Patchwork Cropped Jacket

Rags are a wonderful thing!

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/patchwork-cropped-jacket • Posted by Anna S.

My boyfriend bought a 25 pound bag of rags for working on his motorcycle, and it's essentially just old clothes that have been torn into bits. Wouldn't ya know it, there was some cute stuff in there! The smallish pieces limited what I could do, so I went with a patchwork design. The plaid thermal and mauve ribknit are from the rag bag, and the yellow jersey is a bedsheet I'd already cut up for something else. The buttons are from my awesomely huge stash of thrift store buttons. I altered BurdaStyle's Lydia and drafted a basic 12x12 inch hood shape to make this.
