One of a Kind Up-cycled Jackets
I work with a good friend that has access to upholstery samples. She was gracious and shared a box of samples. After sorting and playing with the samples for the last year, I finally came up with a new jacket. Last year I made a sweatshirt jacket using the samples and cutting them into large squares and sashing the blocks. (I wrote a pattern called "Scrapyard Jacket".) The sweatshirt jackets were nice but not as classic as the new jackets. The one shown was sold the same day it was taken to Farmer's Country Store in Lancaster, Ohio. I still have 3 left and limited samples left.
