How to transform a men's jacket into a women's jacket

Remaking a boy's or man's jacket into a woman's jacket is another opportunity to update your wardrobe. This method will be especially convenient for beginners. You can use a pattern taken from Burda. In this case, there will be no fear of doing something wrong. After all, the base of the jacket has already been made and only a few relatively simple operations need to be done.

Today, denim jackets for girls and women are back in fashion. Previously, they had the peak of popularity in the eighties and nineties. If you have a men's jacket from that time, it is not difficult to update it, remaking it into a fashionable women's item. This can be done in several ways. Below is one of the most popular ones.

This can be done as follows:

• It is necessary to shorten the jacket. Due to the fact that chest darts were not provided, the situation can be corrected in the following way. It is enough to raise the edge by no more than 5 centimeters.
• You need to draw a new edge evenly all over the jacket.

• Since the material will stick out on the back (especially if the jacket is oversized), you will need to take in the jacket at the bottom. This is conveniently done on the sides. To measure, you need to pin the seam with pins and draw with chalk the places where the fabric needs to be hemmed. Usually the width of the gap at the bottom of the seam is about 2 cm.
• The side seams need to be basted, but not sewn. At this stage, they cannot be ground. This only makes sense after trying on. The allowances need to be carefully ironed so that they do not stick out.
• After adjustments, the belt length should decrease by approximately 4 cm.
• Once the fittings are done, the excess fabric is cut off and all necessary seams are stitched.

To do this, you can, for example, do the following:

1. Draw a butterfly pattern on the back. A sample for this can be downloaded from the World Wide Web.
2. To do this, you can use soap to apply the outline of the design onto the fabric.
3. The outer line can be obtained by tracing the workpiece, and the inner pattern can be copied.
4. Then, on top of the line, draw again with a marker.
5. After this, the pattern is drawn using paint.

Then you need to let the fabric dry. To fix the pattern, it is recommended to iron the design.

Another option for such a remake is to additionally remove the sleeves. As a result, the denim jacket turns into a stylish sleeveless jacket.

Finishing and decoration

Here are some possible options for this:

• You can use rhinestones. It is enough to place them on the jacket in such a way that they look harmonious. Before gluing them, it is recommended to simply lay them out on the jacket to imagine how they will look. Such decorations look good if they are placed on the collar around the neck, shoulders, cuffs and pockets.

• Using lace fabric will add a twist to a woman's look. When using an old jacket, you can cover up worn areas. Lace can be used not only in white, but also in other colors - for example, black, brown or gold. Lace details will look good on the front or on the cuffs.

• For decoration, you can use children's beads. It looks good if you use parts of different sizes. Sometimes a pattern is used, but before sewing on the beads, it must be marked on the fabric.

• Using beads to decorate jeans is more accessible to those who have experience and skills in this area. However, this method can be used to create patterns that will make a fantastic impression. They can be placed on almost all large or small areas of the jacket: on the back, front or cuffs.

There are also many other options for decorating denim jackets.
