I continue to make progress on my embroidered linen caftan. I'm probably getting close to half way done with the outside hem. Not sure whether I'll hand or machine stitch the side seams. That probably depends on whether I'm at home when it's time to start them!
Pockets may be something to add to the caftans, either on the front in the 'usual' sorts of place, or I'm considering putting some in the area outside the side seams. Simple patch pockets would go on the black linen quite well. On the embroidered linen it may be a bit more of a challenge to not disturb the embroidery.
I happened to stop back at Hancock Fabrics last week and picked up the last yard of the embroidered linen. It is so lovely and I think it will make a really nice bag, especially lined with the black linen with an interior pocket or so. I may even consider adding a zipper to close it up completely instead of the simple open top on the black one. I'm still doing imagination design trying to figure out what I want to do. When I figure it out I expect it will whip up pretty fast, with the possible exception of the zipper, since I've not put zippers into anything in a while. I know I've got some zipper tape around someplace.
