How To Upcycle An Old Coat With Floral Appliques and Ruffles

In this upcycling DIY video, we will be upcycling a pre owned jacket and creating a beautiful piece of wearable art. Mine was bought pre owned, maybe you have an old coat or jacket in your closet that needs jazzing up, this is a wonderful way to breathe new life into a tired old garment. This coat is all about the purple! The lovely purple flowers are cut from an old curtain, fusible interfacing is added to them and then they are sewn to the coat...I will show you in great detail, every little step. I have also added, what I call balloon ruffles to the sleeves and hemline. These ruffles are made from thrifted vintage linen. We cut the coat to create a high low design, and cut the sleeves for a vintage looking 3/4 length sleeve and sew the ruffle to it. Such a fun and beautiful project, hope you enjoy!
