Exactly! I couldn't find my rain gear, been too long. My nephew refused to take his good quality rain jacket to school with him, so I found use for it today. Only a little too big for me, but it worked. No rain pants, no problem. Found a black trash bag, tore a hole at the bottom so I could step through and drew the string around my waist. Viola!
My neighbor looked at my rain skirt with envy. She got soaked under her military poncho she bought at redwood sierra trading post. Go figure.
