New in thee shop: Upcycled Denim Patchwork Jean Jacket Kimono Duster

 

Something new, something all blue! I wanted to make something different and came across this pattern for a patchwork / color block kimono style jacket. I thought it would be a perfect base with standard sizing. I made a medium size with about a 44" width (it's supposed to be a loose fit).

Of course I added more patchwork to it though and created this one of a kind piece. I used lighter weight denim and denim-look materials like lyocell and tencel. It is like an open front cardigan so no closures of any kind. There is a pocket on the right side and the whole thing is unlined to keep it from being heavy.

You can find this jacket in the shop here.
