Decided im fed up bringing back coats from walks so designed a coat which goes inside its own collar.

Minty says at last a waterproof thats lightweight but can go over a fleece if its cold.

[animalady]

Hee hee - just a bit of fiddling and tweaking - minty as per usual a brilliant dummy all day!

Are you going to make them for sale, Abbie, and if so, can you do them in other colours too? :cheers:

Its a little bit more than i would want to pay for a lightweight rain coat, i think £10 plus P&P is the most i would pay, because i could get a fleece rain coat for £14

Just my opinion, great idea though

Perhaps you should go on Dragons den with the idea (w00t) :thumbsup:

 

[TC]

Really inventive, well done you :cheers:

[animalady]

sorry you think its more than youd pay but then its not just a coat is it and is made to measure and is not just a churned out product you can pick up from a shelf.

thanks for your criticisms and encouragments

 

[whippetmad]

Abbie they are great, a great idea :thumbsup: so good that you can do a range of colours :thumbsup:

PS LOVE YOUR MODELS :wub: :wub:

hi kim i think ,its well worth what abbie is asking for them to be honest as i dont think people realise how much time and effort us sewers put into making our stuff theres the fabric cottons excet and elec and velcro ,which by the way costs a bloody fortune and then wer lucky if we make £2/£3,and hour for making it ,would you get out of bed and go to work for £2/£3 and hour i dont think so , so all in all unless your mass produceing it and getting fabric in ridiculas amounts to minimise the costs ,we dont actually make much at all

I know you can never get back the amount you put in, in time, i do understand that.

I also sew i made racing jackets which took ages to make but you couldnt sell for much.

I wasnt having a go just giving an opinion

Why pm, i thought she was looking for opinions on the Mac Collar, i think its a fab idea, just a tad more than i would want to pay...

How easy is it to fold back into the collar part? I know I struggle when folding hoods back on to coats etc, as they always end up really bulky and lumpy looking. Does the same happen with this? :wacko:
