Pants become a jacket
18/06/08 10:29
My latest project is
quite a big step for me, but I am really happy with
how it is growing. I've decided to just make it as I
go and follow my inspiration. I have used two pairs
of pants to create a jacket, and I have posted a
picture of it as it is now, and will update as I add
more to it. It is evolving, like all of my handmade
creations. The green tie around the waist isn't sewn
on at this stage, I am still deciding on the bottom
half of the design. I would love to hear any
comments.
20/06/08 - Have been thinking of an idea for you all out there that may want a bag or jacket out of some jeans, pants that no longer fit but you still love. If you send them to me with an agreed payment and an idea of what you like, I can refashion and recycle your clothing into something you can use. If you are interested, email me at info@yourmantras.com and we can work from there! Progress on the jacket is moving along, it's looking better. I will add another picture shortly.

23/06/08 - Ok, below is the jacket as it is now, I am much happier with it, and it is a lot more flattering now. I have really tailored it to fit me now. I have brought the jacket in more at the waist and added the green paneling down the middle. I have pinned in the belt to sew on and pinned the hem to redo as I wasnt happy with it. Very close to finishing it now! Once I have perfected this jacket I will use it as a template for more jackets and waistcoats.
