Add a Quilt Piece to a JAcket

 Hello Refashion Co-op. I found this jacket at a church sale and wanted to jazz it up. I added a piece of a quilt in the back of the jacket. 

I cut out the back panel and replaced it with a piece of a quilt I had on had. 

I used the back panel that I had cut out as the pattern for my new piece. I cut the quilt piece slightly larger so that it would fill in the opening completely. 

This was a fun refashion. Thanks for reading along, for more pictures and how-to details go to I Can Work With That.

Wrap Top to Tie Front Top

 Hello Refashion Co-op. I knew what I wanted to make the second I saw this wrap top. It seemed like it would be very easy to change it to a top with ties down the front. 

Before and after.

The first thing I did was unpick a lot of stitches. This took a while. I had to
open the front of the shirt. 
 
I made the 2 sides straight and then I got the waist tie. It was perfect for making the ties to close the front. 
 
The new top is fun and trendy. Thanks for reading along, for more pictures and how-to details go to I Can Work With That.
