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.

From Sketch to Reality: Harlequin Dress

I look forward to receiving my "Aunt of the Year" award; I've been composing my acceptance speech since finishing this project!

Velvet and Sequined Cloak

 A fun Christmas gift I made for my niece: a dramatic velvet cloak with sequined peacock feathers.
