I have had a jean jacket sitting in my closet for over a year. Remember that I told you I never return anything I mail order--too much hassle and by the time I pay postage/handling both ways, I may as well keep it.
This jacket has an annoying ruffle all around the front, right up over the neck and back down to the other side. I think that is why I have never worn it.
So I decided to cut the ruffle off and fray it.
I cut it to about a quarter inch, sliced it every 1/4" and put the jacket inside an old pillowcase (to catch the debris), tossed it in the washer, removed it from the pillowcase and dried it.
After a bit of tweaking it looked like this:
I like it much better now. I think I may actually wear it in 2010.
great idea....looks great...
