I used the leftover wool to make baby shoes. I have more wool so I will probably make more. I just find them darling. And wahoo for using up scraps of fabric and buttons from old refashions!

Red Coat Refashion plus bonus baby shoes
I found this red coat at one of those by-the-pound thrift stores and I don't even think I paid $2 for it. It was a fabulous red. But just sooo oversized. Ill-fitting. And also was a bit odd. I undid the lining. Slimmed down the sleeves and the waist area. I then fixed the pockets to be side pockets. Plus I visually fixed the buttons. Everything was finished with bias tape.

Cuuuuute baby shoes! And the remake on the coat is amazing :) What a transformation! I've got a spring jacket that I need to do this to...just working up the courage to deal with all of the downsizing!
Love that colour. Good idea for turning the pockets.
cute shoes.

Those shoes!!!! So cute! I love that you used the extra fabric for something so neat.
You are amazing. I envy your talent and creativity. Great job!
I've never refashioned a coat before (a bit chicken maybe?) but now I really want to. Your projects turned out so well!
