How to re use and old work jacket

Make a goat coat of course!

I was feeling guilty as I had planned on getting the goat a coat before the weather got cold, the night before last was particularly cold and in the morning I was feeling guilty, so I decided to re-engineer OHs old work jacket. It had a fleece liner and a semi wind/water proof outer.
I cut the sleeves off, sewed up the arm holes, then made some straps from the remains of the sleeves and attached them at the neck and under the belly.
It took about 15 mins to make and cost nothing. The goat seems to like it and it survived the first night.
Opinionated but harmless

Very stylish! And I noticed the pockets too. She can keep snacks in them instead of eating from other people's pockets perhaps?!
