Jacket Conversion: Who'll do one for me?

[Woodsheal]

We have a great thrift store in the area, and I've picked up some really nice tweed jackets there. I'd love to have one converted into a kilt jacket! (My own sewing skills are miniscule, and my wife is an elementary school teacher with NO spare time.)

Can I convince any of you talented folks to take on this task for me? Star?! I'm not talking about a "full" conversion with fancy cuffs and epaulettes necessarily, just altering the jacket to the right length and front "cut-away."

I'll pay cash, or trade other items.

Thanks...!

The F-H.C.A.G. is currently involved with making a new kilt for young Sinbad (she is practicing for the XMTS tartan that we will be getting soon)

Not to mention I have another jacket that needs converting!

May I suggest XMTS member vmac3205?

I believe she has done several jacket conversions for our members.

Shoot her a PM and ask her about what you would like.

Cheers

Thanks Jamie,
We've struck a deal.

Thanks, all! What a wealth of talent on this board!!

V, the jacket ships out in a day or so....

Brian,

Since you have struck a deal I am going to close this thread.

I'm sure everyone would be interested to see the completed jacket in a new thread once completed.

Cheers
