For a lightweight jacket option that shelters you from summer showers, look no further than Amy Butler's two new patterns. Her Rainy Days Hooded Jacket for women and the Little Splashes jacket for children are both stylish and funtional. They are also the perfect excuse to try her new line of laminated fabrics in bright prints.

And while you're making your own rain gear, try covering your own custom-made umbrella to match following our online tutorial from Threads issue 145 by Sandra Ericson. For more information on sewing rain-appropriate attire, check out "Sew Fashionable Rainwear" by Claire Meldrum in Threads issue 148.
