Transform your Throws into a DIY Cardigan | LIVE

There is still some winter left, and pretty heavy, but so soon it will be spring again 🙂 Either now or later on, here is a good idea for a throw, wearable reuse! Check out an easy how to video for a cardigan in a kimono style. Think of all the measurements when see divided by 4 around your body. In pattern cutting it is a good idea to work in quarters (1/4), wherever it is possible. You can achieve greater accuracy and symmetry this easily this way. Use a t-shirt as a base (a mother pattern) for your creation. Chose one you like how it embrasses your body, go plus or minus in widths in lengths according to your desired style (be mindful about that) and go for it!
