Cropped Jean Jacket Refashion

I have been wanting to buy a Cropped Jean Jacket for a while now.  The problem is I just cannot justify spending that kind of money on a jacket.  I decided to make my own.  So, I stopped at Goodwill and picked up a Jean Jacket to make my own cropped jacket.
Here is the cropped jacket after I finished it....

This was seriously SO easy!  A whole lot easier than I thought it would be!  

Here is the jacket I picked up...  I got it for $8.00

This is the jacket that I wanted- Jessica Simpson's Cropped Jean Jacket at Dillard's for $54.00

  I started to take it apart.  I took off the very bottom hem of the jacket with a seam ripper.

When the hem was completely off, I cut the jacket to the length that I wanted.  As you can see in the first picture, there is a button on the hem.  I wanted the buttons to line up, so I cut the jacket at the 4th button (if that makes sense.)

Then I pinned the hem back on the jacket and stitched it back to the jacket.
Here is the finished product...
Only $8.00 

I absolutely LOVE how the jacket turned out!  I actually like it better than the jacket that I wanted to buy!
Here is a picture me wearing the jacket.  I wish I would have know how easy it was, I would have made one a LONG time ago!

My Weekend Project

I cannot refuse a deal, no matter what it is.

My husband was outta town this weekend and I came upon a daybed at a garage sale.  I bought the daybed for $10 and figured that I could give it a quick coat of Spray Paint, post it on Craigslist and sale it before my husband got home!  So on the way home I picked up a couple cans of spray paint.  I put my kids down for a nap and started working on this beast.  While my children where asleep I painted it, set it up, took pictures of it, posted it on craigslist and took it down (waiting for someone to buy it.) 

Here is how the daybed turned out...

Here is a picture before...

I was really proud of myself because I only had the bed for less than 24 hours and it was gone before my husband got home (thank goodness)!  I also made about $45 off of the daybed!
