DIY sports coat!

I found this cute pink jacket on clearance for $8 -- what a steal!! I spruced it up and made a new synchro sweater!


I made a stencil for the splash out of poster-board, then traced it onto the back of the jacket. I made the stencils for the letters too, and traced them (I tried to make it look like they were swimming.) Then I painted it with fabric paint I bought from Michael's ($6 for a big bottle, didn't even need a big one though, it goes a long way)

After that was done I stitched my patch from last season onto the front.



Turned out pretty good, huh?

Trying this out....

Hey everyone!!! I'm sure I'm not the only one who faces the struggle of shopping. I can never find what I'm looking for, and when I do it's so stinking expensive!! So I wanted to share some ways you can avoid these things with a little creativity and time.
