

[@SewRena]

Thank you 💕💕

[@ChristeaWah]

@@SewRenaRegarding the heat fusion method for seams, YOU CAN! I’ve seen many tutorials using vinyl (for various items - pencil and makeup pouches, hair bows filled with sequins, etc.) and an iron or hair hot tool (flat iron or a curling iron even, if you can make it work!) and baking parchment paper, to fuse vinyl together. Wherever you want to fuse, simply cover with parchment paper (to prevent burning), and press the iron/clamp the hair tool, for a few seconds until the pieces are fused together. It works like a charm, and with the adjustable temp options on your iron, it’s very adjustable for your specific situation.

[@margomoore4527]

Transparent vinyl raincoats were sometimes available in the 50’s when I was a child. They were often worn with translucent rain boots that you wore over your shoes, and also clear foldable (pleated) vinyl rain bonnets (that were available everywhere). These items were not exactly glamorous, and young people rejected them in the sixties, and they had pretty well disappeared from the market by the seventies.

[@MegaMagicGoat]

I can't believe it's never occurred to me to reuse the transfer tape 😨 definitely going to do this from now on, great tip! I love this raincoat, it's so cute

[@vlogger-cp5dw]

I feel old because I had all these exact dishes and matching corning ware drinking glasses, etc. in the 1970's. Couldn't wait to replace them with the newest and latest. Should have kept them!

[@AntaresSelket]

So beautiful. People would love a vintage see-thru raincoat. I know that was a thing of the past, but it definitely needs to come back into style, because it never really went out of style. I love the vintage flowers on it.

[@linr8260]

That looked like an absolute pain to work with, I admire your perseverance. But the finished coat is great, and the flower decals are SUPER cute, especially with a skirt of that length, it almost looks like a continuation of it!

[@mistyblue2917]

Love the final outcome.. n the lil green boots! 😭💚💚

Great video/project. Thank you. A clear plastic 40's/50s raincoat is on my project list and now you have given me some food for thought...those sleeve seams! Going to have to put my thinking cap on. The coat came out so well, particularly the decorative touches. Looks fab. 👏👏👌👌

[@janiceprunier7477]

So fun! I grew up in the 60s & 70s and remember the clear rain coats and my grandma would wear the plastic bonnets. Also I had a plastic umbrella with purple trim. I loved it! My mom was an upholstery sewer and she used a walking foot machine, so it sewed everything! She also used silicone spray on her machine table to help keep plastic from sticking. It's also recommended to use a Teflon foot to help with the sticking. Love your videos! Your explanations are very clear and easy to understand! Keep up the wonderful videos!!

[@foulapin]

This is so cute. We used to use this vinyl in the 80s to make hair bows with water and glitter inside. We sealed the edges with a curling iron or the regular iron. Protect your iron face with something though.

[@DaughterofGaia1979]

Do take ppl in for an apprenticeship? Teach me your waaays!!! I'd Love to have your talent to sew, and wear Vintage clothing. We just visited my in-laws and their entire house was a throw back to the 60's, and I couldn't stop Gushing over it. Even the furniture and her kitchen🥰😍🤩

[@theresahorton5032]

I began sewing very young, though haven't sewed much as an adult, but I dreamed obsessively about seeing a clear raincoat and boots when I was 7 or 8 years old so I loved seeing this 😊

[@StephanieCanada]

But I am HERE for an invisible cloak... I love how this came out!! SUPER CUTE!

[@SewRena]

Hahaha thanks!!! If I ever make this again I’m gonna put random decals all over the material before sewing so it’s easier to see 😂

[@patricialegare6847]

I love your style. Keep the 40s-60s style alive. You are beautiful and extremely talented.

[@bec9696]

I've been wanting one of these for ages! I was chatting to an elderly lady at a fabric store when I was feeling the vinyls and she said it is easier than one would expect to sew vinyl and not doubt myself. You have given me that final push! Love the decals - I think I want those too.

I had made a rubberized vinyl coat for a costume, and the lack of pins for the shoulders was MADDENING. I ended up using binder clips, and tore open my side seams to set the sleeves in flat. It was a very tiny bit easier.

You posted! Yay! So cute! Such a spiffy idea (clear raincoat)! I needed the cheering up of the invisible sewing! The decals look great!

[@AngelaMerici12]

I think you can use an iron to glue the pieces together but you have to use parchment paper so it doesn't burn the plastic which can make it hard to see what you are doing.

[@nancysonleitner3598]

To solve the sleeve problem for inset sleeves you can put the sleeves in then sew up the side seam from bottom to underarm, pivot with needle in& sew the sleeve seam.

[@shannonbetts8230]

AWESOME job!!! Now you have to make some rain covers for your shoes to match the coat.

[@michellesCanape]

I've sewn vinyl before and struggled with the plastic sticking to everything. I put some blue masking tape, the kind used for painting, on the bottom of my foot and the top of the machine. It completely solves the problem. I didn't have to push it through at all. Love your channel!

[@justruth886]

😂I am so envious! I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@joanreid2804]

You are so creative and brave to take on some of the projects you do. I really enjoy your videos.

[@toastercatx]

This looks gorgeous! Maybe you could try using a hair straightener to seal the seams? I've done that before to seal bags for shipping, like you said it just needs to be a lower temperature and play around with the exposure time. Maybe even melt in some pretty ribbon to make highlighted seams instead of hidden? Not sure if that would strengthen or weaken it 🤔 never had any trouble getting melted plastic off the straighteners, just have a cotton rag handy while they're hot and let them cool thoroughly before chipping off any remainder with an old credit card.

[@terilovo]

If you sprinkle and smooth a little baby powder on the vinyl it will go through the machine fairly easily. After you're finished just wipe off with a damp cloth.

[@robingillespie4467]

I love your rain coat!

[@LiaTheLight]

Omgggg this is purely amazing! I love the Pyrex designs on the sleeve and Bottom of the coat! Now I want a clear raincoat!

[@LordGertz]

I wonder if a lower heating element, possibly applied for a longer time, would work. Like a hair straightener paired with a pressing cloth on each side. Or a biastape iron, with a pressing cloth, probably at a quicker speed. Looks stunning, love the floral print!

[@trinitycarlin1324]

I just subscribed to your channel after watching your shorts. Your videos make me smile after not being able to do so for a long time. Thank you. 😄

[@nadiasews]

The cricut cut decals give it such a nice touch! Some of that pyrex is astronimical and really isn't worth the price....its getting trickier to piece together sets because of inflated reseller prices and goodwill for example sends a lot its stuff to their website completely bypassing retail stores...SO FRUSTRATING.

[@amandaglidewell8451]

I seal vynil and plastic bags with a flat iron. One that I can set the exact temperature. It works great.
