And, my finished jacket!




I am totally in love with this re-styled jacket!  I was also SO thrilled to get it done in time to enter it into the Pattern Review Refashion/Repurpose Contest!  What a fun batch of projects that have been entered!

    The voting starts on 11/17/2012, so please stop by the Pattern Review site and vote on your favorite!






I am CRAZY about this jacket. It's totally on trend with the mixed media look, but still classic in it's own way. I love the fit, and the fact that it only cost me:

jacket: $4.00 ( half off day!)
fur collar: $.99
sweater: $1.99
1/2 yard faux leather : $4.25 (Joann's $8.49 a yard on sale)
2 7" pocket zippers: $3.25 (Joann's 50% off)
1 18" separating zipper: $4.75 (Joann's 50% off)

And that is why I love to re-style/re-fashion!


                                Thanks for voting at the Pattern Review Contest site starting Saturday!

    Looks so good with the yellow skirt! Bet it would work well with a lot of other pieces. You're going to get a lot ic wear out of this!

    The jacket looks really good on you. Your use of all the different types of fabrics has worked so well - it isn`t easy to do this but your jacket looks so professional.
