Everything you need to know to make this fabulous rain cape is here. It includes the materials needed plus very good instructions as how to make the pattern all by yourself.
‘The waterproof rain cape is excellent for touring or commuting; in just a couple of seconds, you can slip it on over whatever you’re wearing, and you are protected from the rain’
So below is the actual pattern for the rain cape. Of cource you will need all the "how to's " to make this, so go visit the Weekend Designer.

NOW ... I will also include this from Instructibles if you want to make a super simple rain poncho out of old (yes old as in used) shower curtains click here
OR maybe you could do as I was planning which is to sort of combine the pattern from weekend designer along with the shower curtain idea. Or a second thought was to use vinyl or plastic picnic table cloths. In case my thrift store hunt fails me, just this once I was thinking of buying new shower curtain in some very Scandinavian designer prints like ones I’ve seen at IKEA
This it too funny….over at ChicCyclist you can find a great posting on making a riding cape. Talk about synchronicity… I’d been holding off posting my rain cape until we had our first rains here. I wanted to go get some photos of girls in rain wear to go with it! So in synchronicity with ChicCyclist up went this timely post!
