Leather Bomber Jacket Refashion
September 8, 2010 8:29 amFirst off, thank you all for your sweet support on my Fall Collection. Since you have all been along with me on this journey, I couldn’t wait to share it with all my amazing supporters. Now, Back to business…
I found this “leather” coat that I thought was really cute. I liked the cut of it and the cute details it had.
It had this cute ruffled collar on it. But I loooove versatility in pieces.
I really like the way a bomber collar looks on leather jackets, but I know I wouldn’t want it there all the time. So here’s what I did…
I went to the Thrift Store and found another jacket that had a collar that I liked on it. I cut it off the jacket.
Then I took the one side of the button strip that was down the front of the thrift store jacket and sewed it to the collar.
Then I sewed the back part of the button strip on the inside of the jacket’s collar.
Now I can snap it on whenever I want the bomber collar look!
I love the high collar in the back.
Have a Tim Gunn moment and “Make it work”. :)

I have this jacket in white! Very cute collar that you added. I will have to say though that my favorite part of my jacket is the ruffle
