DIY coats and great jackets for cold weather
⌨️
Changing clothes for the fall is one of our favorite ways to kill our time off and keep some DIY schedules in place during our fall work rush. No matter how busy we are, we always like to sit down and customize something so we can get the “new” fall fashion; but in a budget-friendly way. When most people think of “change,” we find they think of smaller items like winter accessories. However, did you know that it’s easy to change bigger clothes too?
Look at these 15 Amazing Jacket Customization Ideas It’s easier than you think and will keep you stylish and Crafty all fall!
1. Leather Fringe Jacket
View in gallery
We are big fans of leather jackets for fall. They’re warm enough to keep you warm, but you’ll still survive the occasional hot fall without the meltdown you’d get when you put on a fur-lined parka directly. However, we found that we were a little tired of pure black. By adding something as simple as a pleated fringe, you can bring your jacket design to life in an easy way! See how it’s done on Dushonok.
2. Fabric block quotation

Denim jackets are another great fall option because they’re warm and light, but we often find ourselves feeling the same way we feel leather—they can be plain. However, as a DIY enthusiast, we’re sure you know that denim jackets can be jazzed up in endless ways! One of our favorite ways to give denim personality is with patches, and what better way to make a real patch statement than with crisp capital letters? See how this jacket was made using large fabric appliqué patches on fall denim.
3. Sew patch on the back of the jacket

Maybe you like big chunks of text on your jacket, but you don’t want a square piece of fabric behind your letters? Try making a DIY letter patch! Pick a small quote or some letters or initials that make sense to you (acronyms work well) and follow the steps on The Fashion Spot.
4. Deliberately distressed denim jackets

You’re a big fan of denim jackets, but do you really like how they don’t look new? We also love this look. However, waiting for your denim jacket to wear will definitely take you longer than this fall (unless you plan on rolling around while wearing it, which is not recommended)! Instead, follow in the footsteps of I Spy DIY and try purposefully dressing your denim jacket for a sleek, weathered look!
5. Patchwork decals

Maybe you don’t mind the idea of a fabric appliqué patch above, but you prefer fancy patterns to text? Well, that’s also entirely possible! In fact, Brit + Co. has prepared a whole tutorial for you to make your own, which is a really good idea. Choose any complementary or trendy contrasting patterns and colors you want! We love how they fill the back between the seams in this photo.
6. Stylish Blanket Coat

If you enjoy reading high fashion magazines, then you’ll notice that, as we have, big shawls and blankets wrap up this year’s fashion peak. Honestly, we are very happy about it! What better way to stay comfortable in the fall than with your favorite blanket, but look stylish at the same time? Harper’s Bazaar shows you how to make a stylish version of yourself (rather than just grab a quilt from the bed and walk out the door).

Do you love the idea of a poncho, but it always annoys you to wear it because your arms really have nowhere to go? We feel the same way!

We also totally fell in love with the old-fashioned clasp.

Cardigans are always great, especially if they’re thick enough to be worn as outerwear on warm fall days, but we’ve found we’re tired of wearing the same style of cardigan day in and day out every fall.
