Bored of wearing track pants and basic garments? Is your confinement look starting to play on your spirit? On my part, I need a good dose of fashion FUN. Here’s the good news, my studio is exploding of refashion projects waiting.
First, there is this Zara jeans coat that I bought at Renaissance a few years ago. I wore it a bit at first. It’s not that bad, you might tell me. Yes, but it has this weird detail on the back. The back is longer than the front, and has a bit of volume, as if the coat should have covered my but. But it doesn’t cover it up and leaves me in a not-so-flattering shape. Anyway, it’s today that the coat goes under the knife, I want to have fun with it!
D’autre part, il y a quelques années, j’avais passé au bistouri une robe de marié démodé. Je l’avais transformé en jupe plutôt satisfaisante. Le corset était taché, déchiré, j’avais dû le jeter. Je regrette tellement de ne pas avoir de photo de la robe dans son état original…elle était atroce, pauvre d’elle. Je suis resté avec les manches que j’ai toujours gardés, car elles m’inspirent! C’est aujourd’hui que je vais me faire du fun avec!
Ready? This is the day I’m going to have fun with them!

STEP 1 – REMOVE COLLAR
The first thing to do to have fun with your jeans coat is to remove the collar. Done quickly this is an easy no sew DIY, just needs a good seam ripper.
STEP 2- REMOVE WAISTBAND
The second fun thing to do to jazz up your jeans coat is to remove the waistband.
STEP 3- CROP THE JACKET
Personally, I like wearing high waisted jeans, and I think a short jacket with a high waist looks great. Shortening your jeans coat and leaving the hemline frayed is something fun to do, too.
If you’ve had enough fun like this, you can stop right there. As far as I’m concerned, I craving a bit more fun than this! I also have my two wedding sleeves in mind and I really want to integrate them into the jacket! Let’s get started!
STEP 4 – REDESIGN THE SLEEVES
First, unstitch the sleeve and then open it flat. Do the same for the wedding dress sleeve. Then attach each side of the sleeve to the denim sleeve. Better to listen to the video to understand how, because I miss some pictures of the process;)
STEP 5 – STITCH BACK ON THE SLEEVES
I like nice finishes so I decided to make a fin a binding with twill tape over the seam allowance.
You're done!
LAST STEP - WEAR WITH SATISFACTION:)
Je trouve le résultat phénoménal! Qu’en dis-tu?
