A....what?! - Jacket that turns into a Bag

Jacket that turns into Bag

Yes, a jacket that turns into a bag, Very Confusing. This project was for one of Hannah's university modules called 'Function', where they were assigned to design and create a full functional jacket that transforms into a bag. It took Hannah a solid month and a half to properly get started but overall took her three months to create the final outcome.

How does it work?

Well, the bag was sewn separately to jacket and then sewn open along the back seam on the jacket, so that the jacket can fold into a section in the bag. Then the second section with a zip in the bag could be used functionally. Hannah claims here target market for this project was aimed at The U.S Coast Guards, thinking about shelter from the water especially (since they’re next to the see).

Here's what Hannah said about the outcome.

"I’ve only ever made dresses, so this was really out my comfort zone; first jacket, first bag, first jacketbag. There were definitely a lot of late nights sewing and mental breakdowns (that’s University for you). But 3 months later I have a jacket that actually somehow successfully turns into a bag, and I’m pretty happy with it!"
