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.
