How to sew a cardigan using a serger - Video Tutorial

Hello sew-friends! In today’s YouTube video, I’m showing the step by step process of sewing a cardigan (mostly) using a serger. This is a really quick project and the perfect garment to add to your Fall wardrobe. I love wearing cardigans as a lightweight layer throughout the year and I’ve been wearing this one practically non-stop since I finished sewing it. I haven’t even trimmed some of the threads yet! You might recognize this cardigan as part of my nine piece Work-From-Home mini capsule wardrobe. I like that it’s just as comfortable as a robe but feels like I’m actually getting dressed. Read on to watch the video tutorial and learn more about this cardigan.
