You should see this cool applique Jim did on his denim jacket. All his design work, with only a bit of logistical advice from me. I LOVE IT!
Melanie showed me an image in an arts and crafts book where Henri Matisse style cutouts were put on the back of a denim jacket. I immediately thought that would look good on my old jacket. Instead of Matisse, I planned to use the traditional astronomical symbols for the Sun, Moon, and planets. Some online research located a set of symbols and a source of iron-on fabric patches in a color set I liked that coordinated with denim. I am very pleased with the final result. I can’t wait to wear it on a cool day and have someone ask “What does that say on your jacket?”

Good job, Jim!
Thank you. I will be wearing it more now.
Nice job! Very cool to customize your jacket this way, J.
Thank you. I haven’t been in the habit of wearing it in recent years. That will change now.
