  • Do you want a versatile piece of wearable art to jazz up your wardrobe? Make and decorate a denim vest...on a dime! In this DIY video, we will take a plain thrifted jean jacket and create an eclectic piece of boho wearable art. First, we create the shape with some creative cutting. Next, we add beautiful embellishments to create a collage that has a vintage, old world vibe. Materials are mostly thrifted and include: lace, fabric scraps, appliques cut from pillow covers and fabric, fringe from scarves and so much more! I do my very best, to explain very clearly, every step along the way. Great project for beginners and a fun group project! Enjoy!

    I think what is underestimated is your glorious colour matching and seamless coordinating. That’s what I admire. You pull together things which initially look as if they should not go together… but in your hands, they do. You have an innate colour sense which is a joy. 🤩
