Cut the side of plastic bubble bags and keep it like a piece of paper, then connect multiple bags together to fit your body size and sew the bags together.

Any kind of stitch will work as long as the plastic pieces are stable enough to form a jacket.

Cut shower holder with other small plastic bag pieces

Use safety pins to hold the plastic pieces in the desired place on the jacket body

Sew the shower holder on the jacket body with any stitch

The last thing to do is to sew the fasteners on the jacket body.

Make sure you try it on after this step is done. If the jacket is too tight for your body, then add some plastic pieces to increase the length of the body part. If the shower holder is not long enough, add some pieces to make it fit.
