#46 Back to School Wardrobe: Purple Chico Jacket to Spring Vest

REFLECTIONS:

• Winter Core Wardrobe included items in the closet and Re-fash Stash. Core included Grey/Black with Pinks, Wines, Greens.
• Spring Core Wardrobe will include Spring Colors and transition fabrics.

BEFORE:

• Too small purple Chico’s cordless corduroy jacket from the Re-Fashion stash.  Probably from Goodwill by the pound. 
• Versatile color and weight for the Spring wardrobe.  

STEPS:  

• Seam rip to remove sleeves and open side seams.
• Serge all seams.
• Cut / insert panel cut from sleeves into the side of the vest. Press / topstitch panel seams.
• Use old t-shirt to cut facings for armholes. Cut facings across the shirt. There is enough stretch. Cut on the bias might be too much stretch.

AFTER: Versatile vest for the Spring Wardrobe.
