Upcycled Denim Jacket

November 10, 2019 By Mary Peterson 8 Comments

Hello Everyone,

Sometimes you come across a piece that is just a crime, and the crime was committed here. (See Below) I came across this atrocity at a local thrift store. Someone had done some major damage to it. (I have no idea if it was really connected to the show in some way, but it is terribly ugly is it not? ) In fairness, the jacket itself was beautiful quality denim with quality construction.

Could this be any uglier?
Awful bling is falling off anyway and needs to go!

This was just the piece to solve the crime

The grey stripe in the skirt is actually a chambray blue

TUTORIAL:

I added panels made from the skirt and used decorative topstitch for a custom look
I added flannel lining to cover up the stitching inside and add warmth
The inside lining is hand stitched with embroidery thread
I love it when there is a happy ending to a fashion crime!

Well there you have it! You are now the judge and the jury. Crime solved?

Let me know!

Happy Refashioning…
