A Law Student's Journey: No Sew Summer Cardi/Wrap

No Sew Summer Cardi/Wrap

I found this amazing 5 minute tutorial for a no sew jersey knit cardigan/wrap

All you need is 1 square yard of jersey knit fabric (hobby lobby for 5.99)

A pair of scissors

A tape measurer (or an american dollar bill)

I like having a piece of chalk to mark lines- but optional!

All you do is fold the fabric in half

and measure 6 inches from the told, adn 6 inches from the fold (if you are a little wider from shoulder to shoulder, I would measure and extra inch) If you dont have a ruler- did you know and american dollar bill (or any other amount) is 6 inches long? Perfect right!!

Then measure 8 inches down from where you marked. And cut a slit!

And its done!!! Well you could be done. I don't like the long pieces in the front, so I trimmed those off to make it less of a drastic corner.

Fun right? And so easy!!!
