In the world of technical outdoor gear, there are few options for odd sized people. Ryan and I have always struggled to find gear that fits. We are tall, and most gear is intended for people much shorter than us. When I started sewing clothes, I always hoped I’d get to the point where I could make technical gear, and this jacket is the first step towards that dream.
DETAILS
- Pattern: McCall’s M7668 Hooded Jackets
- Fabric: Robin Egg Blue 0.66 oz MEMBRANE 10 taffeta nylon from Ripstop By the Yard
- Notions: 3 yards of ⅝” Driz Fold-Over Elastic, 26″ sport separating zipper
On a side note, sewing the pattern was actually really straight forward. I was able finish it in just a few hours. Don’t be intimidated by zippers either. I only had issues when trying to figure out how to shorten my zipper, otherwise it was easy to install.
