A few months ago I bought this jacket at a thrift store. It was a Jr. size so it would not fit anyone around here. But it had some unique features and I figured we could transform it into something else. Since we have not done a “transform it” project for a while, I was ready to tackle the jacket this week. The problem was in deciding how to do it. So I followed Melinda’s advice, “Don’t be afraid of scissors. Sometimes you can’t see the potential until you make the first cut.” I made a bunch of cuts!It was easier to play around with the cut pieces to come up with a plan. I added print fabric from my stash to accent the denim as well as line the bag. Here is what this jacket transformed into:

Added quilting stitches with embroidery floss around some of the fabric design

There are still some useable pieces left (like a long zipper) that can be used on another project. 

What transformation projects have you been working on?
