I've finally started getting my apartment in order ready for the move, just to give you an example of how much clothing I have, here's a little scene from my life: (names have not been changed to protect the innocent!)
Lacey: Wow you have a lot of fabric in your room
Jeannette: No Lacey that's all clothes
Lacey: (Raises eyebrows nervously) All of it? Ohhhh
So it's taking a long time to get fabric/clothing and general crap in to some semblance of order!
Anyway, I picked this up during my thrift store trip for the Ugly to Awesome craftster challenge, at the time I couldn't think what to make of it but it finally hit me. I hacked off the top of the jacket, folded 4 inches down and zig zag stitched two lines giving me a channel for some elastic which gave it the great scrunched up look , I changed up the buttons and wam bam thank you Mam a comfy skirt to add to my wittled down, half packed away for the move wardrobe.
Ugly before shot

I love this skirt from jacket remake. It looks like it will be fab summer wardrobe staple.
Fantastic skirt! Who would have guessed it was a jacket before?
My hubby is one of those crazy Canucks you were mentioning in your blog. He was wearing a short sleeves tee and shorts yesterday when it was 4 Celsius....
Wow, great job. And your jacket description is hilarious.
More proof that even the most unflattering garment can be transformed into something great.
