A Wool blanket becomes a warm jacket

Before:   This is a large, old blanket made of wool. It´s blue/grey and black.

I wanted to make a jacket for myself, and so I did!
















Below you can see the result. I used a long zipper and some fake leather on the edge of the collar and the pockets.



You can find more of my projects on my blog; ( it is in Norwegian, but you still see the pictures..)

Beautifully done! You would never know it was a blanket before you got your hands on it.

It looks amazing- like a riding jacket! I am in love with that patterned leather as well! Excellent job!
