Captain Caftan

[@johannavanwinkle815]

The caftan pattern is wonderful! I love "Living your lie; living your truth".... good point!

[@maxwellchauncey]

We have been looking for a men’s kaftan tutorial for ages. So pumped to get this going for our own kaftan parties, sending you pics when we finish. Your video was pure delight. *choking*

[@yvethemetriccrafter688]

Looooove it, I want your pool and the kaftan is fab.

[@mrswheeler5428]

Thankyou, I bought myself a kaftan & not really happy with It so looking at It I thought, I could make this. Watching your clip has really helped me xx

[@JennK-js5ke]

Oh my god, you're a pip! Instant subscribe! (My bff wants a caftan for poolside parties in Palm Springs, so that led me here! I hope you run into him sometime when he wears it!)

[@amysweeney2525]

I love this tutorial . Great job!

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Awesome to wear during hot humid weather!!!! Thank you for this video!!!

[@kirstiwilmon5698]

I’ve been searching for a realistic and simple caftan tutorial or pattern with no luck - then I found you! Love it, love you! Thank you!

[@lauraafrouzian2959]

Love it. . ! Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Greetings from Bakersfield California. .

[@aishabunch5352]

Thank you for the tutorial and measurement. I am in the process of making one for my son but i was having a problem cutting the V kneck. thanks again

[@winnieskees9622]

I’ve been wanting to make a “summer” caftan (cooler than my other ones) thanks for the help. Your pattern is about what I had in mind!

[@montgomerysmith7719]

You had me rolling with laughter! Thank you for such an entertaining and educational start to my day.

[@kandacesh]

I am looking for tips for making caftans, and I found you! Lucky me! ❤❤❤

[@BethAnn10987]

Ooooooh and now I can wear this sea monster hot pink fabric I’ve been sitting on for three years like some fabric dragon

[@davidmarks509]

Thanks for sharing. I made some nice comfy polar fleece shorts, and they came out nice, but I am really interested in making more traditional clothing from other cultures, and your Caftan tutorial looks like a great place to start. I want to make a really colourful one and go shopping in it. Going to have to be so brave, as I am super shy. I can do it. :) take care.

[@sevenandthelittlestmew]

This is quarantine fashion at its finest! Seriously, now I need a caftan. 😂

[@selkertazumi9660]

Omg im so done! Im a subscriber! Hilarious

[@insanecaine]

I've been looking for instructions like these. Thanks! And so funny.

[@LoveHandmadeUS]

I love this!! Thank you for introducing us to Captain Caftan!! I'm going to have to make me one of these now. I'm sure I wouldn't be able to get my husband in one but that's his loss!!!

[@jamiealdayaappareldevelopm5197]

And we have cowboys here too! They’re called paniolo!

[@jenifferfoster4312]

No wayyy!!! Thank you so MUCH!! I have "collected" a ton of appeal patterns, but haven't done a single one yet. I sew but mainly do quilts and home dec projects, so I've been scared to try my first pattern. . I think I'll start with this in one ..do lesbians women wear these too or mainly just gay men?? Sorry for the brutal honesty and bluntness but my young daughter is lesbian and I don't know she would like something like this or not...... I'm being serious by the way.. my daughter's 23yr old and lesbian but I don't know man, I'm old and ignorant. I know I love her and have never ever made her feel like she can't Live HER TRUTH. ITS CRAZY IM OUR DAM FAM. CUZ IM A HARDCORE BIBLE BANGING PENTECOSTAL CHRISTIAN!!! LMBO. SERIOUSLY THO.. IN PENTECOST ON CHRISTIAN DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO LOSE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR OR LOVE FOR OTHERS JUST FYI. OKIE DOKIE I'M RAMBLING BUT PLEASE LET ME KNOW I AM CURIOUS IS THIS JUST A MAN THING OR IS IT FOR THE FEMALES AS WELL

[@solitaryman8563]

Wow! I just discovered your channel (thanks you tube for the recommendation) and I love your approach to sewing (and you are easy on the eyes!!). Great sense of humor too. Just subscribed, looks like I've got some catching up to do 😉

[@dynakay6797]

You made me laugh real tears! Thanks I needed that

[@beverlyhaehl564]

I love this I just bought one at Marshall's shorter though mine has fringe on the sides also sides sewed more towards the middle OMG you need to do another with fringe🙏

[@SaturdaySewing]

Awesome! I loved this vlog so much i subscribed. I haven't quilted since the 80s, but maybe you can inspire me to take it up again.

[@TruthQuest4700]

Men's Kaftans were more popular during the '70s so I'm hoping to see a resurgence.

[@AdirondackJenScott74]

So good! I can DO THIS!!

[@barbaraphillips5640]

Hi just wanted to say I love you podcast I arm76 I think your doing good keep it going

[@MoonbaseDiscoRecords]

Thanks for the tutorial! wish you also showed how you finish the v neck ;)

[@tomtwopeny835]

How did you finish the neck ?

[@anitacolotto9282]

OMG! Okay, I’ve been watching many caftan diy videos. I’m in a local, outdoor Covid friendly production of “COMPANY” in Northern Ca. I am performing the role of Joanne!! The theaters are struggling to get back on their feet. So rather than have costumers pull something together, I’m making my own lovely caftan!

[@karenmcmullan]

Thanks Dale, loved it. Now to make mini caftans for the grandsons, to hopefully get them to wear clothing at home, lol. We might be in the sub tropics, but it is winter here, lol. Blessings to you, John, the fur babies and loved ones. Hugs

[@jasonschenck8909]

Captain Caftan showing some LEG! YES!

[@David-lr1bp]

Hi just wondered if you could show more detail on the finish of the neckline? Otherwise fund vid and looks like a great pattern.

[@jodieroundtree488]

I am sorry I missed this on release date! It is just the info and chuckle I needed. There is an IG sewcial called #caftansandcocktails2020 which is just posting a pic of ya in your handmade caftan with your fave drink. I tried a couple patterns and not that thrilled. Now this speaks to me!! I love love loved your photo shoot! :D I plan on looking in my stash and seeing if I can whip this up for tomorrows cocktail meet up. I hope you join us! This looks like the caftan I've been needing and I am wondering if my guys would like longer ones out of linen. That would be so extra breezy!

[@plumcrafty4348]

Great video! What kind of fabric are you using that is so flowy?

[@JL-mc2dx]

That blue one look like a knit double stretch

[@mjl48170]

I'm gonna make one out of pajama fabric for wearing around the house.

[@jermanyburke3804]

Hey what kind of fabric did you use in the video? I’m reading cotton is ok but my caftans look more like hospital robes.

[@freckledghost3085]

Oh my god I love it

[@aggie949]

Thanks for the video! New watcher. First-time caller: May I ask what fabrics you prefer?

[@kassandrasundt8189]

Love this! Can't wait to make a set for my gf and I! Quick question: what finishing techniques did you use for the neck and sleeves? Just a little double fold baby hem or did you using a facing on the neck? Thank youuuuu! This was so easy to follow!!

[@marybohrer9473]

Yes, I came here to see how the neck is hemmed. Can’t figure out how to get a crisp “v”.

[@carolsloanes4938]

How hard can it be ?

[@Scottiedad]

Take a trip to India (when it’s safe to travel again ....) and get yourself a dhoti then learn the etiquette on when to wear it up and down 😜 you’ll also be amazed how many guys walk around hand in hand and they’re the straight guys !

[@susant5722]

You are too cute!

[@betosombrio3377]

Hi, Dale I bought your fabrics at Monica’s Quilting and I am doing a large bed spread, I got the blues, bage and the gold and blue dots . I am a quilt beginner and I am having to of fun. I also got the embroidery fabric that you wear in your video, the one in red,that you maybe bought at Joan’s fabric, I got the blue one and made a shirt to myself, Monica at the store loved it. I think your design in blues and gold/yellow together makes a very elegant combination. Do have a studio or a store?

[@QuiltingCowboy]

Beto, thanks for your note. Everything I sell is through my website. Kits of my patterns are available. I can also sell all the fabrics from my Pottery line.

[@raysolace3508]

I swear I ran into you in Manhattan and literally asked about your shirt lol please tell me I'm right

[@jenifferfoster4312]

Ok I NEVER say things like THIS but dannnnng looking good quilting cowboy.... 😲 Ok I know it's safe to tell you that though because I'm a WOMEN and a married women to boot....don't tell my husband...hehe. lol ..

[@tracielansing8938]

What in Sam hell did I just watch.

[@carolsloanes4938]

I didn't bargain for all of this smulch

[@feebes]

Oh sweetie…why not cut your sides while you have your fabric folded for the neckline? Then you get to skip at least half the angst.

[@Ginyasha]

just another nonbinary singer-slinger, drawn by the siren call of the caftans. XD you've cracked it, your moomoos bring all the boys+ to the yard.

[@jimmorgan6819]
