I'm headed out tonight with friends for dinner and exotica and of course, I need a new outfit. But you can't just pick up tiki garb at a store, well if you know where to shop and you're of a certain size, you can. Those that can't shop, sew. One of the easiest sewing projects is to make a kaftan. It's basically a pillow case with arm holes and a hole for the neck. If you're brave, you can get fancy with the neck lines and hem lines. I'm making a mid length kaftan, so I picked up 2 yards of a light-weight, breathable cotton/rayon blend. You don't want anything too shiny or slippery because that'll be a pain in the butt to sew.
This is the fabric I chose. It's not particularly tiki, but the weight and feel is great and the print called to me. I'll be sure to take some pictures once I'm done.
