Shabby Chic Denim Jacket

August 26, 2023 By Mary Peterson 2 Comments

Hello Everyone!

This time I decided to let the machine do the embroidery. Take a look!

AFTER–My latest jacket

As you know, I am an avid thrift shopper and I started to sell some of my finds to create a little extra income. Shipping was/is easy and I didn’t want to mess around with returns. Happily, I found out that I could sell my upcycles on this platform and I was ready to give it a try! This was my summer project/experiment and I am hoping for a good reaction. Take a look in my “closet” and you will find some of my original jackets and other goodies that I have curated over the summer.

The prices on my jackets are firm and cover the cost of the jacket, materials, and labor for the upcycling. There is a modest markup to make a profit to continue the work. Keep in mind, Poshmark takes a cut from the profit and shipping is extra at a standard flat rate of $7.97. Also, please know that all sales are final so make sure to message me through Poshmark to get any measurements that you may need and ask any questions before you buy. Sorry but I cannot ship internationally.

I can’t wait to see what you all think. Talk to me!

Happy Refashioning!

    Love your denim jackets especially the tapestry ones. I am a 16-18 shirt, do you carry my size?

      Hi Nancy,
      No, Unfortunately, I do not sell anything. My website is simply a hobby. But thanks! So glad you enjoy my work.
