Tutorial: Kimono Sleeve Cardigan/Wrap

If you know me, you know that I love to wear a good open cardigan or wrap with a lot of my ensembles. Especially my vintage ensembles. So when I saw this fabric at JoAnn Fabrics, I KNEW it had to come home with me!

So with this fabric, I knew that I could whip up a little open front cardigan within an hour, and that’s what I set to do yesterday! Here is the tutorial from my TikTok Page:

I hope its easy to follow along with, and if you do make your own, I would love to see it! In other news, I woke up today to a new patron supporting my account, so yay for that! Any and all supports means the world, so what does your support go to financially? Well first, remember that this is all a hobby, and nobody is obliged to support. But your support goes into me deep diving into the historical costuming community of the periods that I am obsessed with, it goes to learning materials and patterns, fabrics, and offsets the cost from taking out of my home budget. Hopefully, it can help with some historical themed trips so I can film lost of content for you. So again, thank you from but bottom of my heart that is literted in fabric remnants and pins.

With all that said, I have get into mom mode and get the house cleaned up with the kids are out of school, get some business stuff sorted away, and then start working a new project! A velvet 1950’s swing dress. Stay tuned!
