Let's Make and Wear a Kaftan

This was a fun make! I love the ease of making it, but I love wearing it as well!



I did a sew along on TIKTok (yep, I said TikTok) with a talented group of sewist and designers!  That made it even more fun! The talent is certainly there, but the hilarity often takes over - and I love it!! 
So much love, laughter and serious sewing!
The group is @blacksewing network. It was created by Carmen who has 2 handles:
@cagthemag on TT and @CAGReinvented Blog on FaceBook.

The patterns that were used are Simplicity 8877 and Simplicity 8911

They both required a good bit of fabric and because I'm still on a fabric fast - I couldn't find a piece from my stash that was long enough - soooo - I self-drafted a pattern that only has 2 pieces and used less fabric. That piece was not quite long enough to make it floor length.  So I decided to make it a bit shorter in the front and floor length in the back! 
I decided to use packaged bias binding for the neckline. 

Us creatives will always find a way to make it work!

The fabric is a drapey mystery poly blend snake print with a sprinkling of silver flecks.

I haven't decided if I will wear it outside, but I'll  definitely be swishing around the house in it!
It is SEW comfy!
