Since I figured out how to de-mustify my gorgeous kimono scraps I was finally able to put my original DIY Scrap Patchwork Denim Trenchcoat Refashion plan into action:
Fantabulous!
Grab an old jacket + some pretty scraps and create an easy peasy DIY Scrap Patchwork Denim Trenchcoat Refashion for yourself:
I started with a never-worn thrifted denim trench coat.
Then painstakingly arranged, pinned & trimmed a variety of beauteous bits to the front (*note to self: next time use a garment without so many pockets & schnicky-schnacky details to cut around)
Z…zigzagged around all of the edges first with a small, tight stitch.
And then over stitched with a wider zigzag for extra strength (as always).
Lastly, I added a long scrap to the belt & my new favourite jacket was born!

I really love this jacket. It reminds me of my favourite brand, Desigual. That is really gorgeous fabric and I’m so glad you didn’t let it go to waste.
Why thank you Joanne…I love Desigual designs too 😉 I was so glad when I finally figured out my fabric freshening formula and could salvage my fabulous vintage kimono scraps =O)
This is so cool!!!
Danke dude! Give it a go with your scraps…I think it would also be awesome on a pair of jeans or even added to the shoulders of a shirt…so many possibilities!
super cool!
