Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Made from three pairs of old pants and some thrifted buttons. This pattern included pocket flaps but no pockets! Since I made this out of pants, I just used a couple of the back welt pockets. And, hating to see good pockets go to waste, I added one on each arm. This involved some very strategic cutting.
Material Notes
tweed pants, buttons

McCall’s pattern, I forget the number. I added the epaulets, wrist and elbow cuffs.
