A bit of an explanation may be in order - My original plan had been to make the 4 levels, plus extra credit
1) - Gomlek
2) - Dress and Pants
3) - Entari (formal coat)
4) - Accessory (turns out to be a veil and cap)
5) - Kaftan
Well, I still want to make the Kaftan, but at the moment, it hates me. I gave up fighting it last week and have been devoting my sewing time to the Entari.
Here's a sleeve
and its reverse
I left the tassles on - may keep them, just for show
I am VERY excited to say that it is almost done. I have to add under-arm gussets, adjust the lining at the hem and probably add the leftover trim somewhere.
But that, as they say, is that - the requirements of the Challenge will have been met. ;o)
Now, since I still have some time between now and the end of the Challenge, I have some ideas
The outfit needs a sash desperately - I am still under budget and could weave something. I have a Cintimani design in mind for my tablet loom. I could sew something, but will only do that as a last resort
I could still finish the Kaftan, but I think it needs to be redesigned. The triangles are driving me crazy. I HATE the way they look and if I am going to handsew 96 of anything, I had better love the end product.
