From pattern.... recycled denim jeans, recycled linen curtains, ball fringe, trim, and glass buttons. All of the materials are significant of my Grandma Helen, who died in April 2007 from complications of Alzheimers'. I added darts in the back for shaping, and added the little ruffle at the bottom, just to make it more "girly." Love, love, love my jacket, and all of the warm memories of Grandma Helen it represents.
