Something I’ve always wanted, and have never sewn up is a Pake Muu.
Pake Muus were made popular by Alred Shaheen in the 1940s to 1950s, and I’ve always wanted one of my own.
I ended up modding Simplicity 8244 quite a bit (including adding sleeves and cutting the front on a fold). You can read about the complete list here on my blog.
The fabric is a beautiful cold rayon that I picked up in Hawaii earlier this year. I went through and used white rayon as the contrast like a traditional Pake Muu.
I’ll definitely be making more of these!
Love it! I keep looking at the vintage patterns for these, and love Alfred Shaheen also.
Love it!
That is FABULOUS! Wish I could find a pattern that already has the sleeves!
