The clear crystal rain coat DIY



Hello sweet readers today i would like to share with you my lasted diy.It's a rain coat.
It is inspired at the work of Irina Shaposhnikova Crystallographica.

I was amazed by her work but i knew i would not find anything that looked like this in the market,this is her graduation collection so i tried with some good old fashion geometry to make a an inspired design i thought it would make a fantastic clear rain coat,i thought the clear would give the crystal look to it.
Believe it or not it's made with plastic tablecloths sold by meters,i got 2 meters for 5 euros.
I've made a paper pattern,then i've numbered and copied all the pieces,put it on the plastic with paper scotch and then cut leaving seam allowance.Then i've sewn all the pieces together with the paper on and then i've taken off the paper.








I had to make some fixing moving from the 2d pattern to the 3d coat.
It's been an adventure to come to the end because i've started with an idea in mind but in the making i had to find solutions to problems as they presented.
This coat still needs the closure,i still not have in mind the solution to this problem because i don't want to ruin the simmetry of the coat,i'll use maybe a transparent zipper or plastic hooks i'm still thinking.
