I've had this Free People utility jacket (left pic) for the longest time, but never really wore it because the sleeves were super long! They measured at 25" in length and my arms are only 21.5" long. Every time I wore the jacket, I would have to roll up the sleeves and then they'd eventually unroll throughout the day and I'd have to roll them back up again. So annoying! I've been wanting to change out the sleeves and didn't have the the right fabric, until recently when I found a pleather fabric that was thin enough to go through my little table top sewing machine!! I love this fabric and want to add pleather details to all my clothes now. :D

H&M Top | AE Jeans (similar here in petite) | Asos Henley Sandals. Size 5. Runs 1/2 too big.
P.S. - In the last post, I mentioned ordering a circle pleather skirt from F21. I just got it and the size xs actually fits in the waist (measures at 24.5")! See pic here.

OMG..What a beautiful job! I am glad you can re-wear your jacket now. It looks amazing on you.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Ping!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! It was a nice balance to pair with the dainty heels.
ReplyDeleteI love the updated jacket! Leather sleeves have been trendy for the past year or two. It's great that you changed an old jacket that didn't fit well into something that looks store-bought and looks amazing on you. : )
ReplyDeleteCool casual jacket ;)!

Ah-mazing! I think this is my favorite sewing project of yours to date. I really like how the neon zipper track looks with the olive and leather too.
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job! Love the neon zipper.
