This toddler raincoat has snap closures on the front, a hood to keep their heads dry, and a fully lined interior. This project is the perfect combination of style and practicality.
This little coat offers the durability and water resistance that you need with toddlers, but it stays soft and flexible, allowing them to move freely. This little raincoat is sure to win hearts everywhere you go.

The pattern was designed by Susan Terpin for Connecting Threads. It is written for sizes 2T/3T and 4T/5T and includes tips for working with laminate fabric. Unfortunately, Connecting Threads no longer sells this vinyl fabric but you can find tons of choices on ETSY!!
Laminate fabric that has a matte finish makes for easy sewing and very little sticking, compared to glossy laminates.
To make the toddler raincoat you will need the following supplies:
- 2-1/2 yards [2-3/4 yds for Size 4 and 5] of laminate fabric for main color
- 2-1/2 yards [2-3/4 for Size 4 and 5] yds of coordinating fabric for lining (My personal choice would be to use flannel or a light fleece)
- 1/4 yard of laminate for trim.
- Four large snaps
Your child will love this raincoat and I would LOVE to see your creation. Check out our pattern index for more FREE patterns.

Hi I cannot figure out this pattern for the toddler rain coat I printed the pattern three times and can’t put it together can you help
On Page 15 there is a “map” on how to tape the paper pieces together. Does this help?

Hi, I cannot figure out how to sew the hood. I did step 8 but I’m not sure how to get from step 8 to step 9. Can someone explain how?
Step 8 is sewing of the hood. The diagram shows a dotted line where to sew. Once the hood has been stitched, Step 9 shows how to fold it so it will be ready for sewing in Step 10. I suggest that you move on to Step 10. It may make more sense when you are placing the hood onto the jacket. Good luck.
