Caftan top with Urban Threads "delicate neckline" design. The fabric is polyester crepe, quite heavy so it drapes well. I started with a rectangle folded into 4 and pressed to mark the position of the neckline. I added a V-shape to the design to attach the front part of the facing and just finished the rest off on the sewing machine. The outer edges are overlocked and then hemmed and the side seams stitched last of all.
I'm now thinking of adding part of the design to the front corners. I'll sleep on it first!

I used it around the facing and around the whole edge of the rectangle before I turned a single hem,

360665Hi Sue - have you noticed that this particular design is one of Urban Threads current 'best sellers?. My gut feel tells me that it was you who promoted their design the past week! And with the generous discount available at present from Urban Threads, many - including myself - have been inspired to purchase it. Best wishes, Patricia

It is actually three separate shades which sort of controls the variegated look.
