Indigo Kimono Jacket
Directions: Fold the fabric in half width-wise, cut out sides in a L-shape to create the sleeve. With the right sides together, sew the L-shape sides. Cut down the middle of one side of the kimono to where the neck would go. Fold that entire length in about 1/4″-1/2″, pin in place and sew.
It went from a shawl/scarf to a kimono-jacket. I know it’s not an exact kimono, but it’s not exactly a jacket, so I say it’s a kimono-jacket. This would make a perfect bathing suit cover up too. I can’t wait to pick up more fabrics like this at the next flea market!
If you can sew a straight line, I think you can sew anything. If you need a little help, my book, Let’s Sew Together, can definitely do the job! Don’t be afraid to give sewing a try.
on me: dress, vintage. sandals, banana republic.
yeeeeess! so cute. so simple. love your entire outfit! 🙂
Thank you so much!
This is so adorable! It’s funny, I was just wearing my favorite Ikea blanket around the house as a shawl this weekend, thinking I should really just sew the sides up and turn it into a cardigan. Maybe now I will! Your blog is so inspiring, I love it!
YES!!! Sew up the sides!!!!
So Good! Love it paired with that pattern.
Thank you! 🙂
