Jeans - Jean Jacket
One way to use up several pairs of old jeans. This is Silhouette Patterns # 900.The original plan called for a zip in place of buttons up the front placket. I cut the excess zipper and used it for the yoke red stripe across the shoulders. Now I am not sure I want to bother putting the zip in. The waist button does a decent job. The waist is the jeans waistband -upside down.
Thanks for pushing me to post this, just another way to recycle those jeans.

1135Ingenious idea! The whole concept is great and the jacket is lovely. I like the touch of red provided by your clever use of the zipper.
5347What a clever idea for re-using jeans! You've done a wonderful stitchery job as well. Thanks for sharing your work with us.

119791Great job! I'm a big fan of recycling jeans - there is always a fair bit of good fabric on a pair that is worn out.
38558Now , this is what I call talent. You have done the most remarkable job. The jacket looks fantastic. Well done. Sarah
255049This jeans jacket you've made is so attractive& with the addition of the detailing I might call it upcycling. Thanks for sharing your work& the pattern info too. :~D
6951How clever this idea is and it turned out excellent, in my humble opinion. Really like the upcycling and the zipper idea for the yoke. You could definitely give some of the haute couture a run for the money. :)
35301It looks great, love the contrast of the cuff and lapels. It certainly looks designer to me.
23282Great job recycle. I love your jacket you look great in it. I don't like zippers either.

I had planned to embroider the Meerkats from Smart Needle - with out the pocket. But the panels are too narrow. I could not get this link to publish originally.

15871410909Love love your jacket.. only one thing wrong not sure it will fit me ;-) .. I am so glad you shared the pictures.. and what pattern you used.. Thanks for the encouragement. O' it looks great without a zipper in front. so would say that is strictly up to you..guess that would go under what Peggy calls 'style choice'

2995593184258037Hey, what a good looking woman in such a lovely jacket. And a good
idea to add some flower fabric for the female touch.
Do you have in mind to add some embroidered flowers in the same
colour on the jeans fabric? But it also looks good the way it is.
Congrats and thanks for sharing - Ma ria
