Shelley served her purpose as a useful muslin. <br /><br />Sorry to hear about the arthritis. I know what it's like to sew through pain. Mine is a bad shoulder which makes fitting clothes a struggle. Still we keep on trying don't we? ;-)KathyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865710256627225570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2661816713425562304.post-87296204688890332002014-02-25T11:44:29.955+11:002014-02-25T11:44:29.955+11:00Fantastic caftan and wonderful use of the border, ...Fantastic caftan and wonderful use of the border, it looks fabulous on you.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14691687252337993643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2661816713425562304.post-52870933868868318532014-02-25T11:43:45.040+11:002014-02-25T11:43:45.040+11:00The caftan is absolutely beautiful!

I agree with Elle - the t is not quite you. I think anything super clingy should be avoided by anyone - we all have lumps and bumps. Still, it's a good learning experience :)<br /><br />Hope the arthritis is better - I have a rheumatoid problem, so know how it interferes with sewing :)Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2661816713425562304.post-43466465894502300492014-02-25T04:21:44.982+11:002014-02-25T04:21:44.982+11:00I think you look like an Indian princess in that c...I think you look like an Indian princess in that caftan!Miasewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07597551802534518767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2661816713425562304.post-25965815855179111212014-02-25T03:41:44.767+11:002014-02-25T03:41:44.767+11:00Your caftan is beautiful.

Could you slash the knit through the middle of the triangles, add length and width and take the excess off the bottom to get the cross over where you want it and kind of alleviate some of the cling?
