Surely, in each closet there is a pair, or even one old, wiped jeans. It seems that you can no longer wear it, and it's a pity to throw it out. How to give a second life to old jeans? The answer is simple - you can sew a fashionable, stylish jacket for a little princess. It does not take much time, and even the most inexperienced craftswoman will cope with patterns and sewing.

Before you make a pattern, you must remove the following dimensions:

• chest girth;
• waist girth;
• hip girth;
• child's height.

If you have several pairs of old jeans on hand, and even different colors, you can sew a very original jacket in a combination of several colors. For example, blue jeans will go to large parts, and from the remnants of blue denim you can make pockets, decorate the collar, belt, etc. in an original way.

For sewing children's jackets will need:

• 2 - 3 pairs of old jeans (depending on the age and size of the child);
• slanting bake for registration (optional);
• punching buttons or rivets;
• threads of a contrasting color;
• lining fabric (if necessary);
• material for decoration (beautiful buttons, bright beads, lace, sequins, applique, etc.)

Depending on the model chosen, the number of parts may vary. Basic option:

• 2 shelves;
• back;
• 2 straps fasteners;
• 2 collar stand items;
• 2 collar details;
• 1 or 2 pockets;
• pockets for pockets;
• belt but the bottom cut of the jacket;
• yoke (optional).

Draw or print the individual details of the patterns. Then you can transfer the details on the denim. To do this, you first need to unzip old jeans, and then transfer the pattern to whole parts of jeans. After all the details are cut, you can sweep the jacket and try on the child to make sure that the patterns are made correctly.

Now you can start sewing. First, you should attach the yoke (if it is provided by the model) to the details of the backrest and shelves, then stitch the side seams, sew the sleeve, attach the belt. Last come the collar and pockets. For insulation, you can provide a lining of cotton fabric, flannel, fleece or other material. It looks interesting option with a bright, contrasting color lining fabric. It is better to make the neck and sleeves a little wider than necessary - and the jacket rushes longer and you can always hook a light turtleneck or blouse under it.

Decorating the finished jacket is the most interesting part. Here you can give full imagination of your imagination. It all depends on the age and preferences of the child. Bright appliqués with the characters of your favorite cartoons, intricate beadwork, ribbon ribbons, fringe, trimmed with pieces of lace or a beautiful, shiny fabric.
