How to Make Recycled Jackets

 

Instead of throwing out those old clothes piling up in your closet, use a simple belstaff leather jacket pattern to rework them into an environmentally friendly jacket. This project can be very easy to do if you're going for a simple jacket without a lining -- simply follow the pattern, cut your fabric to size and sew. If you're looking for a heavy coat with a lining, buttons or zippers, then the job will require a bit of extra work.

Instructions

1. Rummage through the closets in your home and separate clothes that don't fit or are damaged.

2. Decide what kind of belstaffssale mens jacket you'd like to make. Will it be lightweight, heavy, structured, patchwork or something else? If you have a lot of old denim, think of making a patchwork denim jacket.

3. Choose a jacket pattern that you like and that has all the features you're looking for like pockets, a hood, etc.

4. Separate the clothes you'll be using. Stick with the same type of fabric -- preferably thicker fabrics -- in the exact, or a similar, color.

5. Purchase matching thread and any accessories you want to incorporate, like buttons and a zipper.

6. Cut the pattern pieces out, paying special attention to cut along the correct line for your size. If you want to make a jacket that can fit over other heavy garments, go one size up.

7. Iron the clothes you're using to make them as flat and wrinkle-free as possible. Use the steam feature on your iron if you've got it.

8. Follow the jacket pattern directions to pin each section to a piece of fabric and cut it out. Avoid using pieces of fabric at or near the hemline. Don't worry if you don't have whole pieces of fabric big enough to cover each section of the pattern; you can sew smaller patches together for a stylish patchwork effect that will still work just fine.

9. Follow the guide on your belstaff jackets sale pattern to complete the sewing. If you're working with denim, avoid hand stitching -- it's quite difficult and tedious -- and just use your sewing machine for the entire project.
