A Pair and A Spare shows how you can make this fringed kimono cardigan, with no sewing required. The kimono is made from a large, flowy scarf. And instead of stitches, you’ll use brads to attach the fringe and close the sides. Of course, if you have a sewing machine, it wouldn’t take long at all to sew those seams for a more permanent hold.
