This easy upcycling technique adds texture, contrast, and a little bit of edge while giving new life to an old garment.You can use this same method on almost any denim vest or jacket using whatever sheer, mesh, lace, or embroidered fabric you love. It’s a fun beginner-friendly refashion project that looks fantastic when finished. #Upcycling #DenimRefashion #SewingTutorial #ThriftFlip #SustainableFashion #DIYFashion #MeMadeStyle #SewingTutorial #CapsuleWardrobe #UpcyclingFashion #SustainableSewing 💖 Affiliate Links & Sewing Tools I Love 🖤 LDH Scissors – My absolute favourite Canadian scissors!
