Bee happy ...... upcycle a tweed jacket

Do you remember this jacket in the Country Living magazine?

 

 

Well now I have finished customising my grey tweed jacket.

 

Hope you like it.

 

Lace and ribbon detail on the pocket and cuff.

 

Ribbon detail on cuff and bottom of the pocket.

 

A secret Union Jack inside the jacket.

 

My own brooch I made with beads, bee, ribbon and crown.

 

Plus a Cath Kidston crown brooch too.

 

Ribbon and lace detail on the back too.

 

The floral ribbon is from my Tilda stash and the grey lace is French vintage.

 

I love the changes to my new jacket.

 

Perfect for wearing now there is a chill to the air.

 

What do you think?

Bee happy ...... get the tweed out

I was looking through my Country Living magazine and came across this upcycled tweed jacket.

 

I love all of the little extra details on here so thought I would change a jacket of my own.

 

 

This grey tweed jacket is from Matalan and thought it would be perfect to add some pretties to.

 

These are the colours I think I will use, Tilda ribbons and satin fabric with a Cath Kidston crown brooch and a brooch I have made. May be a little vintage lace too .....

 

Check back soon to see the changes.
