Fringed Buck Skin Vest.

A few months ago towards the end of april the old edge done a 50s and 60s themed night.
as soon as i knew i thought of like hippies and glastonbury and whatever.
turns out most other people thought of teddy boys :(

i started googling and searching on wikipedia 'hippies' and really liked these sort of suede vesty jackety things with fringing.

meh
i didnt want one from a costume ship though i think they can look cheap and tacky, but real ones off ebay where about £50! blow that.

so obvi i made one silly!

i bought a jacket from keech hospice care charity shop for £7
 i first cut off the sleeves and sewed them onto the back and front before i cut them into strips like fringing.
i also changed the shape a tad because it was originally a womens jacket, so now it doesnt go out at the hips.
i have no pictures of the transitioning, soz babes.
but anywho here it is now, so pretty if i do say so myself oooooooo




wowsers.
and here i am wearing it spinning in circles
