Here’s two fabulously simple fixes for those yawn inducing cool weather coats hiding at the back of your closet:
smashing jackets…refashion those coats!
let’s get makin’!
I scored this rather boring denim blazer for only €1.
and this is why I snagged it!
Isn’t that embroidery fabulous?
– I wasn’t sure if I’d ever wear the jacket but I knew that fantastic detail would absolutely be put to good use!
I wanted that embroidery for another jacket but also wanted to salvage the blazer so I grabbed a doily large enough to cover the fab detail and pinned it in place.
zigzagged it on as close to the edge as possible (& then over-stitched with a wider zigzag for extra strength).
and carefully chopped out my prize leaving the lovely lace in its place!
The jacket was still much too humdrum for my taste so I added some vintage lace around one of the sleeves & both cuffs.
and, just like my Altered Denim vest, created an adorable little brooch from the scrappy remains!
lovely
Next I grabbed my cool yet boring faux-vintage-army-jacket.
plonked the lurvly patch on the back.
and stitched it on.
simply awesome!

Beautiful! Love the army jacket!!
Thanks Johanna! I hope all is fabulous in your corner of the world and your newest adorable addition is enjoying the snuggles of her big brothers & sister =O)
We are doing just great now, finally finding a new normal with all 4 cuties. The little one is called Happy by her sister 🙂 They are so sweet together! I’m really lucky they don’t have much rivalry between them. Good to be back here and to see you all again. So much inspiration 🙂 Have a great day!
