I had envisioned
this jacket for to many years and finally took on the challenge to make it…
The jacket was given to me from my Mom for it was to big for her...even after taking off the cuffs!
I in turn bought some cororoy and cotton woven material and went to work.
First I measured and cut out cuffs and a collar. After cutting bias stripes from the striped cotton they were sewn to the top pieces of each cuff and collar.
ALOT of hand sewing took place after the initial add on. Buttons were placed and I was finished...now for the fitting!
WELL...it fits ok but the sleeves are to long...from top of shoulder to end of cuff...is 26 inches...

SEW...I am in the studio but not working with paper as yet. I have another project in the makings...time will tell when I post it, but it will be soon...KEEP IN TOUCH!

Well this turned out really well. Love the colors you used to dress up the denim. Too bad it didn't fit, but who knows, you might make enough selling it on Ebay for something fun. Glad to see you're back in your shop even if it's not working with paper.
This is FABULOUS! You should definitely make more and sell them! YOu're a WHIZ with that sewing machine! LOVE IT!
Thanks for sharing this in the SMThursday fun!
