Denim Jacket Makeover With Brocade

"Update a tired old denim jacket with some brocade upholstery fabric samples. It's easy to do and gives an old jacket a whole new look. You'll need to stabilize the edges of the brocade if yours, like mine, frays a lot but once that is done it's just a matter of sewing it in place. You can complete the new look in an afternoon. The beauty is you can go as wild as you like with the embellishment and add just a little for a subtle look or really go to town. "
