Denim Jacket Upgrade
If you have a rather boring jeans jacket or an almost new, but boring cut, then transform it. See how you can change such a thing by comparing what has been and what has become.
For a jeans jacket to change so much, you will need to prepare what is needed. It:
- old jeans;
- jacket;
- fabric paint;
- brushes;
- disappearing marker;
- ruler;
- nail scissors;
- pins;
- tailor's scissors;

This jacket is too long, so you need to cut the bottom off. Stripe the sleeves, waistband, cuffs, and the inside of the collar.
From old jeans you need to cut out details that will be sewn inside the jacket. Open them, attach to each part of the sleeves, circle and cut.
You will also need to duplicate the shelves, for this, attach tracing paper to them, circle, then cut these parts out of old jeans.
Sew these elements to the wrong side of the jacket and sleeves. At the neckline, stitch the details of the jacket with the collar.
Since this jacket will have fashionable cuts, you need to designate them. To prevent the jacket from spreading, draw the lines of the future stitches diagonally. Use a water-washable marker or crayon for this. Subsequently, you will cut between the stitches.
Make them. Tie knots on the back. Then you will need to carefully cut between the lines with nail scissors so that only the outer jeans are touched, and the lining remains intact.
Rub the foam around the slots until they look like this.
Sew a belt at the bottom of the jacket. If it is long, then cut it in the middle and connect the two pieces.
Draw with water washable marker the images you would like to see on the jacket.
Now you need to color them using several shades.
Use fabric paint to paint jeans. To then fix this covering, you will need to iron the finished drawings with an iron.

First you need to cut out the central part of each boot and sew on this place either a rather wide elastic band, or a cut of the jacket sleeves.
Reverse stitched seams from old jeans or an unwanted jacket made of such material and baste them on boots to decorate the stitches in this way.
If you want the bootleg to be high, then extend it also with a jacket that is the same color as the denim boots.
Cut two tops out of the fabric of the jacket. Sew each to the boot on your hands.
Now we need to draw almost the same cats as on the jacket. Here they are used to decorate the front, back and side parts. Color in the drawing, after which you can put on stylish boots.
After such needlework, there are usually a lot of scraps left. You can make a stylish bag out of them.

Now you can cut the parts by attaching them to the jeans. You will also need a variety of rivets, belt fasteners, zippers.
If you want to decorate a pocket, then sew an element of textile decor to it. On the reverse side, attach the braid across the center and stitch it.
Then you will need to attach the ring so that you can then use it to close the pocket.
You can make this element of the backpack in a different way. Place a lining fabric on the right side and sew to match the shape of the future zipper hole.

- light cord;
- pieces of black and green leather;
- threads;
- pins.
Cut a circle out of denim. Sew on it an anchor emblem, cut from leather in two colors.
Cut out the ring segments from the jeans scraps. To make it easier to do this, first draw a ring on the newspaper, then draw it to make four lighter and 4 darker tones. That is, in total you need to make two templates. One by one you will cut out large light fragments, and in another way - small dark ones.
Cut the lengths from the scarlet cord or thin narrow braid. You will sew them to two different fragments of a denim ring, so that you can then get a single piece.
Sew this blank with a sewing machine.
To keep the threads from unraveling, pass the foot back and forth at the beginning and end of the seam. This will secure the threads.
In the center of the resulting jeans ring, sew a circle with an anchor.
Cut a circle out of the side of your jeans to keep your backpack durable and have internal pockets. It will need to be sewn on as a lining for the backpack.
Baste the fasteners here.
Cut two strips out of jeans and red fabric, Match them in pairs so that the canvas of different colors is one above the other. Place a zipper between them, which then needs to be sewn to this part.
Now you need to sew the resulting tape with a zipper to the side of the backpack. Cut a circle out of the red fabric, then connect it to the jeans circle with a zipper strip.
When sweeping 2 round parts, leave a small gap so that you can then fill the lifebuoy with a padding polyester through it.
It should only be put into the sidewalls, and the central circle must be sewn in advance by connecting the front and backing parts.

Cut a circle out of cardboard, put a piece of jeans on it. It should be of such a size that it fits onto the paper base. Place a padding polyester between these two materials, wrap the edges of the jeans on the wrong side of the cardboard and sew the fabric here.
Tighten the thread and secure it from the back. There will be decorations on the front. Take a strip of lace, gather its large edge onto a thread, and tighten to make a circle. Sew it onto a jeans brooch.
Now take lace of a different color, also collect it on a thread, but tighten it tighter. Then you get a small circle that you need to put in the middle of the first one and sew to the denim.
From the same cornflower blue lace ribbon, you need to create another flower, but of a larger size, and sew it on the outside of the white blank.
Sew on a metal leaf, and then attach a metal flower next to it.

When you were making, you probably have the seams from the jeans. Cut them out, twist each section into a tight circle. Glue the tips.
Since the seams are of different lengths, you will end up with circles of different diameters. Now you need to glue them to the base. To do this, you need to cut out a part of the pocket so that at the bottom and side it remains the same as it was, and on top you will make it semicircular.
Start glueing first with large circles, and then place small ones between them. Here's what you should get.
Now you need to take a rather long strip of seam and glue it on one side and the other of the decoration. Hide the joints of these two elements by wrapping them with twine.

When applying these templates to jeans, cut one small and one large flower from this material, as well as one small and one large from guipure. 5 petals need to be cut out of denim according to the pattern.
Now you need to collect the flower. To do this, place a large guipure flower on a large denim flower, then place a small denim flower on top, and then a small guipure flower.
Cut out three circles from guipure, the diameter of which is 4 cm. Fold them four times and sew together. This will create the core of the flower. Now cut out the base of an oval shape from the jeans, measuring 7 by 17 cm. You will need 2 of these.
On the side you need to attach a piece of guipure and cut it out, and on top place a flower made of jeans and guipure, and in the center of it you need to put a core made of three guipure circles. Place the jeans flower created from 5 petals almost in the center. You can decorate the core with fittings.
Glue a hat elastic on the back to keep the band in place.
Put the second oval base on the seamy side, glue it here. Now you can try on a new thing.
You can make an interesting neck decoration from the seams of jeans. To do this, you need to rip off the belt from the old jeans and cut off the loop into which the button was threaded.
