Not only does the jacket look awesome, but you’re literally GLOWING queen!!! Your excitement about it just shines through and made me so happy to watch !!!! ☺️👑💜💗💕 thank you April !!! great content as always!! 😍😭🙏🌈🎀👏👏👏
@@itsqueendebae here's another tip: I always forget which sleeve goes left and which right, so as soon as I've cut them I handsew in an L and R in a contrasting thread in each to tell them apart.
I’m literally 7 seconds into this video and got excited because this jacket reminds me of Japanese style patchwork “Boro” 💛💛💛 P.S lots of love from a small RUclips 💛🦋
coolirpa Im way too excited that you commented back ! But I watched that one too and I loved it. I said in a comment earlier that I did something like this before but your way is so much easier. I should have sewn in all of my patches when my patterns were flat 😅
Jacket looks great! It reminds me of the patch jean maxi skirt I made as a young teenager back in 70’s....oh my, now I really feel my age...lol... just goes to show fashion just recycles it’s trends. Nothing is really new, just updated or refashioned. Thanks for sharing your talent!
Maaaan ,needed this video! I cut up an oversized jacket and bought a pattern to see if I could make it fit. Then got discouraged. Much easier way to upcycle my jacket,thanks 😁
That’s exactly what I needed to see, especially removing parts of the original shirt, leaving a skeleton more or less. Thanks for the tutorial… totally got me inspired now..
You have NO IDEA how helpful this is! I lost 100 lbs, so have a plethora of jeans in various sizes. The owner of the local consignment shop also gave me a HUGE bag of jeans scraps. I have enough to fill a 25 gallon tote. I was on the verge of just donating them to charity, but was afraid they'd just throw them away; a massive waste. The environment, & I , thank you!
This remind me of my fashion reconstruction project, I also used thrifted denim.....I made a whole two piece, it was so much fun to create.... this just brought back so much good memories from my first fashion show
Don't be afraid to wash it. I think you'll love the freying it causes. Great job! I did a patchwork denim jacket but I love the idea of making the seams on the outside and allowing it to frey.
I can actually feel the excitement in assembling the jacket 😊 All the patches were perfectly placed especially on the sleeves. Also April got that funky dance moves. 💃 Love it 💕 Thank you for sharing this one.
I love how fun the reveal was this video!! Please please do more like this, it gives the piece so much more personality and you looked like you were having a lot of fun!
Hmm I might need to look into my stash of worn out jeans I knew I kept them for a reason! As someone with thick thighs who has a tendency to wear wholes in my pants finding ways to reuse them is great!
never sewed before but I bought a sewing machine at the start of the year and because I thought it would be fun, I made a patchwork bag out of old jeans I had, as my very first sewing project lol (yes, I am way too optimistic about my own skills and chose to make a bag from scratch). But it turned out to be almost a full bag, its actually really cute but I didn't finish it because I thought the trend wouldn't come back but here we are lol.
I would go back over your construction seams with your Serger. It will last longer. Double topstitch all your patches. Most denim has felled seams to keep it from fraying. This will make your garment washable and help fray the patches. Awesome as always❤️
I must have been a RUclips hiatus when this came out. 🙄 Brilliant April! Now I just need a shirt. Have mega loads of jeans from my Jean bags making stash. This jacket is a must!💖
Wow that jacket is awesome. You did a great job. I want to give it a try. I hope mine comes out just as super as yours. Thank you for sharing this great video. You make it look so easy.
This would be such a great idea to recycle old jeans because there are so many old jeans at op shops! Probably from all the way back to the 80s or 70s!
Fyi... I would have flipped the base shirt inside out so it becomes a lining and the pockets would have been pockets inside the jacket!!! ...in theory, because I have never sewn a jacket, I would have base stitched the patches on the base shirt and then detached the shirt from the patches.
Not only does the jacket look awesome, but you’re literally GLOWING queen!!! Your excitement about it just shines through and made me so happy to watch !!!! ☺️👑💜💗💕
thank you April !!! great content as always!!
😍😭🙏🌈🎀👏👏👏
Awwww yessss can you tell. I’m so happy with it haha. Thank you for this comment!!!
Now this is art. It’s a great way to recicle the clothes you don’t use anymore instead of throwing them away. Thank you so much April!!!!
Agreed! Thanks for the comment ❤️
Absolutely!
Imagine if it was on display in some expensive store, they'll charge nearly 100$ for this
It looks so cool and expensive
My goodness! I could see some boutique charging $200.00 or more. So cool!
@@xxx-il9dv sewing or anything where one creates with own hand is itself an art.. april is really talented
Def more than 100. $400 minimum
Not the first time I liked April’s version better than the ones she was inspired by. I really had low expectations, but it turned out ADORABLE!
if she were to sell this it would probably be around that much too considering all the materials and time it takes to make
Love the dancing in the end 😄
I have so many jeans that don’t fit me! I guess I know what I’m doing with them! Thank you so much April:))
You're welcome! :D
Thinking the saame
I WAS TODAY YEARA OLD WHEN I UNDERSTOOD COOLIRPA IS JUST APRIL BACKWARD AHAHAHAHHAHA
OMG! if it weren't for you i would never have figured it out!
YOOOOOOOOO what I was sitting here for the longest wondering why that was her name THANK YOU
Then what's the "coo" ?
@@kia7189 I suppose it´s cool april, you read it from both sides and they meet in the middle with L :)
@@mozoulpozoul5017 ohh that's clever
I did something just like this for one of the pieces I made for my senior thesis 💛
I love seeing April dance at the end. You can tell that she really enjoys sewing.
THAT OUTRO THO!! idk what's cuter: the outfits or the dancing 💚❤
This is so fun! I have piles of jeans in my classroom and I’ve been wanting my students to make something like this :)
The end sequence of your dancing and happiness warms my soul!!!
That is a lot of sewing! Very Missy Elliot.
This is so beautiful, I love it 💙
Those black boots absolutely SLAY!!
this must have been such a fun and refreshing project after your displeasure with the last project. its so cute and unique !
It was healing ✨❤️
I would love to see a photo of the clothes in your closet that you have made. It must be bursting at the seams!
that dance sequence at the end was so cool!! it made me want to do this even more!
I’d be so afraid of taking the jacket apart because I know I’d forget how to put it back together 😭
Take pictures on your phone! That's what I did :)
coolirpa ooo okay thank you!! I think I’m gonna make this my next project, yours looks so incredible
@@itsqueendebae here's another tip: I always forget which sleeve goes left and which right, so as soon as I've cut them I handsew in an L and R in a contrasting thread in each to tell them apart.
Forget
@@coolirpa forget it
Looks amazing and I love the look with the shorts and boots.

Me too! I watched Zoe Hong's video on Boro and it was beautiful!

I love how on denim you can keep a raw edge without it looking tacky. Definitely want to recreate this jacket in my own way, it’s so cute
I am FEELING this 90s energy!!!!
That’s exactly what I needed to see, especially removing parts of the original shirt, leaving a skeleton more or less. Thanks for the tutorial… totally got me inspired now..
Such a 90s throwback look, especially with the bucket hat
It's so 90s and I love it!
You make sewing through all that thick denim look easy.
I love how it looks with the white shorts and boots.

Everything you make is always so impressive and lovely. Thank you for doing this!
Thank you so much!
your jacket is amazing and your dancing at the end is adorable
Wow this was absolutely genius especially the thought of de-bulking it by cutting away the big layers that were doubled up. Inspired!
This remind me of my fashion reconstruction project, I also used thrifted denim.....I made a whole two piece, it was so much fun to create.... this just brought back so much good memories from my first fashion show
Yaaaasss girl work it! Dance moves poppin
This is such a great use of old jeans. I have so many that I will be adding this to the list.
Loved the result and the dancing at the end
I want a mermaid gown with this design/pattern. Very Britney 2001 meets tik tok 2020

Jacket is owesome🤩 the end of the film is sooooo cool 😃💃🏻
Love the end result!!
I REALLY liked that end montage were you showed the jacket!!
Loved that dance party at the end 💃😍🕺
Love the dancing! Looks like you had so much fun!
I can actually feel the excitement in assembling the jacket 😊 All the patches were perfectly placed especially on the sleeves. Also April got that funky dance moves. 💃 Love it 💕 Thank you for sharing this one.
The sleeve idea was so smart 🤩
Wow wow wow everything you touch turns out great
Thank you so much!!!! So nice of you

I love how fun the reveal was this video!! Please please do more like this, it gives the piece so much more personality and you looked like you were having a lot of fun!
You are so cool. This piece turned out fantastic!!!
I love it! I would embroider something on some of the patches. Maybe, I will try that soon.
This will be nice for autumn
So cute. Thanks for sharing. Great job
This is sooo cool!
Love the dancing in the end btw :D
I actually love this jacket so much
Loved the video, the jacket and the dancing ❣
One of my absolute favorites! You look fantastic in this jacket.
Hmm I might need to look into my stash of worn out jeans I knew I kept them for a reason! As someone with thick thighs who has a tendency to wear wholes in my pants finding ways to reuse them is great!
Ficou lindíssima essa jaqueta arrasou!👏👏👏👏
I LOVE THIS!!!! I will def be trying this out
Amazing!! ❤️ God bless and stay safe!!!
I love it April !, I must try this !! .
Love your use of denim!! I have denim too!!

I LOOVE THIS.
OKAY I AM OBSESSED 😍
This is so cool April!! Gotta dig out all my old jeans now 😂
I finished my denim jacket project today.. super happy with how it turned out and this tutorial helped so much! Thank you :)
I've got some old jeans that have rips where I don't want them. Now I have a purpose for why I've kept them so long. Thanks for this 💙🤍💙
Your work is so perfect, ❤️ so clean. So love love watching your videos.
Aww thank you! 🥰
one of my dreams sewing projects 😊

Awesome as always❤️
Haha, loved the modelling portion of this video. So fun :)
Turned out incredible as always!
Girl! This is amazing! You never cease to amaze me. Keep it up!
I must have been a RUclips hiatus when this came out. 🙄 Brilliant April! Now I just need a shirt. Have mega loads of jeans from my Jean bags making stash. This jacket is a must!💖
I love it! I want to try this too at some point but with more colours!
Wow that jacket is awesome. You did a great job. I want to give it a try. I hope mine comes out just as super as yours. Thank you for sharing this great video. You make it look so easy.
Hi, April I loved the recycled Jacket and the dancing:-)
I just bought a pattern to try and pull this off. Like your idea of thrifting a jacket and putting the patches over it! Thanks for the inspiration.
If you don't want to make one but still want one, Remu makes recycled jackets that are AMAZING!
As always killing it with these lewks😍
This is soo cool!! It’s so pretty
This would be such a great idea to recycle old jeans because there are so many old jeans at op shops! Probably from all the way back to the 80s or 70s!
Wow i loved the jacket and you look amazing! Looks like you had a great time making and wearing it!
OMG that intro thooooo animation on point
not only did i get to watch you create another amazing piece but i also got to watch korra battle it out during harmonic convergence! ^.^
This... is anxiety inducing for me. Hahaha. Looks amazing! Perfect for the colder season coming!!!!
Fyi... I would have flipped the base shirt inside out so it becomes a lining and the pockets would have been pockets inside the jacket!!! ...in theory, because I have never sewn a jacket, I would have base stitched the patches on the base shirt and then detached the shirt from the patches.
This. Looks. So. Goooood! I love it, it makes me wanna go to the thrift store, buy a bunch of jeans and sew this myself.
Wow! Awesome work!
This is so cool! Well done
Thank you! ^_^
So good! And I'm watching legend of Korra too! Lol 😄👍💜
Oooo gonna do this to every jeans I have that don't fit. Thanks April!! 😍❤❤
Yasss
You live long enough and you’ll see the 90s come back in style!
The inside looks kinda cool.
I always wanted to sew a jacket like this. Thank you sooo much for this tutorial!! xx
This is my favorite project you have ever made
Интересная у вас техника шитья ! По русски это "заляпуха" !
Работа очень аккуратная и красивая на мой взгляд ! 👍🤩🌹💖🙋💝
THIS IS SOOOO COOOLLLL!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍
