DIY Horror Jacket | Nightmare On Elm Street

During one of the lockdowns we had, i decided that it was a good time to revamp some of my old clothing. Even though i haven't had much chance to wear this denim jacket that i added a DIY "patch" too, thanks to the warm weather. I love how it turned out and when it comes to autumn i'll be wearing it a lot.

 

This jacket is already on its 3rd owner, it was my partners brothers, which he gave to my partner. He didn't wear it so i "stole" it and gave it a lil makeover. He likes nightmare on elm street too and so would also wear it. 

 

All i did was get a tshirt i didn't wear and cut a rectangle around the print and simply hand stitched it onto the back of the jacket. Yes my hand hurt so much after and i didn't have a sowing machine at the time, but it was worth it. A simple change but it will be worn more now. I might add more actual patches to it later, if i find some i like.

I did another jacket too, that wasn't horror film related and i'll do a post on that also.

Have you DIYed any jackets?

Black off the shoulder dress, peasant style.

Black Slip Dress with Small Dragon Print.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For these i'd style them simply with some white boots so they will stand out. A few necklaces layered, a few shorter silver ones together.

 

Black strappy midi dress with butterfly print.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For this butterfly one, i wouldnt add to many accsessories. The print reminds me of 90s and 00s and i'd let it stand out alone. I'd throw it on for a bbq or to run to the shops as it doesn't need much to look good. You can throw it on with some slip on shoes and walk out the door as it is.  

Currently i love finding pieces that i can throw on without much thought.

 

Black slip dress, with white lace trimmings.

With this dress i'd put on a black chiffon coverup, either one that sits above the dress or a long line one for a more dramatic effect. 

I'd add on my white boots and sunglasses to match with the white trim.

For necklace i'd add my cameo brooch style one on its own so it can stand out. As i'd want the necklace and dress to be the main focal point i'd put on some simple plain dangly earrings.

Black off the shoulder maxi dress.

And finally because i currently love to read in the garden, if the weather is nice and not raining. 

I'd wear this as it's comfy, easy to move around in and lounge in.

If it's sunny it keeps the sun off you while still keeping cool. If it gets too hot i'd pull it up and knot it at the side to make it shorter.
