I purchased this dusty rose jean jacket with the idea of creating a unique one-of-a-kind piece of clothing. The first thing that stood out to me were the buttons. They were branded and I knew I was going to cover them up with yarn.
All these beautiful button coverings really take this jacket to another level.
