Found this Westbound windbreaker with an interesting mesh lining that had the feel that I was looking for.
Proceeded to remove the lining carefully from the jacket, tried to keep it in tact , as much as possible
This will seem a lot larger , that's okay we will trim it down later
Found this slightly heavier cotton jacket that had the sweet 80's grandmother feel, yet still
Very busy in pattern with fun colors being shown in Spring summer collection for 2014.
Next I cut a half circle from under the armpit to the front buttons, leaving space to sew on other pieces of fabric
This is the back view , cut at the same angle. Do this on both sides of the jacket.
Found pieces that measure 12 inches by 4 inches , depending on the size of the jacket you are cutting up, you will need 4 pieces that measure the same size, in turn covering all the raw edges from the cuts done on the jacket. Find fun contrasting colors and designs to enhance the newness of your creation..be daring!
The pieces of fabric that make up a total of 4 pieces.
Then continue to pin and sew the seam from the jacket to the seam of one of the four panels
It should look like this in the front, when you sew the edges together
Sew then the two panels together at the side of the jacket
I also proceeded to shorten the sleeves, it gives it a lighter feel
Taking off a bit of the weight.
This is the final outcome of the reimagined jacket
Next I added the mesh from the windbreaker over the jacket as a
Second layer, after the next two images.
