When cutting off the sleeves from a denim jacket, leave a good margin (~ 2.5 cm) of the OUTER shoulder seam. Same with the sweater - cut a decent amount from the shoulder seam. This will give you the ability to easily sew them together.
As I mentioned above, if the sleeves of the sweater are about the same size as the denim jacket, it will make the whole process a lot easier, because. they don't need to be customized. In this case, the shoulder of the sleeve is more or less snug against the arm opening of the vest.
However, if they are not the same size, try using sweater sleeves that have larger armholes than the holes in your jacket sleeves.
Obviously, it will be easier to make sweater sleeves smaller at the armhole than to make them larger (you can do this by simply sewing straight down the long side of the sleeve).
Next, turn the vest inside out and pin the sleeve along the armhole opening. I usually align and pin the center of the sleeve shank and the shoulder seams together first/ and side seams, and then in a circle I fix the details with pins.
Turn the jeans inside out before stitching. right side and check that the sleeves fit - look straight at the shoulder / side seams match.
We sew. I like to start right under the armpits so that the place where the two ends of the stitch meet is hidden. Sew right behind the seam as you can see in the picture below.

Over time, a black down jacket becomes boring and nondescript, so many girls are in a hurry to buy a new one. With a few tricks, you can decorate the down jacket yourself, making it unique and especially attractive.
Needlewomen use many ways to update an old product. The most popular include:
- special textile applications;
- additional zippers or buttons;
- brooches made of beads or rhinestones;
- various badges with symbols popular brands, logos of your favorite music artists;
- decorative stripes.
You can also add a belt or small strap in a bright color scheme. In this case, it should be noted that the belt acts as an accessory. In this case, shoes and other accessories (handbag, scarf) should be matched to match.
Before starting work, prepare all materials and tools. For work you will need:
- needle;
- threads to match the product;
- buttons or zipper;
- glue suitable for fabric;
- decoration materials.

Fur inserts
Fur is the most optimal and accessible way to upgrade an old product. There are many options. You can sheathe the line of the hood with a fur strip (photo). You will surely have an extra in your wardrobe. fur collar from an old and unnecessary jacket. Many girls also add fur to the cuffs of their sleeves. If the down jacket is sewn without a hood, we sew the collar in the manner of a coat. Such a collar will protect the neck from cold air and warm in cool weather.
Many collars have special loops for attaching fur. It is necessary to carefully sew on small buttons, observing the distance between each other to accurately hit the fasteners. In this case, the fur is easy to unfasten.
Reference! If there is no extra fur insert in the wardrobe, you can purchase it at a specialized store or atelier.
Applications
Textile applications give a lot of scope for imagination and stand out for their ease of use. It is only necessary to choose the appropriate pattern and its location. You can use two identical or different stickers by attaching them to the shelves or sleeves of the product.
For fastening there is a special adhesive layer. Peel off the film and attach the application to the selected area of the down jacket. It is recommended to put something heavy on top (for example, an iron) so that the sticker “clings” to the fabric more securely. By the way, using this method, you can repair damage to a down jacket: small holes, cuts or cigarette marks.
Important! The use of heat treatment with an iron must be abandoned, as a hot platform will ruin the down jacket. Choose applications that are attached without a heating device.
Patches or badges
Patches are attached in the same way as appliqués. You can buy them at specialized stores or make to order according to an individual sketch. 3D-style patches are especially popular now. With the help of this decor, you can also repair damage to the fabric.
To decorate the down jacket, carefully peel off the protective film and attach the patch to the selected area. Down jackets with stripes on the back stand out in particular. It can be any phrase in a foreign language, favorite characters.
Advice! If the patches are used without an adhesive layer, we connect a special glue to work with the fabric.
Instead of stripes, badges are also used. A product with wooden badges will stand out in particular. However, there is one drawback in the use of such accessories: after the needle, small holes remain on the fabric. If such a factor does not frighten the owner, you can attach several badges to the chest area. Modern market presents big choice small accessories: animals, cartoon characters, TV series, books or movies, fruits, vegetables or desserts, images of popular music artists and other accessories. With such a variety, every fashionista will find a suitable option for herself.
Beads or rhinestones
This option will help make the down jacket more feminine and sophisticated. Many needlewomen weave brooches on their own. If there are no such skills, ready-made accessories can be purchased at specialized stores. In this case, the brooches already have special needle for attaching to fabric. It can also be simply carefully sewn onto the selected section of the down jacket.
For more bright option down jackets use rhinestones or pearls. On the shelves of shops you can find decorative elements with a special adhesive layer or holes in order to carefully sew the stone to the fabric. If both options are missing, you can attach the stone with glue.
Most good option for decoration - attachment decorative elements in the area of the shoulder section with a slight transition to the center of the shelf. Rhinestones are desirable to use different colors and sizes to make the down jacket more colorful and interesting. Before starting work, make an approximate arrangement of stones, and then proceed to fastening. In the absence of an adhesive layer, the rhinestones are carefully sewn with threads to match the product.
Conclusion
A black boring down jacket eventually ceases to please the eye. There is no need to throw away such a product. Using a few tricks, you can get a new and bright object wardrobe.
