Na Na Na Na Na Na

Bat-Jacket!
and not a post about sodium at all.
Remember the sad denim jacket from this post? Here it is with a whole new lease of
life, ready for the Geek Girl About Town
This was so easy to do.
Step 1. Using your Patent Denim-Ripping-Bat-Shears (no utility belt is complete without them), chop sleeves off an ugly denim jacket
Step 2. Make a paper template the size and shape of each panel you want to cover
Step 3. Cut pieces fabric about 1/2" larger all round than templates, and press under raw edges to fit
Step 4. Stitch in place

In non Bat related news, I seem to have missed marking the occasions of both my Blogoversary and my 300th post, so I've decided to do a giveway when I hit 200 followers. Watch this space

    Terrific! Now all that remains is for E. to walk casually into the charity shop and give a graceful twirl in front of that volunteer that disliked the idea of up cycling the originals!

    I have to agree with Dani that you are Queen of the Geek Conversions. You amaze me, not only because you can do all this stuff but that you actually think of it in the first place lol.
