This upcycled fluffy jumper is the base for this jacket.

I unpicked the pocket and cut the jumper into the shape that I wanted. I then cut it straight down the middle.

I hemmed the middle seam of the jacket by rolling the hem and sewing a straight line.

I used a pair of blue silky pyjama bottoms and cut up the seam of them. I cut 6 thick strips out of the silk fabric.

I placed the blue silky fabric onto the base jacket and measured how long I would need them to be.

I upcycled an old floral blouse and cut it up into strips the same size as the blue strips.

I placed the floral chiffon on top of the silky blue fabric and pinned them together so that they wouldn't move when sewing,

I sewed straight lines across the width of the fabric. I sewed them parallel to each other.

Once all the fabric strips were sewn, I started to cut away the top layer to reveal the blue fabric underneath.
