Not the first time I liked April’s version better than the ones she was inspired by. I really had low expectations, but it turned out ADORABLE!

if she were to sell this it would probably be around that much too considering all the materials and time it takes to make
Not only does the jacket look awesome, but you’re literally GLOWING queen!!! Your excitement about it just shines through and made me so happy to watch !!!! ☺️👑💜💗💕 thank you April !!! great content as always!! 😍😭🙏🌈🎀👏👏👏

This is so fun! I have piles of jeans in my classroom and I’ve been wanting my students to make something like this :)
That is a lot of sewing! Very Missy Elliot.
that dance sequence at the end was so cool!! it made me want to do this even more!
Maaaan ,needed this video! I cut up an oversized jacket and bought a pattern to see if I could make it fit. Then got discouraged. Much easier way to upcycle my jacket,thanks 😁
this must have been such a fun and refreshing project after your displeasure with the last project. its so cute and unique !

The end sequence of your dancing and happiness warms my soul!!!
This is so beautiful, I love it 💙
Looks amazing and I love the look with the shorts and boots.
I love how on denim you can keep a raw edge without it looking tacky. Definitely want to recreate this jacket in my own way, it’s so cute
It's so 90s and I love it!
Jacket looks great! It reminds me of the patch jean maxi skirt I made as a young teenager back in 70’s....oh my, now I really feel my age...lol... just goes to show fashion just recycles it’s trends. Nothing is really new, just updated or refashioned. Thanks for sharing your talent!
I would love to see a photo of the clothes in your closet that you have made. It must be bursting at the seams!
Hmm I might need to look into my stash of worn out jeans I knew I kept them for a reason! As someone with thick thighs who has a tendency to wear wholes in my pants finding ways to reuse them is great!
I love it! I would embroider something on some of the patches. Maybe, I will try that soon.
Yaaaasss girl work it! Dance moves poppin
Jacket is owesome🤩 the end of the film is sooooo cool 😃💃🏻
I am FEELING this 90s energy!!!!
Such a 90s throwback look, especially with the bucket hat
That’s exactly what I needed to see, especially removing parts of the original shirt, leaving a skeleton more or less. Thanks for the tutorial… totally got me inspired now..
I've got some old jeans that have rips where I don't want them. Now I have a purpose for why I've kept them so long. Thanks for this 💙🤍💙
Loved that dance party at the end 💃😍🕺
Loved the result and the dancing at the end
The sleeve idea was so smart 🤩
Love the end result!!
I just bought a pattern to try and pull this off. Like your idea of thrifting a jacket and putting the patches over it! Thanks for the inspiration.
Love the dancing! Looks like you had so much fun!
Wow this was absolutely genius especially the thought of de-bulking it by cutting away the big layers that were doubled up. Inspired!
This remind me of my fashion reconstruction project, I also used thrifted denim.....I made a whole two piece, it was so much fun to create.... this just brought back so much good memories from my first fashion show
I want a mermaid gown with this design/pattern. Very Britney 2001 meets tik tok 2020
your jacket is amazing and your dancing at the end is adorable
Wow that jacket is awesome. You did a great job. I want to give it a try. I hope mine comes out just as super as yours. Thank you for sharing this great video. You make it look so easy.
So cute. Thanks for sharing. Great job
This will be nice for autumn
OKAY I AM OBSESSED 😍
I love it April !, I must try this !! .
I can actually feel the excitement in assembling the jacket 😊 All the patches were perfectly placed especially on the sleeves. Also April got that funky dance moves. 💃 Love it 💕 Thank you for sharing this one.
Everything you make is always so impressive and lovely. Thank you for doing this!

Don't be afraid to wash it. I think you'll love the freying it causes. Great job! I did a patchwork denim jacket but I love the idea of making the seams on the outside and allowing it to frey.
You have NO IDEA how helpful this is! I lost 100 lbs, so have a plethora of jeans in various sizes. The owner of the local consignment shop also gave me a HUGE bag of jeans scraps. I have enough to fill a 25 gallon tote. I was on the verge of just donating them to charity, but was afraid they'd just throw them away; a massive waste. The environment, & I , thank you!
I actually love this jacket so much
love the dance at the end !! we can see that u love what u ended up with
Loved the video, the jacket and the dancing ❣
I LOVE THIS!!!! I will def be trying this out
This is such a great use of old jeans. I have so many that I will be adding this to the list.
Love your use of denim!! I have denim too!!
not only did i get to watch you create another amazing piece but i also got to watch korra battle it out during harmonic convergence! ^.^
You live long enough and you’ll see the 90s come back in style!
I LOOVE THIS.
I REALLY liked that end montage were you showed the jacket!!
never sewed before but I bought a sewing machine at the start of the year and because I thought it would be fun, I made a patchwork bag out of old jeans I had, as my very first sewing project lol (yes, I am way too optimistic about my own skills and chose to make a bag from scratch). But it turned out to be almost a full bag, its actually really cute but I didn't finish it because I thought the trend wouldn't come back but here we are lol.
I love how fun the reveal was this video!! Please please do more like this, it gives the piece so much more personality and you looked like you were having a lot of fun!
Wow wow wow everything you touch turns out great

You make sewing through all that thick denim look easy.
I love how it looks with the white shorts and boots.
As always killing it with these lewks😍
One of my absolute favorites! You look fantastic in this jacket.
I've never been much of a fine of this style of jacket, but it looks reeeeeally amazing. Might even try it myself❤️👌
one of my dreams sewing projects 😊
I always wanted to sew a jacket like this. Thank you sooo much for this tutorial!! xx
Like "Where did you get it?!" - "I made it by myself" 😎
Oh man are the 90s back! lol
This wow n m gonna deffinetly try it since my transformation of clothes is my passion
Wow! Awesome work!
THIS IS SOOOO COOOLLLL!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍
Awesome and much easier than doing it from scratch 🙂
This is sooo cool! Love the dancing in the end btw :D
Please more patchwork. Please shorts and tops and skirts and everything!!!
You are so cool. This piece turned out fantastic!!!
I would go back over your construction seams with your Serger. It will last longer. Double topstitch all your patches. Most denim has felled seams to keep it from fraying. This will make your garment washable and help fray the patches. Awesome as always❤️
I been wanting to do something like this for a while, now you have inspired me even more. Thank you for this April 😁
Love love love this ❤️😍
So cute😍😍
This is so cool April!! Gotta dig out all my old jeans now 😂
This is soo cool!! It’s so pretty
Girl! This is amazing! You never cease to amaze me. Keep it up!
I finished my denim jacket project today.. super happy with how it turned out and this tutorial helped so much! Thank you :)
This would be such a great idea to recycle old jeans because there are so many old jeans at op shops! Probably from all the way back to the 80s or 70s!
This. Looks. So. Goooood! I love it, it makes me wanna go to the thrift store, buy a bunch of jeans and sew this myself.
Awesome! I love it.
