Look what became of those hand warmer scraps:
meet my quirktastically cool new jacket!
Here’s what I did:
I snagged this almost-forgotten-well-worn corduroy jacket from the storage room
slipped the remaining front of the hand warmer coat over top of it & checked the fit
removed the zipper & chopped the front panels to size
pinned them onto the front
and carefully stitched them on
as the fabric beside the zipper was too thick for my poor retro machine to get through, I machine sewed as close to the edge as possible & then securely blanket stitched the thick sides together using a funky green embroidery thread
I freaking love my ‘new’ jacket!

Why thank-you Erin 😀 My poor retro sewing machine wasn’t too happy to work on this project but the outcome was completely worth the frustration 😉
This is very cute! I like the recycling of old jackets…..
Thanks very much Elaine…I am thrilled with the fabulous result 😀
