Repurposed shirt to jacket

Using this tutorial I made this jacket for Liam today. When I saw this tutorial I thought it was so cute and since I had 4 bags of clothes in the garage waiting to be donated it was the perfect time.
On Saturday I rooted through the bags and found a few shirts that I could use. I got a zipper at Joann Fabrics last time I was there. I even used an old shirt instead of ribbing for the bottom and sleeves of the jacket.
It didn't take too long and was pretty easy. I ran into a little trouble with the hood and had to do some fixing. But it didn't turn out too bad. He likes it.

That is one cute boy.
