Jacket conversion without a sewing machine?

Yes, it can be done. If you use heat-activated hem tape to secure the cut-off edge of the jacket, then hand-stitching the lining is not such a big job. And making Argyle cuffs is probably easier done by hand than attempting to machine-sew them.

I wont be making Argyll cuffs on this jacket, but it certainly would be an option for future projects
