💙 🩵 how I made a patchwork chore jacket from thrifted denim #sewing #sewingtutorial #sewingtips

Patchwork chore jacket done! (154 squares later 😅) This one was a labor of love and patience.

• Pattern: Free PDF pattern called the Paola Workwear jacket from Fabric Store: https://fabrics-store.com/sewing-patterns/paola-workwear-jacket-pattern-type-pdf

• Fabric: Made the patchwork myself from stretchy denim I got at the Goodwill bins. I counted 154 squares in all to make the pattern size I used (0/2).

• Pattern tweaks: Didn't put the pockets on the front like the pattern calls for. Instead, I added pockets in the side seams. I self-drafted pockets loosely by tracing around my hand. I used snaps instead of buttons. Instead flat felled seams (like the instructions call for), I serged after joining seams with regular sewing machine.

• Projector for sewing: This is the second project where I’ve used a projector instead of a paper pattern. I have an epson ultra short throw. I got it on eBay for $80.
