Charlie Caftan and Willow Wrap Belt = Ancient Greek Dress
My niece had a request for a sewing project: an ancient Greek dress. And you know I like to indulge her requests (see this velvet and sequined cloak and this harlequin dress based on one of her drawings.)
One of her more recent special interests is Greek mythology... I think her entry point was the musical Epic. At a recent family camping trip she regaled us with tales of the labors of Hercules and the journey of Odysseus. She's particularly fascinated by the concept of sirens.

Jenna Shirt Two Ways
This past Me-Made-May I noticed that I was wearing my Closet Core Patterns Jenna shirt constantly. By itself, as a layer... I reached (reach!) for it regularly.

Tropical Fran Pajamas
POV: you're my neighbor and you catch me wandering in my garden in my pajamas with a coffee, checking on the incremental progress of my cucumbers, harvesting a handful of cherry tomatoes and spying on the sleepy, pollen-drunk bees in the squash blossoms.

Jenna Shirt with Ina Energy
I've been on a shirt-making spree, and this latest project is giving big Ina Garten cooking for a cocktail party in the Hamptons vibes. Or maybe Ina Garten cooking a Friday night roast chicken for Jeffrey vibes.

Ok, another project from the WIP pile! I got started on this project back in the fall, and then... it sat there. Thank you to #SewFancyPants2023 and the #JFFIChallenge2023 for the inspiration to just f*cking finish these pants!
