Kimono Cover Up
The very first Paradiso Kimono I created with vintage silk kimonos. Now the original Kimono is updated and can be made with different fabrics to create cover-ups for warm or cold weather. Use chiffon without lining to make a beachy summer cover up OR denim for fall OR wool for winter. The Kimono is an adaptable pattern to make the perfect jacket or coat! New details include exterior pockets and side ties OR use the original casing tie. Materials to use: chiffon, cotton, double gauze, flannel, lightweight denim, lightweight wool, OR stable woven fabrics.
Sell finished items! You (the purchaser of this pattern) can sell finished Kimonos made using this pattern (on a home-based scale), credit/tag especially on social media to Cheryl Kuczek, @cherylofparadiso, www.paradisodesigns.com and kimonoparadiso @paradisosewingpatterns is appreciated! Thank-you!
