Burda, 6747
Dress and Shoes are old Alexa Chung at M&S. Here is my long-awaited review of my first ever rain mac. This is the Burda 6747 made in diamond bonded waterproof fabric (with Dewspo lining) from New Craft House . I had a voucher for New Craft House, and I wanted to get something a bit different which I wouldn’t normally get so this waterproof fabric was perfect. There are a lot of things to consider when working with this kind of fabric and you need some special supplies including: · - A Teflon machine foot so the fabric doesn’t stick as you sew · - Wonder Clips rather than pins as when this fabric is pierced the hole remains · - Seam Sealant to fill the gaps in the seams to make the coat waterproof. You can get iron-on tape but you also cannot apply heat to this fabric as it will melt so I had to use the gel instead. This fabric is lightweight, and I wanted to make sure I would be warm so I decided to stitch insulation to the lining.
