A few months ago in my Burda magazine there was a lovely kimono pattern, but I never got round to making it.
In the pattern book it was made from lace with a satin lining but I didn't have lace or satin and quite frankly that didn't seem very warm with winter just round the corner.
I did have a long piece of navy marl knitted fabric. I got it as a bit of a mistake, I wanted a different fabric which I bought on the internet in a sale. Then the seller told me there wasn't enough of my first choice fabric and so I chose another fabric to make up the quantity. Then in the end, due to flaws in the fabric, I ended up with not enough of my chosen fabric and a huge quantity of the navy marl. C'est la vie.
Then this weekend in my panic that I won't have enough warm clothes for winter, I realised that I could make the kimono. So I set to work....
and as the pattern was very simple I soon had another nice warm jacket cum cardi.
As it's not very warm in my house tonight, I'm wearing it right now.
More winter clothes need to be made soon.
