Men's Corduroy Jacket turned Vest


This vest was made from a corduroy jacket found at a local goodwill for 99 cents.  The first thing I did was un-attach the sleeves, making it a vest.  Next I altered the bottom of the jacket to fall to a point.  I trimmed the arm holes and pockets in a dark brown leather like materials.  Unfortunately, I did not secure this brown material well enough the first time and I cut the back a little too short for it's owner.  To fix this I bought new material to line the pockets and added a strip of the new material to the back to elongate it.
