My oldest son is a fashion guy. Great style all his life. Recently he and his girlfriend were off to a wedding and he wanted a new jacket. He asked if I might give it a try. Men's clothing is not my refashion standard by any means. He had some specifics, double vent back, fitted, dressy... and so I found a jacket just a bit too big for him and here is the result of my efforts.
The collar became the cross piece and so to cover the interfacing around the neck, I used all the scrap.
Not a single piece of fabric left. I'm pretty proud of that.
That's sick! I love it, and want to make one for my hubby ;) Great great great job, and high five on no scraps left behind :) I'm inspired, impressed, and jealous that you did this first ;)
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that your son gave you the opportunity to stretch your REinventing talent - you both did each other proud as the Jacket is stunning and he looks amazing in it!
ReplyDeleteIt's not easy to refashion for young men - trust me, I have two sons and I miss the mark more than make it most times - this is awesome, and doubly so for using up everything that you cut from the jacket. It's interesting, it's creative, it's perfectly fitting - a huge success!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! That is AMAZING! He ROCKS that jacket! Great job :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! Very original. Well done!
ReplyDeleteWow! is right.
