Old jacket becomes new

I have had this jacket and skirt suit for at least 7 - 8 years, and I like it a lot. I have used the skirt a lot lately, but I felt that the jacket really needed an update. So I have changed it.






The jacket - before change

My "new" jacket, Chanel style. I have stiched on crocheted ribbons.





I crocheted ribbons using yarn Drops Alpacca Boucle

The ribbons are about 3 cm wide. They are crocheted by working 3 dc/sc each row. When finished I worked one row at the edge (the longside of the ribbon).



I stiched the ribbons on to the jacket by hand. I also removed the buttons. 



Yes, I just had to make a hat to match my "new" jacket.

I also made fingerless gloves. You find pattern on the page Patterns.





I have decided not to do any changes with the skirt just now. Maybe later on.
