Stopping by one of my favorite blogs, Orange Beautiful, I found this great idea. Have you ever loved a garment so much, but cannot afford it? Make it your self! Try this new flower jacket on for size. This would make a perfect gift for someone this holiday season, or just keep it for your self!

"My sister Kristen (first of all, isn't she gorgeous?) recently fell for J.Crew's Astrid cascading flowers jacket - but knew she could create a similarly beautiful piece without the 5 price tag."

"Using strips of satin, Kristen made all the flowers by hand and sewed them onto a jacket from Old Navy. Here is Kristen on the left and the jacket that inspired it, pictured right. Personally, I prefer her version! "

" The project did take quite a bit of time, which is unfortunate because now I want one for myself and have to find some way to convince her to make it for me! I simply can't get this fabulous jacket out of my head...and I'm ever proud of my sister's many talents."
