Makeover a thrift store blazer with gold lace and gems
This no sew project is a great way to add style to something donation bound or picked up at a thrift store. Just add gold lace (or a color you like) and gems with E-6000 Fabri Fuse and you're good to go. This was inspired by Christian Lacroix from the 80s.
