Tutorial: Make a bomber jacket from a men’s flannel shirt

Cathi from Scratch and Stitch created this awesome bomber jacket out of a men’s flannel shirt! She shares a tutorial showing how she did it. The flannel shirt had a quilted lining so she was able to turn it inside out so the outside of the jacket is made from a quilted fabric. Not only did she turn it inside out, but she also gives it a zip closure and binding for the cuffs and neckline so it looks just like the bomber jackets you find in the trendy stores now. This is such a smart refashion!
