🌧I'm sorry for the lengthy reveal; I hope you still find it enjoyable! We attempted to film it three times, twice thwarted by rain and the last time by the wind, so I ended up with a lot of footage. And after all I felt like such a huge project deserved a more elaborate reveal. 🌧
And to think, it was four months WITH the machine doing the embroidery. Imagine how long this kind of heavily-embroidered pattern USED to take, when it had to be done by hand! Loved the project, so creative and well-done! And I especially appreciate the parts that didn't come out exactly as first envisioned (like the lining trouble) because that's just so relatable.
Thank you for taking us with you. The Kaftan is absolutely stunning. The embroidery is gorgeous and I have fallen in love with the sleeves and the ties.
Beautiful! 💕 You can always add/ hand stitch a green or gold satin wide ribbon inside to cover up the piecing of the lining if it bugs you. It can add a nice extra visual detail.
That embroidery is so stunning! Digitizing scared me haha. You are so lucky to be able to make/have such a beautiful piece. If I may ask, have you ever considered selling your patterns? No pressure, I was just curious
Thank you for telling me, let me see if I can fix it. Unfortunately this is all I have in terms of a tutorial 🙈 But if a lot of people will want it, maybe I can remake it, and make a more detailed video

I like the cinematic feel of the reveal.
Wow, that is fantastic. You are a real artist.
Beautiful!
I am always amazed by the things you make, and its so nice to see the thought process behind your decisions.

So many elves! I'm glad you did a different elf! So pretty!

Thank you! It ended up being one of my favourite garments I ever designed too, even if it caused a lot of headache to make 😄
Wonderful! And the reveal was stunning.
Beautiful coat/kaftan. I love that you used the fashion of your heritage and previous work (Greek court dress) to inspire the design.
Beautiful! 💕

Yes, it's in my long term plans to clean up the patterns and put them up for sale one day! I just need to find the time 😄
It is absolutely gorgeous!!!
SO BEAUTIFUL ✨️
Your artstation link doesn't work. Just fyi.
Also, I would love a more in-depth tutorial on this/a pattern? It's very lovely.
