Plaid Jacket tutorial
Do you like plaid? I'm usually all for monochromatic coats but I found this great material that I just couldn't resist (especially at the bargain price of 3$) so I bought it, combined it with some red material I had for some time and the result, well...I kinda love it

Step 1
I used a cardigan- that has seen better days, and I was no longer wearing it but I love the silhouette- as a pattern- usually I use my old clothes as patterns. This is the front of the jacket
Step 2
and the back
Step 3
I made a second jacket from the red material, which was going to be the lining. after the two coats were done I put the two jackets over each other, wrong sides facing, left an opening at the neckline and turned it inside out after having sewn them together.
Step 4
the collar
Step 5
again, wrong sides facing, the white lace that was going to show was sewn in between the two layers
Step 6
and for the closure of the jacket I made a brooch from the same materials, using a safety pin to pin it in place.
Step 7
the back of the brooch
Step 8
So long story short...this is my jacket.
