My Gray Trench Jacket/Recycle for a purse

[Lesalicious]

I decided to stop putting this jacket on hold that I have been working on and off of for about 2 months now. So after getting inspired I decided to finish it up.

 

Loved how it turned out. It's light weight so I can wear this around spring time.

 

Oh by the way no pattern used I mainly just used a old jacket as my guildline and took what I know about sewing and just went for it.

Ok I did a recycle project also took some old jeans these here.

 

And made this here purse

 

 

 

 

It came out nicely well. I have a zipper for closure. 2 buttons to hold up the strap I did something totally different then I ever have with that.

 

So what you all think of my latest sewing projects.

 

I am trying to bring in the new year with a blast.

I am amazed that you made such a great jacket without a pattern. I've been sewing for years, and wouldn't dream of trying anything like that.

Cool purse too....

What a wonderful jacket! You will really love wearing this — very practical but the sense of satisfaction that you did it yourself will be best. The purse is very cute. I see people do these all the time but have never tried it myself. Congratulations on such well-executed projects, Lesa!

You did great on both projects! I love your new jacket though. It looks like you bought it. It must bring a smile to your face when you wear it

[pasteeater]

Wow! I wish I could sew like that. I have a perfectly new machine that I can't figure out!

[Lesalicious]

Aww thanks everyone. I totally love it when you can make something and wear it and be the only one with what you have on I don't never have to worry about no one else having on this jacket like mines.

 

Thanks for the kind words.
