The Calypso Kaftan is your go-to summer pattern — perfect as a breezy beach or poolside cover-up, or sewn as an easy throw-on dress or top.
With multiple sleeve lengths and optional details such as an elastic-hem top, sash and drawstring, you can mix and match the features to create your own style. It’s quick to cut, simple to sew and a joy to wear.
* Note that for maxi length you'll need to add extra length to the pattern. See pattern itself for extra length.
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.

Excellent beginner friendly pattern to boost your sewing confidence. It sewed up so quickly!
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.
