My younger brother asked me to make him a suit jacket so he could match his girlfriend for New Years. We went to a thrift store and found a suit jacket that fit him the way we wanted it to. We then took that home and I traced it to make a pattern for his new jacket. He also gave me two kinds of fabric- one for the outside and one for the lining. In the end, he had two new jackets that he could wear! All for pretty cheap, too.
