Ages ago, I purchased this very cool two-sided rain-resistant fabric [purchased from Michael Fabric] with the intention of making this little rain jacket [OOP Vogue 8480].
Returning to warm weather in Cincinnati has pushed this project to the top of the list. I'm going to cut it out today. I plan to modify by eliminating the flare on and lengthening the sleeve. (What is the point of a cropped sleeve on a jacket - that would just annoy me!) I would also like to make the jacket longer so it covers the tush. Since the jacket is not lined, I think I can try the longer length and if it doesn't look right, trim it back to the design length.
JoAnn's has buttons buy one/get one free this weekend so I'll zip over to pick up coordinating buttons this morning.

this will be fabulous, I love the underside of it
I'm with you. Cropped sleeve on a jacket? I don't even like them much on sweaters. It will look great.
