How to make the pattern for a Yelek (Egyptian Woman's Kaftan)

So I've been torturing myself with this project dnd I figured I ought to make my pattern drafting process publicly available for any Egyptian that wants to make one of these for themself. I used this pattern as the basis of my design, with some alterations made after looking at related garments, like the Ottoman kaftan. Traditionally this is worn over a shift like dress called a galabeya, a pair of serual (also spelled sherwal), and sometimes a vest. It is worn with a a shawl tied over top around the hips, often with a striped pattern.

First, you need your measurements. Measure around your body, your sleeve length, the width of your upper arm, your kaftan length, and the length of right above your hip to your desired hem. Traditionally this garment can be either knee or floor length, and there's record of it being as short as a vest. For the measurement around your body, add 4-6 inches of breathing room. Add 1-2 inches for the sleeve for the same reason.

For this pattern I made seams that were half a centimeter, and cut between half a centimeter and half an inch seam allowance. I made the gores 8 inches wide, but something slightly smaller could work for a more slender person, and vice versa. The gores should end where the slits at your hips do. The gussets are 5x5 inch squares. These measurements shouldn't change drastically. If your fabric body ends up being too narrow, cut two 8 inch long triangular gussets to insert in the side seams beneath the armpit gussets. The width and shape of these will vary by body type- the ones I used were 4 inches wide isosceles.

The front body piece should be the desired length of your yelek, and a little over a quarter of your chest measurement. The end of the neckline should be parallel to your armpit, and I'd recommend it being 2-3 inches wide on each piece. If this is to narrow, you can adjust it.

The back body piece is a simple rectangle as long as the desired length and half as wide as your chest measurement.

The sleeves are recatangles as wide as the the measurement of your upper arm, and as long as your shoulder to wrist length. You can make this longer if desired.

Though there are cuffs (or something) on the sleeves, I haven't figured out how they work. My best guess is they close around the wrists and the sleeves are held to the arm as a result, but other drawings I've found don't even have these. As such, I would go ahead and not care about them.

How was dinner?? 😃😃

IT WAS GOOD my pizza looked more like a recatangle oval thing rather than a circle but perfection’s overrated 😤

hand sizes between you and your f/os

(black recatangle - r/ichter, red rectangle - me)

do you ever wonder how big/small your hand is compared to your f/os? what would they think about it? do they find it cute or...?

[ID: A digital drawing of Dick Grayson in his early twenties. He is wearing a blue crop top hoodie with the words "Fuck Batman" written in red and white jeans with blue heels. He is standing with his hip cocked to the right, feet apart with his arms bent, pulling the crop top by the collar. He is looking down slightly and smirking. The background is white with a tilted recatangle filled with gold colour to frame the drawing. END ID]

he's a rebel just for kicks, yeah.

(p.s. he totally got a new hoodie and spray painted that on)

Marble Effect in Photoshop

When I discovered about creating an effect like this I was very excited because after previous failed attempts with the patterns I did think about using a marble effect but I didn’t know how to create my own original pattern, after having some feedback from one of my teachers she showed me a way to create something similar to this.

To me marble reflects a luxiourous, aesthetic tone when seen on products and in homes. The style is mostly drawn towards girls as it is fashionable backdrop. I thought because marble is such a popular pattern maybe I could use it on my packaging to contrast the luxiourouus feel for my brand. When designing my logo I looked into the Aaker Model and said I wanted my brand to have sophisticated feel to it but to also reflect excitement for it to appeal to a young audience.

The way I created the effect was creating long recantagles from one side to another and then flattening the layers so all rectangles are grouped together. I then went to filters and chose the liquify effect. I was then given the power to do it myself, creating the effect was like using the brush tool so I just ran the mouse along and merging it with all recatangles to really mix it in. Which eventually turned out like below.

I really love the effect, I think it really suits the brand identity but also makes it seem more interesting, because beforehand I just had a plain background as the logo was meant to be the main focus but now I feel as if it’s more completed than it was.

cuck thinks recatangles are yellow ...

all shapes are blue, except for trapeziums, which are lilac, and rectangles, which are red
