FABRIC TYPE: Designed for woven fabrics.

Your fabric needs drape. If it has any stiffness or a heavy body to it, it’s not going to fall nicely. My #1 recommendation is rayon. It just has such a lovely drape (make sure you prep-wash though). 

FABRIC SUGGESTIONS: Rayon, Cotton Voile, Silk & Silk-like fabrics, Linen & Linen Blends. 

FABRIC REQUIREMENTS: View here.

Please note that wearing a Kaftan is not a replacement for sunscreen as all fabrics differ in their sun protection properties.

PRINTING YOUR PDF SEWING PATTERNS.

At Pattern Emporium, most of our patterns include Print-at-Home, A0 Copy Shop, and Projector pattern files. Each listing specifies which formats are available for that particular pattern.

In each of our sewing pattern tutorials, you’ll find detailed information specific to that pattern's printing options.

1. Printer Settings. It's important to select the correct printer settings to ensure your pattern prints to the correct scale. You'll find printer specs in your tutorial &, for more detail, here on the website.

2. Page Printing Guide. You don’t need to print every page or size – just the ones you need. Our guide in the tutorial helps you identify exactly which pages to print.

3. Layout Summary. This shows what your print at home pattern will look like once assembled (taped together).

4. A0 Copy Shop Printing. What to ask for when printing at a copy shop. We recommend requesting plan printing and following the specs outlined above. Please note, printing at a copy shop is always going to be more expensive that printing at home.

For reliable A0 printing in Australia, we recommend Kristen at Dahlia Sewciety & Shelley at Plan Make Do.

In the United States, our customers recommend PDF Plotting.

Absolutely fabulous!

My daughter in law is pregnant and was struggling to find a lightweight cover up for the extreme heat we’ve been experiencing. She’s normally a size 10 but I sized up to a 14 and the caftan is perfect! I made a hip length version and she is delighted.
