utility pinafore

I finished the leather pinafore a few weeks ago!

leather jacket
for newer readers, the leather pinafore started out as this enormous jacket from Goodwill.   Earlier this week, the finished garment was shown at a conference on sustainability at my school as a reclaimed garment!  yay!

so many pockets!  it's great for sewing and crafts because there's a place for everything-- bobbins, chalk, scissors, tracing wheel, anything!

And here's the back!  The adjustable waist tabs are actually the sleeve tabs from the jacket.

I feel the need to add that Rikki asked to try it on, there was no coercion involved.
Aaaand here are my friends Rikki and Brittany.  The hilarity of this class...

Have you finished any projects lately?
