I recently bought a jean jacket on clearance. Actually, I bought two of them. The price was just too good not to get two and then transform them both.

I don’t wear a lot of denim. I just don’t love it. But I was out shopping/looking with a friend and she took me to her favorite store. I fell in love with a jean jacket there.

I don’t know that I love the jacket. It’s the embroidery I love! It gave me ideas to do something similar. As well, the $300 price tag was a definite no-love.

So with that in mind, and then seeing the clearance. I bought two jean jackets for less than the price of one at regular price.

  It looks a little washed out, doesn’t it? Well, not for long. I also love this style, so was happy to play with it.

I bought a big pot, and some dye that would work with this fabric. It isn’t 100% cotton. 

I wanted a big pot to make sure the jacket would be submerged.

And the results: Oh! I’m so happy with this! SO HAPPY! It turned out beautifully.

I was so happy, I immediately started on the second jacket.

This one is teal blue.      I think they both look great! I was kind of thinking one might not look as good, and that would be the one I’d do some embroidery on, but I can’t decide now. I love how both of them turned out.

I’ll let you know which one ends up with some flowers. Which one do you think?

Happy creating!
