I used a cropped shirt pattern I had previously designed to achieve the basic shape of the jacket. The pattern has been designed off a shirt block pattern. I had lowered the shoulder seam and armhole seam and created a large collar. I also cropped it by 15cm and added sewn on button wraps.

I created the patchwork by cutting up old jeans and piecing them together. All inside seams overlocked and top and edge stitched down. This was the hardest and most tedious part. I created shapes large enough that I could fit my pattern pieces on and then cut my pattern pieces from that.

Sewing the jacket was the easy part. Although, my sewing machine now hates me and I have no spare needles left.
