Jean Jacket_Alteration ideas

I have found a cute jean jacket for my daughter at the thrift store for $6.
I liked the dark wash, but the sleeves were way too long and had holes at elbows.
I decided to cut the sleeve and move the cuffs up to keep the original jacket look.
In one hour the jacket was transformed and looked like new.

 

From old to new

Having so much clothes in house sometime can be a problem, however, you alway can use them as materials fro something new.
Two old jeans and a three tiered skirt became a brand new outfit for my daughter.
She loved her denim jacket and a sun dress!
To make a dress, any tank-top can be used as s size reference for the top.
A plaid lining, which also was a casual shirt before, was added to the jacket to cover raw seams and
I also used it to make inside front pockets with button closures.
And one more fact- if you don't have denim spans, you probably can find a jacket at the thrift store which has buttons what you are looking for.
I paid only $5.60 for a white jacket which had 12 metal  very nice button which were perfect for the denim jacket I made.

   

Transformation of Traditional Indian clothes

I could not pass by the traditional Indian two-piece set at the thrift store, something about it made me love it.The half off price helped me to make a decision faster and I purchased it.

Even though it was designed and sewn for 8-10 years girl, I had enough materials to alter it for my size:

Sleeves became the side panels;

The silk bottom was cut into facings to finish armholes and hem;

The scratched beads were replaced with new beads.

Besides the garment was fully lined!

I love challenging projects and I will definitely enjoy wearing my new creation.
