How To Turn Your Old Jean Jacket Into a Wearable Art Denim Vest
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!

HAPPY EASTER TO YOU AND YOURS TRACEY .😊❤DIAE 🇦🇺🇦🇺🥰
Your style is fabulous. You also are one of the VERY FEW people who give CLEAR instructions and doesn't yak stream of consciousness. Any video called a chat or ramble, i'm skipping. You look wonderfu, and with your guidance, i think i can do this too! Thank you!
Lol aww I appreciate that so much, thank you 🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕
Yak stream of consciousness… that’s hilarious. I hate that, too.
@@Bronte866 cracked me up!🤗🤣💕
absolutely
Wow, I love your style. It’s so fascinating to watch you create. Thanks for your fabulous ideas❤❤❤
I appreciate that so much, thank you 💖💗💓💞💕
I am so addicted to upcycled clothes! Cool trick for cutting the pieces of the back! Thank you so much!
My pleasure! Thank you for reaching out!🤗💕💕💕
На первый взгляд так просто, такая эклектика, всего по не многу, а в итоге красота! Сделаю себе тоже что-нибудь интересное. Спасибо за идею, удачи! ♥️
Thank you 🤗💕💕💕
I love watching these videos. It always starts out with me thinking "ok, where is she going with this" and sometimes "oh no.....really?". But then all of a sudden at the end it's like "oh wow! Fabulous! 😍❤️😍
Lol thank u so so much 🤗💛💕💛💕💛
Hands down, you ARE MY FAVORITE KZheadr!!!!!! I love your videos...your creativity...and I swear I have almost as much fun as you do by just watching😘....thank you Tracy!!!!
Awww!! Thank you so so much 🤗💕💛💕💛
I agree with you absolutely!!! Just to watch is the best start in a day.
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. 🤩
Such a wonderful compliment, thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕
Чудесный образ получился!!!!! Спасибо!!!Добра и Мира!!!!!
Когда-нибудь и я осмелюсь... И сделаю себе такую крутую вещь! Спасибо, что делитесь своим творчеством !
🤗💕💕💕
Doilies & Denim! Seafood green perfect for picking up colour of pillow cover. What a terrific job you did, and how much fun it is to rummage through bits & bobs for the trims & such! Lovely creation. Thanks.🐰🐇🐰🐣🐥🪻💜
Have fun!!!🤗💛💕💛💕
WOW! What a find those beautiful pillow covers
This is my favorite design, so far!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! I need to borrow your creativity for a few! Mine decided to take a 6 month vacation! 🤦♀️ I'm so glad I found your channel! It's been a blessing, getting me back motivated! Thank you for putting in all of the effort that you do! Hope you and yours have a truly blessed Easter!!
Aww thank you so much! So glad you are feeling creative again!🤗💕💕💕💕
Благо Дарю Вас. Великолепная жилетка получилась ⚘🌹⚘🌹⚘👍👍👍👍👍 Очень яркая и необычная .❤👍👍👍 А ещё и в единственном экземпляре .
🤗💕💕💕
I love all of your handmade creations! If it was a bag, a shirt or whatever, it always turns out to be a wonderful piece of art. I wish I knew sbd. like you, were I live...far away in Berlin/Germany. I never find people who have the same interests and compatible taste. Hugs from Holly
I love all your projects you have inspired me to dust off my sewing machine and get busy.
Yayyy! Have fun!!🤗💕💛💕💛
You are just Brilliant! Every project is better than the last.
Aww thank you so so much !🤗💛💛💛💛
Oh I love how your vest came out!!! I have a jacket I’m not sure I like so maybe I can spruce her up!! Thanks for the glorious ideas, you totally rock!!! ❤❤
Have fun!!!🤗💛💕💛💕
You really scored on the pillow covers! I'm jelly...
🤗💕💕💕
once again- blown away by how "too much" looks perfect by the end. The vest was almost like a piece of jewlrey against that white dress- perfect!
🤗💞💞💞💞
I love your style! When I go to see my grandkids, I’m showing them your work. They sew and have their own style.
Aww thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕
Ohhh, busy-busy, but the design integration works really well! I especially like the placement of the butterflies bridging the stock seams to break those strong verticals, while adding color..
first attempt ... made a 1) denim vest and another vest and tried my hand at a flower brooch... LOVED IT! and a couple pairs of jeans ... so fun!
Yayyyyy! Glad you're having fun!!🤗💖💖💖💖
Hi Traci, I’m currently working on a white jean vest. You have given me more ideas on how to mix and match. Your vest came out great! 👍🏼🤗
Yes! Have fun 🤗💛💕💛💕💛
Hope your Easter was Amazingly Blessed Tracey! Your sense of design is so inspiring, things others, lime me, wouldn't think of using together turns out fantastic. We love you, thank you again for all you inspire us to do! Brenda
Awww thank you so much 🤗💛💕💛💕💛💕

Thank you!!🤗💕💕💕💕

Such a great tip on using your fingers nails to help make the pattern on the back, and it fits perfectly. I was trying to figure out how to make one for the back of my denim jacket. Thank you! ❤
Thank you!🤗💖💖💖💖
What a beautiful vest! I just love it. The tulle with the roses - so pretty! I wish I could find some of that. This would make a great gift and initials or any words could be used as well. I like Peter Rabbit so I might need to put him on there, too. Lol. Thank you! ✅

Oh that tea stained pillow cover came out beautiful and looks so great with the turquoise doily! I actually did a wimpy change up to my jeans! I need to add more, and watching your videos makes me braver! Did you see that StitchesbyJulia did a pair of jeans after your videos giving you rave reviews and sharing you with her followers? I thought it was great! Thanks again Traci! I'm going to go watch your butterfly videos you linked for us! Brenda 🪻
Thank you so much! I did see her video, she's a sweety!!!🤗💛💕💛💕💛

Of course, I love this!!!!! Have you ever made a duster with a denim shirt/jacket and put fabric or lace at the bottom? I have seen so many but would love to see what you would make one like. But this denim vest was fantastic! Great job!
I'd have to do some brain storming on that🤗🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Thank you! So inspiring! I love how you are able to boldy put so many different things together on the same garment and the results are always sooo fun!
Thank you lovely Tracey💝💝💝

I love this project. I’ve done a couple of jean jackets, one I covered in vintage/new patches & a white one that I used floral tulle.
Both sound awesome🤗💕💕💕💕
