Project D.I.Y. Up-Cycling

Photo credit: Berge Wazirian

The concept behind up cycling and renewing your garments is to find something you don’t want in your closet. Instead of throwing it away, you create something new and add value to it.

I was going through some old clothes and found this 20 years old sleeveless jacket with its bulging raw edged shoulders that belongs to my mom.

I thought to myself this would look very hip if I made some changes and revamped the whole look.

I decided I was going to tighten from the sides to make it more fitted, change the buttons to something more current and remove the chain holder from the upper right pocket.

I am going to keep the puffed up shoulders since they are very stylish and sharp looking (I love the very ‘in’ raw edged shoulders).

I will be posting pictures of the transformation in progress so STAY TUNED to see the write up about this small up cycling project :)

Love,
