Original Idea
Note, not all great ideas actually work! I figured that our real quick after laying the pattern pieces onto the shirt itself. So creative genius that I am, I decided to make my own based on what I saw but actually utilizing the shirt itself. After an hour of studying it, using masking tape to get an idea of how I could create my amazing and fabulous idea I took the scissors to it.
Drum Roll Please
Ladies and Gentleman, behold an adorable, very girly jacket!
As you can see I dressed the back up too....who said the back had to be boring?
Added a few fun and different pocket details just to spruce it up a bit!
Close up of my amazing humming bird Applique with ivory lace.
Dressed up the sleeves as well with the same lace that is on the pocket and the back! Got to tie things together you know!

| Yes there are still strings...after 5 hours of sewing I figured I could trim strings tomorrow! See now you can't complain, silly people! |
Now I love using interesting things for closures, so I found an old gold leaf pin. Snaps are underneath and this vintage pin is the decor! How is that for unique and different? I think it is pretty Awe-mazing and no you won't find anything else like it!
The flower print fabric is the lining for the shirt as well. Yes I lined it, and by accident I got the awesome border for the front as well. I love it when that happens. Accidents can be pretty nifty at times! All the seams on the inside are finished with beautiful ribbon, shhh its hemming ribbon but it works wonders. There are no raw or unfinished seams in this creation which I feel makes something really nice and it looks amazing.
So there you have it. My magical transformation of a used western denim shirt. Not bad if I say so myself!
