How to sew a cardigan using a serger

In today’s 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. For this cardigan, I’m using my Tasi Draft-It-Yourself Robe and Jacket pattern. This draft-it-yourself pattern walks you through each step of designing and drafting your own pattern. This cardigan is a variation of the robe pattern. 

In this video, I construct the cardigan with efficiency in mind. I like to stitch as many parts of the garment as I can in one go, then do some pressing and stitch my next round of seams. For this cardigan, we’ll be doing four rounds of stitching. Below, I’ve written up a recap of the steps along with time stamps in the video so you can skip ahead, if desired.
