Everyone has that old piece of clothing that could use some sprucing up and today Sharon Madsen at WeAllSew is going to show you one such example of how to do just that. See how she takes a tired old denim jacket and turns it into a "one-of-a-kind boho-inspired denim jacket" that'll knock the socks off of anyone who sees you wearing it. Whether you are a new or experienced quilter, you can take these techniques and apply them to your closet to transform your wardrobe from shabby to chic!

From Sharon Madsen at WeAllSew:

"Show off your artistic side when you create this one-of-a-kind boho-inspired denim jacket.  Whether you’re an experienced quilter or new to the art, this project will have you wanting to upcycle all the jackets you can find! Plus, it’s a great scrap-buster project, which means every jacket you make will be unique.  Create one for yourself and one (or more!) as a gift.

Hello everyone! It’s Sharon from Sharon Sews and I’m going to show you how to turn a plain denim jacket into a work of art with a simple quilt technique, combined with lace and trim.

The center back of this jacket features a heart created using a scrappy string quilt technique. The same technique is used to embellish the yoke. The finishing touch is adding a variety of laces and trims to frame the heart.

Let’s get started!"
