HI DARLINGS! Happy Monday, I hope you are enjoying the long weekend. I will be on the road this week on a family trip, so I am packing and getting things in order. I had enough time to get some sewing done so I could post the remaining looks in my #DIYYELLOWCOLLECTION while I am away.
Today’s DIY Caftan look makes me feel very glamorous LOL! I want to stand outside and wait for my chariot to pull up, ha! I have wanted to make this caftan pattern by SIMPLICITY for so long, and I thought what better time than during the yellow collection. I plan to make this again for the summer in a challis. More details on my pattern and fabric below.

DIY CAFTAN INFO & MODIFICATIONS
This is SIMPLICITY #8505 which is a SIMPLICITY vintage pattern that they brought back. I have the original vintage pattern too. This is a really easy pattern and comes together really quickly. What is great is that you don’t need to do much fitting, lol its pretty loose fitting lol! I plan to make this again in a fun print.
The fabric is a pebble crepe from MICHAEL LEVINE (sold out but similar options HERE or HERE) It has great texture but it is very sheer so I wore a nude slip underneath.

DIY caftans are such a great project for experimenting with fit and fabric flow, especially with a versatile pattern like Simplicity 8505. I like how small design tweaks sleeve width, neckline depth, or fabric choice can completely change the final look. It reminds me of using a sprite splice tool https://pokefusionpro.com/ where combining the right elements creates something unique yet cohesive. This pattern seems perfect for both beginners and experienced makers who want a relaxed but elegant result.
I’ve recently been working on improving my backyard landscape, and I’ve discovered how much of a difference garden boulders from Earthstone Rocks can make in transforming an outdoor space. They add such a natural, timeless look and help create focal points that blend beautifully with plants and pathways. Whether you use them as decorative accents, seating areas, or to shape raised flower beds, they bring both structure and character to the garden. I found that choosing boulders of varying sizes and textures from Earthstone Rocks creates a more organic design, and it’s amazing how easily they elevate the entire layout.
