Denim Jacket




Hello, everyone this is a denim jacket I designed and made for a friend. She really liked how it came out so I am very happy she liked it. My favorite part are the sleeves and the rosettes. It is always a challenge making things for people, but it is a great feeling when you can make someone happy with your talent and creativity. :) Tell me what you think!

( If anyone has any requests for garments or alterations don't be  afraid to let me know)!!!
