Charlie Caftan

I love a Closet Case pattern, and this is no different. I’d been dreaming of making a Charlie Caftan since it was released, but my low confidence stopped me.

I finally had a go this summer, and it was actually pretty easy. Together with the sewalong, this is a breeze to sew up and a gorgeous garment to wear. This is my wearable toile, and I will need to make some adjustments next time to shorten the vee neck and life the centre panel up a few inches as I have a short torso.

There’s a more in-depth write up, including the reasoning for the delays in making it, on my blog: https://sewslowsarah.com/2018/06/10/closet-case-patterns-charlie-caftan/
