So yesterday I went to the local goodwill shop as they were having a 50% off sale. I found a brownish tan tweed jacket about one size small. I'm on the road to shedding a few pounds so I figured it would do. And for $3 I couldn't say no. So I got it home cleaned it and hung it up. I then started to read some tutorials about how to convert it to a kilt jacket. Today I was doing some chores and sat to practice my piping. So I got up tossed on the kilt and jacket grabbed some chalk made a straight line about a inch below the part where my pleats are sewn down on the jacket. I then put white basting stitches in the jacked and eyeballed the curve. I grabbed the scissors and chopped away I stood up and it punched me in the face that I just chopped up a perfectly good jacket. oh man what did I do?!? I don't even know how to sew. Well off to buy some thread. I hope this goes well.
