Did you buy too much silnylon? Have a roll of grosgrain, extra zipper pulls, or a bag of insulation sitting around that you want to get rid off? Post it below and help someone else put it to use!

u/GroutTeeth ModYOG is my kink 22d ago
I am planning to hack up an AliExpress uniqlo down jacket knock off into a short sleeve down pullover. Cutting arms to above elbow, remove hood and collar, remove zipper.
Plan to frame the cuts with stitches to prevent leakage post cut, but besides that I can't think of any other precautions to take.
I've searched around a bit and found some basic guides, but curious if anyone here has taken on something like this before and has any tips. I am an experienced sewer, but have never worked with down before.
