Hello sew-friends! Today I have a quick, summer-friendly finished make to share with you. I made this caftan at the end of last September, and now that summer is officially here, I think it's time that I finally shared it! This project was one of those last-minute, before-a-trip projects that so many sewists get stuck in to. My memory is a little hazy but I think I saw the fabric at Joanns and thought it would make a great caftan to match the animal print swimsuit that I made. We can call it a case of unexpected inspiration striking. And honestly, the swimsuit plus this caftan made in black double gauze, is a match made in heaven.

This dress has been a long time in the making and I couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out. I first started planning this dress in 2022 but then got sidetracked with other projects. But, I still had the vision of this dress in my mind and I particularly wanted to take it with me on my trip to France last month and the deadline combined with that vision gave me the push I needed to finally sew it up. (Maybe there's a benefit to last minute travel sewing, afterall? ;)

Hello sew-friends! This jumpsuit is the SECOND time I've used the Rowena Jumpsuit pattern by Victory Patterns. Using a pattern more than once is a very good sign that it's an awesome pattern. I loved my first Rowena Jumpsuit (blogged here) so when found yards and yards of this fabric, I couldn't resist making it again.
