I purchased the pattern and the lining extension and made the hooded, lined version with the drawstring waist. I made a size up from normal so I could fit a jumper underneath. The fabric I used was a lightish weight drywax cotton and I also decided to waterproof all the seams (you need 12 metres to cover all the seams). I also added an internal zip pocket in the lining to keep my phone dry. The combination of clear instructions and excellent sew alongs make this an involved but uncomplicated make as long as you follow the instructions and tips in the right order. Although if you are waterproofing the seams its best not to sew the lining to the outer along the drawstring as that would ruin the integrity of the waterproofing, I left my lining loose.
