  1. Oh how I envy you. I can’t sew a button on straight! And, I didn’t understand half of the terms that you used in this post! HAHA! When I was in high school and took Home Ec, I made oven mitts. I sewed the thumbs closed. My mom and dad got a good chuckle out of that. Your coat by the way, looks beautfiul!

    1. Melissa, I’ve never heard of a wool hoarder – lol. It’s the best right! This wool is over 30 years old and well worn. It looks like new.

  2. I definitely have a wool coat that I save for trips up north that I would love to revamp. Great tips!

  3. Wow that looks like it took a great deal of time and skill to accomplish! Up-cycling clothes is a really great trend right now and more people should get into this.

  4. You did an amazing job!! My mom was always making something new out of something old. That is a talent. I used to sew but I seemed to use the seem ripper out tool more then actually sewing. Thanks for sharing.

  5. Love the idea of doing something like this – I have a few older coats that are much too large and could easily try and tackle this. Nothing to lose (and a lot of time lately!) Thanks for the idea!

  6. Well done. I used to sew, a lot. But pattern making was never something I enjoyed, and you make it look so easy. I started a beautiful winter coat, that I had to alter the pattern a bit and now 5 years later the lining still hasn’t been made. If you lived closer, I’d hire you to help me 🙂

  7. Wow I love how the repurposed coat turned out! So attractive. And I especially love that you reused it in a fresh way.

  8. I love upcycles! Seeing old turn into new! I love the picture of you smiling in your stylish “new” coat! It looks great!!! A before picture next to the after picture would have been fun to see too. Great job!!!
