Adding special touches

A client of mine had bought a wooden top. However, some things were not t his liking. He asked me to make it better! It was a fun project. 

First of all, the button was plastic, so he wanted me to replace them with wooden ones. They look much nicer with the wooden ones. 

He asked me to add a zipper pull. 

He asked me to add this detail to the cuffs, the hem, and another place. I liked the way he thinks! 

Also, he wanted patches on the elbows. 

This is what the whole top looks like. (Somehow the colours of the fabric look different in all those photos, but I don't know how to correct the colours in the photos.)

And yes, when I made the elbow patches, I had to make a pattern first. 

I love working on a creative project like this. If you have anything that you want changed or added to your existing clothing, please feel free to contact me.
