Hi there, I am wanting to design some western show jackets for myself. I am wanting to create a “high end” look without the “high” price, but in saying that, I am willing to spend on the right items that are going to make the jacket look great.
I would also appreciate some ideas for appliques – what to use and how to design and cut them.
I have attached a couple of pictures of jackets I really really love – so you can get the idea of what I am aiming for.
Thanks

Hi Kelly,
I googled "western show jackets" and there are many ideas to gleen from the photos online. Start drawing some ideas on a sketch pad and then practice on a basic jacket. I use polyester fabric that does not ravel to cut out the appliques, stitch the appliques down and either sew or glue the beading or rhinestones. I also use soutach braid to outline my design. Hope this helps. Would love to see the outcome of your jackets.
Mary
