My little granddaughter loves anything to do with kittens. So its only natural that she would also love anything to do with Hello Kitty. Christmas came early this year due to a Thanksgiving visit from the grandkids instead of a Christmas visit (due to baby sister who is due around Christmastime.) We'll miss them at Christmas, but we had lots of fun with them this past week!
I try to make as many gifts as possible each year. I looked at Hello Kitty denim jackets in the stores and figured with a price tag of $25-$35, this would be a good handmade gift...or at least a refashioned gift!
I started with a thrifted denim jacket and Hello Kitty tank top. Both were in excellent condition and only set me back a total of $5.
And this is what I ended up with after appliqueing the front of the t-shirt to the back, and appliqueing the t-shirt label to the front.
You can see the step-by-step tutorial on my blog, Second Chances by Susan.
Happy Holidays!

This is seriously cute! My niece loves Hello Kitty and I'm sure, would love this jacket :) Much better than the store-bought versions as it is one of a kind! (and cheaper doesn't hurt either) May have to copycat this one.
What a fabulous way to customize a basic garment! And your granddaughter looks like she appreciated it a lot. Congrats on the grandbaby-to-come!
