Altering a Leather Jacket?

Am I nutz???  Well, maybe....but it only cost me $6.99!!!!!!  Yep.  I went to our neighborhood thrift store...which I often do....and found this leather jacket for only seven bucks.  It is very large on me.  I was tempted to just wear it as is, but decided yesterday to take it apart:

I need to bring up the shoulders about an inch...take in the sides an inch and hem the sleeves an inch.

I started on it....ripped the lining apart so that I could get inside and look around.

I love black leather for our Buffalo winters...plus I can dress it up with multiple colored fleece scarfs and gloves...yeah!

I'll keep ya posted!
