One 90’s Jean Jacket + Thrift Shop Collar = Refashioned Jacket

Hi everyone!

One 90's jean jacket +thrift shop collar =Refashioned Jacket4 — The finished project!

Meet my new favorite jean jacket. It started with and old mandarin collar jacket from the late 90’s that had very little shape. I have been holding on to it for a long time hoping the right chance would come along to make it new. I think I found the right mix. Here is the finished project. Then, I’ll show you how I got there.

As the picture states, all I did was add the collar. My second step was to take in the sides, under the armholes, and slightly slim the upper sleeve. From there I was done!

.

I am not done with the tapestry jacket. I have plans to use it for several other projects! More on the way…HAPPY SEWING and REFASHIONING!
