To quickly recap, I got a couple old high school blazers from my little sister, who happily tossed em after finishing high school. Haha! I LOVE blazers so there was no denying that I mind taking them off her hands.
Right off the bat, I knew I wanted to dress them up by adding military-style embellishments. Making a few minor tweaks was just the thing they needed.
I upcycled one of the blazers in Part 1 which you can find here. The downside to the second blazer was that it was in pretty rough shape so I had to base the redesign around its flaws. You’ll see what I mean.

Would you call this a blazer vest or a sleeveless blazer…or both? Either way, I hope this tutorial inspires you to look at a garment’s full potential and think of ways you can rework it around it’s flaws.
Comment below and let me know what you think of the blazer upcycle.
