THANK YOU!!! the yt algorithm recommened this to me. I'm always looking for more information about Turkish traditional clothing. I'm a third gen Turkish immigrant in Europe. I have been wanting to learn more about the clothing and try sewing my own at some point. Thank you for sharing this info and your references 😊

The Ottoman Empire, at it's height, covered thousands of square KM, and many countries and cultures.

Thanks, it didn't occur to me to make a hat and a hat band. I was just going to make a decorative hat

Face covering come from Orthodox Christian culture Basically 15:23

amazing video thank you so much! as Turkish person and citizen its really such a shame that my country doesnt do enouh research on our historical clothing so its great to see people from abroad to take intrest in it! another thing is in the ottoman empire they did not speak arabic, yes they wrote with arabic alphabet but that was a man made in a sense a fake writing system that was a mix of arabic, turkish and farsi this writing system was made to separate ordinary people from the higher class, reading ottoman writing is easy but writing it is very very difficult which is why most people who could write was able to aford writing classes for 4-5 years! so did higher ups or anyone also speak a mix of arabic, farsi and turkish? No they didn’t most people spoke just regular Turkish like we do today in Turkey ofc ethnic minorities within the ottoman still spoke their language back then aswell. I just wanted to touch on this topic that even most Turkish people don’t know! again thank you so much for this great video

great video! the only thing that i would like to add is that ottoman empires language wasn't arabic, but turkish. ottoman turkish to be specific (of course the empire had many other cultures and languages within) and ottoman turkish used a modified form of arabic script.

Aww I can’t access the pdf😢

There is a DNA test available to help figure out medications that may work better

I really wish there were more resources. Trashing other people's cultures is just massive BS. Thank you for sharing your findings!

Great resource, thank you!

gorgeous work.

It's always good to see you!!! Interestingly, I started embroidering this year after a 40 year hiatus!!

Honestly i love getting into discussion with anti fur people, and i always start by sayig, let me ask you his how often do you buy a new winter jacket hat or mits, usually ty say fery year for hat boots and mits abd every few years for jacket. Then i ask roughly how mug do u spend on these mits and hats for both usually 50-75 boots 100 to 150 jacket usually ,200. I say well this mink hat in waring was gifted to me and this was made in the early 1940s so the longevity of this out last your hat right there. My seal boots yes are brand new and pd 500 for but i wont need to buy new boots for the next decade. My jacket i bought used and pd 50 each for and i have both fox and rabbit ive had them gor ovet 5 years. So financially this seems much more economic friendly. Yoir sub zero clothes are junk i can shovel my driveway in a cashmere sweater and fur pongo in miuns 30. Im dripping in sweat... Plus anything i make is with re purposed fur... In my opinion its a disrespectful to not re use the animal fur, and any fur i do buy new its purchased by a local trapper and thats supporting local instead of your clothing where its made in china. Its not like im wearing animals that are endangered rabbit is a great food source and guess what these pp! That argue me about fur also wear leather and eat beef. Im gls you brought up the aspect on the environment as im goin to add that to my arugments

Thank you so much, it was very interesting and informative. I'm trying to find the "perfect" outdoor outfit historically inspired AND waterproof (I like to go for a walk everyday but heavy rain often stops me because I haven't found a suitable solution for me yet...would you maybe have any idea, based on what you referenced in your video? Thank you so much, greetings from Switzerland.

Actually the Ottoman Empire or Ottoman dynasty was founded in 1299 under Osman I. The empire before the ottomans was the Seljuk empire

Thank you for sharing this wonderful cookbook. I plan to try everything.

That is so nice! I need to make myself some linen clothes for summer time; I overheat so easily!

Good morning 🦋

What a fun video!!! Would love the knitted cowl/poncho pattern info! Thanks so much!

I commiserate! That feeling of, "My brain is part of me, it makes me who I am, but ARGH I really wish it would cooperate!!" can be intense, and losing touch with creative outlets makes it so much worse. I hope you and your doctors are able to figure out something that helps you navigate both your ADHD and autism and still function well in the world. If it gets to the point where you decide you can't be on ADHD meds because of the interplay with your autism, you might be able to retain some of the executive function through dietary management. Personally, I'm going to keep dreaming I have an executive assistant. Maybe someday it'll come true.

I'd love to see some of the Turkish and Persian button techniques! Out of the buttons that you have made, which have you found the easiest to button and unbutton?

Hello Ankharet! I am a wheelchair user and was wondering how well the salwar do at staying comfortable when sitting, especially whether the waistband ends up pinching and whether the volume of cloth around the hips ends up bunching or pulling awkwardly underneath you. I just found your vlog series tonight and am appreciating them immensely. Thank you so much for putting your knowledge and experiences into these very accessible videos.

hugs sent your way. love your channel and hope you figgure out the meds so that you can be you in a better way. keep doing the art.

Hello! I like your channel, recently I thought - where are you ... I also have a mental disorder, it looks like yours, the doctors can’t say for sure what kind of disability, I understand you. I have an experience when I left public education, I could not work in one place every day. I speak Russian (translator writes here). ha- I also have a lot of projects - I start and then they wait a long time when I return to them :))). my youtube channel shows what i can sew, if you are interested, glad to show you my little special projects. we can rejoice - that art gives strength in illness. and a strong hope helps me that diseases can be cured :), I wish you success !!!🤗

love this. you do such beautiful work.

Always look forward to you posting. Sad I am not going to be watching every week, but understand where you are coming from. Look forward to your next video. I wish you luck in this coming year, that you achieve all your goals and more. Hugs..

love your content. I will always watch what you post on youtube. if you need something let me know. I can send you stuff for fun in the mail. 💓💓💓 and virtual hugs to you.

Hi. I bumped into your video by coincidence while I was trying to find a specific pattern for a dolama. Even though not every info in your video is 100% accurate I find your work very constructive and enthusiastic. Therefore, I'd like to make some corrections and contributions to this valuable work. Some of the points I noticed in your video are: - Ottoman language is not Arabic even though it is inscribed by using Arabic letters. It is actually Turkish highly influenced by Arabic and Persian languages written with the Arabic letters. Someone who can speak Arabic but not Turkish will be able to read what's written to some extent but not really understand what's written in an Ottoman Turkish text.. :) - In Islam, men actually need to cover only the area between the belly line and under the knee cap. This is enough even during the prayer. As for ladies, the Qur'an says (Nûr: 31) that the ladies must not show their "decorations/jewels/ornaments" (which most probably refers to the breasts, even though in the later part of the verse the "jewels" and "private parts" are used one after the other), and they must put their head covers over their collars.. etc etc etc and they must not stomp while walking in a manner that their hidden "jewels" can become obvious from outside. - the transparent shirts can also be silk particularly if you see them on the Sultan's personal guards called "Solak". Silk shirts were both prestigious and they had a very special purpose. Silk is arrow resistant. When you are shot with an arrow, the arrow will go into the body without penetrating the silk layer so it will be easier to remove the arrow or the arrowhead. In short, it was also serving like a light armor. Regular shirts however, were made of a fabric called "Trabzon Bezi" (Trabzon Cloth). Trabzon is a city on the black sea shores of Anatolia and the place was the main provider/supplier of this particular cloth that was being used for underwear and undershirts. The people in Trabzon however call it "Feretiko". It is a fabric made of hemp. Currently the state promotes the revival of webbing this particular cloth in the traditional manner. Fun fact: there is also a fabric type called Trabzon Bezi which is colorful like a rainbow and actually used as a table cloth or apron or head cover etc. It's been confused with the actual Trabzon Bezi. Therefore most of the reenactors (even the janissary army band called Mehter Takımı) dressing as Janissaries wear some funny shirts made of this colorful fabric.. :)) - regarding the shalvar (şalvar), it is often confused with the çakşır combined with gaiters ("tozluk" ) made of leather or felt or baize. Çakşır was more common in daily city life than şalvar. so they are not actually tapered şalvars but çakşırs combined with tozluks. Çakşır has several types by the way, but the main idea of it is being baggy shorts that cover the area between the belly line and under the knee caps. - I'm surprised dolama was not even mentioned by the way. it is one of the main elements of Ottoman clothing. It is basically a jacket that doesnt have buttons, ends at the ankles and has narrow cuffs until 16th century. With the introduction of fire arms in the miltary world, the cuffs would get wider. Dolama literally means wrapping. Since it doesnt have buttons, you actually wrap it around the body after putting it on and secure it by wrapping a sash around the waist. Then the corners of the long skirt are tucked into the sash for being able to walk easier without tangling. The kaftan (which was usually worn by officials and high level individuals) was usually worn over the dolama. - other than that, I believe Türk Giyim Kuşam ve Süslenme Sözlüğü (Turkish Clothing, Garment and Adornment Dictionary) by Reşat Ekrem Koçu may give vast amount of ideas and information about the clothing styles in the Turkish society. Yet, I'm not sure whether you can find it in English or even in Turkish. Thanks for the video and wish you the best of luck.. :)

This would be a great way to recycle an old wool blanket! (Thrift store find)

great explainito of the stitches...... what kind of frame are you using? it is not a hoop. this might help for those who use a hoop to explain why you use it. I use hoop most of the time. and they are different than frames.

Love Thread Magic. It's my favorite, though I have the evil cube.

The sound is horrible 😒😞

Thank you. So easy

Thank you for the informative video. Could you share how and how often you clean these garment brushes? Thanks!

Do you have issues with the vinegar dissolving the natural bristles in the brushes? How do you clean the brushes when they have gotten dirty like cleaning a muddy hem?

The button making is fascinating.

Absolutely FAB ! 🧡

Thank you for making this video. I am just starting to make early Edwardian underpinnings for myself. I didn't even know how much I needed. I figured 1 to wash, 1 to wear, and 1 for Sunday. I guess I was wrong. I will have to make a week's worth of undergarments, but I will start with just the three. I have 1 chemise that I just finished and I have 1 pair of drawers that I have started. They have been trimmed with teal ribbon insertion and a ruffle with cotton lace trim. I am using poly cotton batiste fabric because that is inexpensive and readily available. I also bought ready made petticoats. I don't want to spend time sewing them at this point. Starting my own historical wardrobe is challenging, but I don't think it will ever be fully historical because I like my plain, Mennonite dresses. They are very useful for everyday wear and quite comfortable because I can wear them without a corset in public. But I certainly couldn't do that with the skirt and blouse set that I am planning on making after I finish some of the underpinnings I need.

I love how you made your research but still added your personality and taste on those! As someone who grew up in Turkey AND Iran, just wanted add şalvar/shalvar is pronounced with a "sh" sound at the beginning, like "shawl." ♥️

I've never seen a blind hem stitch... I love it! Thank you for showing not only how you ended up adjusting the corset but that sometimes things don't fit right the first time and yes it can mess with you emotionally. I've never looked into the Ottoman empire for clothing inspiration, however, I am going to have to make some of these for next summer. Thank you for doing the research and explaining things so well.

Btw I loved watching this. I follow and learn about a lot of historical sewing but personally wear mostly south Asian and Arab cloths. I love when the two worlds combine❤

So I sew and wear Arab style salwar for daily (despite growing up wearing desi ones). The way we make them is with a gusset in the back, it’s very nice to keep them from “riding up” also traditionally they are made with drawstring though most people today use elastic. I always find it interesting to see how salwar are constructed differently across regions. It’s clear they have a similar region but they develop regionally.

love the pants they look so comfy, love love love the colors where did you get them from? and I'm looking forward to block printing! Something I've been wanting to try.

𝕡𝕣𝕠𝕞𝕠𝕤𝕞 🤭

Also thank you for touching on the difference between Turkish vs Ottoman. ☺️☺️☺️

As a Muslim this is really awesome to see!!! I have been working on trying to find historical fashion within Islamic cultures.

Dumb question and I apologize in advance... what are the garments you're speaking about?

I love the stamps. Sometime could you do a video on how you make your salwar pants. I am always interested in someone's else take, and contruction on garments.

love the color combinations.
