Creating a one-of-a-kind tuxedo jacket! This is the perfect unique layering piece for cooler weather. In this tutorial we will make a long jacket using thrift store finds, like: a flannel shirt, old corduroy quilt, other flannel remnants and small floral patches. I always try to explain every step in easy-to-understand language. Techniques we will be implementing are: bleaching flannel, patching, creating a flounce style tail (bottom of jacket) and more. Whether you are creating your own unique wardrobe or are an entrepreneur and sell your wearable art (like I did for soooo many years), I think you will find this piece fairly easy to make and the variations of fabrics and patterns you could use are infinite. Make it your own unique style and have fun!
