Kimono off-cut cardigan


 This cardigan was inspired by the film 'Enchanted April'. I was watching it on a horrible stormy while I was home sick with a very bad virusey flu thing. The women looked so beautiful and elegant lounging around in the Italian sun in their 1920's kimonos. So I tried to recapture a bit of that with a slightly strangled Cotton On cardigan and a kimono offcut from the Kazari Warehouse in Richmond.



Hmmm, really should have ironed it...


Simply sow kimono silk along the edges of the collar and inner swing.

It's not something that I would ever buy or make from scratch and it's not really 'my' colour. However sometimes you've just got to experiment with what you have.
