Curtain Call

White curtains with a silver branch design

My second upcycled creation came about when I saw these stained curtains.  I loved the silver branch design and thought it would make a beautiful casual jacket.  The added bonus that I discovered later was that the shiny satin material was actually fused to the design fabric so I didn't need to line the jacket.

This is the pattern that I used (version B) for the jacket.  Initially, I made it too long so had too shorten at the waist.

This is the finished result and I love it.

My sister loved it so much that she asked me to make her a jacket as well but in blue.  I found the perfect set of curtains with a blue and teal circle design.  These curtains had paints stains on them.
