DIY doily jacket refashion

 My latest DIY refashion is a gray, cotton, hooded, sweat jacket. I'd been meaning to replace the hood draw string, which was pulled out completely in the wash. I really like this cute jacket at the Oliva Page Clothing. So, I decided to do a knock off using a vintage doily, white ribbon, and some recycled pink pajama pants cording. 
Rethreading was easy using a wood shishcabob stick from my kitchen pantry. I wrapped the ribbon end, over the flat end of the stick, rubber banded the end and pushed it through. 
I also added some vintage lace to the sleeve cuffs then removed it!
The weather has finally changed to cool temps today. So, I might get a chance to wear it tonight:)

I'm linking tp these lovely link parties.

    Your jacket is so cute. Love the doily and lace detail and it's much cuter than the one in the etsy shop. Thanks for visiting and leaving a sweet comment.

    Pink is a good choice for the ribbon and I like the lace on the sleeve. Much prefer yours to the one on Etsy.

    You really did a great job on this -- you lined up that doily PERFECTLY on either side and that's no small feat I'm sure! Love the extra touches with the pink ribbon and lace on sleeves and I have to agree -- I prefer yours to the original.

    What a fun way to dress up an outfit. Very cute idea! I just saw a vintage bike that they put large doilies through the spokes. It was so cute! I want to do something similar. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
