let it rain, let it rain, let it rain...

Done! Whew.

I wanted it short but wonder if I got it too short. I spent a long time deciding which side of this fabric to use as right side and which to use as wrong. The green in textured which I thought would be better inside but, now, I'm not at all sure that was a good decision. The texture makes it harder to slip on and off. Oh well.

However, it is done. Finished. Yeah! And now I can go play in the rain plus move on to other, more fun stuff. to sew.



But, you know what? It's raining here - just a tiny bit - right now so I think I'll go take the new coat around the block.

Thanks, Sue!

I love it!
That’s really cute, and great color details. Well done.

[susandennis]

Thank you! And... turns out... it works!! No rain on me

Love it! The button is a nice touch too.

[susandennis]

Thanks! The button was a cheap way to keep the flap in place. Plus they match the two that you can't see but keep the hood from flapping down in wind.

[roasted-beets.livejournal.com]

I love the length and hoods are my favorite thing.

[susandennis]

It at least keeps my ass dry (and my head) so I think it will work. Thanks!

[zyzyly.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's great! Love the pockets!

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

It looks great and it pairs two of your favorite colors!!! It looks comfy, too!! Well done!

[susandennis]

Thank you!!

That's fantastic! Better than anything you could buy at a store. Lovely. I think purple and green are complements on the color wheel (?).

[susandennis]

Oh how nice of you to say. I've never really 'gotten' the color wheel thing and I really should spend some quality time to figure it out as much as I love color. Project!

[kinderheldin.livejournal.com]

:) I don’t get the color wheel stuff quite either, but you have the artist’s eye. (I think maybe blue is both in green and purple, and that links them somehow.) I just now looked it up on Wikipedia and found this:

“These complement colors are not identical to colors in pigment mixing (such as are used in paint), but when lights are additively mixed in the correct proportions appear as a neutral grey or white.

For example: the reason that the Wimbledon tennis tournament uses purple on the Wimbledon official logo is that purple is located almost opposite of green on the color wheel. Purple against green provides good contrast.”

Who knew? :)

[susandennis]

That's wild about the Wimbledon colors. What a cool fact find.

[eventidereverie.livejournal.com]

I love it and the colors look good together.

[susandennis]

Thanks!

[howeird]

Epic!

That purple is such a great color that of course it has to go on the outside.

[gracegiver]

Yes to all the comments above and I'll add one more: your new phone takes wonderfully sharp pictures. I assume it's your new Pixel?

[susandennis]

Yes! Pixel 3. And I'm delighted with it - especially the camera. All I do is hit the remote button and get these amazingly bright, clear pix. It's wild.

[maju01.livejournal.com]

It's gorgeous!

[susandennis]

Aw. Thank you!!

[letmesaythis.livejournal.com]

Love your coat! You're so talented :)

[susandennis]

Thank you on both counts!
