I've had this cute leather jacket hanging in the back of my closet for quite a while now. I'd love to wear it but it has these thick shoulder pads that make me feel way too boxy. Which I don't particularly enjoy. So I set out to remove them and it was pretty quick and painless. You can totally do this in 10 minutes or less!
What you'll need:
- Scissors
- Sewing machine(Or you can do it by hand with a needle and thread)
- seam ripper(Optional)
So most jackets/coats will have an inside lining.
Step 1:
You want to reach inside the arm of the jacket and pull the inside lining so you can locate the underarm stitching.
Step 2:
Step 3:
Pull out the shoulder padding out so you can see it all.
Trim away the padding
Step 4:
Restitch the Seam
You want to use the original folds and sew over the original seam by holding the two edges together and doing a simple stitch. That's it, you're done!
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks for stopping by!
