Fabric Mart "Bundle" Challenge

In this challenge we were required to make two items, using all three fabrics that we received earlier from Fabric Mart.  Here are my fabrics:
                                                                  

I knew immediately when I saw the raincoat fabric that I wanted to make a coat, but realized I'd have to add additional fabric from my stash (which the judges indicated was okay). I took my extra colors from the "dancer fabric" adding a black wool and ponte knit, hot pink poly, and a vintage "Route 66" fabric I've had for ages, just waiting for the perfect thing.


THE DRESS:  I had been wanting to try this Vogue Marcy Tilton pattern and thought of it when I saw the stripes in my bundle fabric.
                                                         

Unfortunately I did not have enough of the striped fabric to make all the "shingles" on the dress so after some experimenting decided to use the 3 middle ones.   I didn't like the look of the raw edges as instructed by the pattern, so added a black knit binding on the bottoms of the slanted edges.

THE COAT:  I used another Marcy Tilton pattern by Vogue for this:
                                                                            

I had just enough of the bronze raincoat fabric for the body of the coat and used a remnant of black wool for the arms and collar.  The fun part was making the "patches" to go around the bottom and on the shoulder and back of it!         I used quilting techniques to piece together different blocks, using all of my fabrics in some way.   Here are some close-ups:

This project was so much fun and I am ready for the next rainy day---just need a pink umbrella!
