I just loved that little bit at the end where your husband says "Fine. Make me your villain." Then next clip he is talking sweetly to the dogs telling them he won't slice them up. They are too cute to be sliced up. Gotta love a guy who can act all tough and villainous then turn into a big softy over the fur babies. ❤
the embroidery is probably supposed to be black on black, but for filming purposes usually everything that is supposed to be black is either dark purple or blue or maybe gray. Otherwise you would just kinda see a black void in the video
tbh my bisexual ass swoons for almost the entire cast but i would really love a bi character moving forward. In my opinion Zoya would be perfect for that. powerful, beautiful, but cold and haunted by her past so she doesn't let anyone close. And maybe she could embrace her Suli roots some day.... wahhh i'm excited no matter what
@@discordiasreturn1222 In the books, Jesper and Nina are both bi, it didn't come through in the show though, so technically they are there, just non-readers can't tell.
@@annie-rose ah damn, i read the grisha triology and am currently halfway through king of scars where nina is pining over her lost love mainly, so i should definetly keeping going with the rest of the books for the full story! I really hope they can bring some of it into the series too. Loved Nina there regardless so your comment makes me very happy
I had to check when the first book came out (2012 btw) cause Ben Barnes was ALWAYS my mental picture of Darkling and is amazing to see it come to life like this. Seriously, you couldn't be anybody else!
@@asterismos5451 oh for sure! But I love saying "If evil, why sexy?" it really winds up the morality hand wringers in every fandom who don't want you to have fun by enjoying hero/villain ships
I love this! I love how (apart from this being a great coat) this is basically a video of you dressing up your husband for your own pleasure! Can't say I blame you (nor am I complaining!). Love how... bashful? your husband looked when getting ready. Not really his element I assume so thank him from us for going along with your wonderful shenanigans!
Mary Beard is the best! Besides all her great history work, I bow before her for her handling of a guy who made sexist ‘women should shut up’ comments to her on social media. She traced him, found his grandmother and pointed out to her what a naughty disrespectful grandson he was being. Legend!
I'm just gonna put this out into the universe: if someone wants to make a tutorial about how to make Alina's lacey nightgown thing.... GIVE IT TO ME PLEASE I NEED IT!!! 😍😍
You and your hubby are so stinking CUTE! It’s so cool that he’s into cosplay, too. My hubs is equally as huge of a nerd as I am, but his geekiness stops short of cosplay. I’m loving this whole series of keftas you’re making! I COMPLETELY agree with you on your ships, both books and show.
I love seeing you geek out about ships, the women's clothing on the show and men wearing embroidery. I think your passion in your project is a big part of why your channel is so great!
I love how your husband says "I know" about getting the coat 😂😂 of course he does he married the super talented sewtine ❤ if there is a fantasy series you both love and the villain is wearing embroidery of course the coat will be his!! You two look so great together 🥰🥰
i couldnt believe it when the obvious villain character turned out to be the villain, like how much more fun wouldnt it have been if the obvious villain character was just some dude who indulged in villain vibes, and maybe the obvious love interest best friend could just be a best friend cause 'just' friendships enough. but then again, its intended for a much younger audience
It would have been really cool to have him not be a villain, and be an actual descendant and just struggle a lot with that. Act villainous because it's what people expect of the shadow summoner, but be a relatively decent person inside. But nope... And hell, the guy ASKED FOR CONSENT
@@beckstheimpatient4135 manipulative, creepy, just a little too old and experienced yeah it doesnt add up to a fair kinda consent but at least he asked? they did have chemistry tho cause of their powers and stuff, and there was such great room for character struggles in that universe, like having to be something you dont really wanna be and maybe they could find the way forward together yeah some kinda balance ooh maybe if the world had some grey morality it couldve played off of that, instead of just being light and dark morality
It's even more obvious in the books ! He almost tramples Alina with his carriage, is called the Darkling instead of General Kirigan, he tells her his real age since the beginning so everytime he talks to her and charms her it's reaaaally creepy, and he calls his mom bad names xD
Oh, this kefta looks so good. As does your husband wearing it :D Also, the de-dogging of the kefta edited into Darkling's apartment is the scene I didn't know I was missing in the show. Brilliant!
This! Nothing gives me more joy than seeing peoples eyes sparkle talking about something they enjoy! Even when I have no interest in the topic itself, there is something so appealing about unashamed geekery!
My husband wouldn't let me name our kids after sci-fi/fantasy characters but my dog is Buffy and my cat Morticia! My husband is a board game guy who hates tv! 😱 Im gonna have to check this show out!
My son has asked for a Darkling inspired coat to wear, get this, all the time because why not, mom? So, I really appreciate this video and am waiting for the jerkin to complete his outfit. Thank you and to your husband for playing along too.
so i was watching some crimson peak stuff yesterday and I learned that another reason they do that applique technique in films is so that they can rip them off and reuse them on other costumes to save time and money, esp for repeating motifs. Loved that tip about mitered corners! I always struggle with those....
Okay I needed to stop before you went on with the ships because I haven't seen the show yet but GOODNESS GRACIOUS that coat turned out STUNNING! Beaauuutiful work as always and I love that your husband was up for the fun!
Goodness. You built all of that off of a sweatshirt pattern. Absolutely amazing. The tip about lining up patterns is golden. Thank you. For your husbands jacket, maybe think of putting on "shields" at the underarm point. That way they can be replaced without damaging the beautiful, beautiful coat. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown
Me three, I'm actually feeling a little emotional that someone out of my normal shipping media completely and unexpectedly joyfully and wholeheartedly admitted to being both a Darklina and Reylo shipper.
It's so fun to see the playfulness between you and your handsome husband. And seeing him go gooby with the pups was awesome! My husband does something similar. The kefta looks amazing. I look forward to the rest of the outfit. Won't lie, I'm waiting for the blue one, even tho red is my favorite color
A. That pink off-the-shoulder dress is so super cute. B. The back-and-forth between snuggling the white, fluffy dogs and the vigorous lint rolling made me laugh out loud.
I can't keep up with your projects. I think you have a time turner. This was brilliant. Matt is a lucky guy to have you making such beautiful things for him.
I felt the childish excitement when you have found a partner that lets you enjoy your hobby with your husband. I loved this video because I need to finish my husband's tanjiro custody
If I remember correctly all Kefta embroidery is done by hand with goldwork and purls like you said….my hands already hate me because I want to make one but I definitely having some practice runs at the embroidery before attempting a full Kefta. And hand sewing the finishing touches on pieces is something I’ve found I love to do too. Even if the rest of it is all machine sewn the las t bits done by hand really make it feel homemade Also Mary beard is a brilliant choice!
same here i'm going to attempt making appliques for the kefta embroidery and only start the full coat if they turn out well lol. it will probably take me the whole summer!
@@phoebeu541 yes definitely! I would love to see it when its done let's both comment here when we finish our keftas. I'm going for a fabrikator one, hbu? (The amount of david kostyk screenshots i have on my laptop is ridiculous lol)
OMG you're both a Darklina AND a Reylo, this has made my evening! Not only do you sew amazing clothes and make beautiful, entertaining, crafty videos, you also understand shipping the "dark one" and the motivations behind the relationships. So good to find a kindred spirit in the costuming world. Thanks for this video, I enjoyed it so much.
I love your choice for a thrupple! I full heartedly agree! I would like to see Alina live out her human life with Mal and live out the long immortal one with the Darkling. However… I will also cast my vote for a polycule!
Aww! I loved how your husband seemed to really get into it. He even trimmed his beard to match! He looks very darkling-esque! No wonder you like the darling so much! He looks like your husband!
Finally, someone who directly comes out with the same feelings about the books ship 😍 and your husband is such a good sport ! Also, he has great insight about the tv ships, I hadn't thought of that, but it does seem like a very plausible outcome 😅
The way you describe Ben Barnes' acting 😍😍😍precisely! He's such a great actor for these roles especially! This video ahhhh my nerdy heart is bursting. Thank you Dr. Christine. ❤️🐐
I didn't Eee so loud this time - I've been practicing. I do still have a huge grin that is hurting my face though. 1. Thankyou for going through all the design process decisions. That is really useful and I love seeing how people decide to do things. 2. The dynamic between you and your husband is wonderful! What a great partner to your adventures. 3. The darkling kefta is aaaahhhhhh mazing! Wow. Just oh Wow.
You and Matt are so absolutely adorable I can’t even with this video! The lint rolling bit makes me giggle a lot and Matt is such partner goals for being so down to dress up for you! Y’all are SO PRECIOUS 😍
I didn't know your son was Malcolm after Captain Reynolds!!! That's amazing! I was too young for Firefly when it was actually airing but I watched it with my dad some years ago and it changed my life.
I LOVED IT! IloveitIloveitIloveit! The kefta is glorious! I'm nuts over embroidery, too; I totally understand your obsession. How fortunate that Matt is dark-haired. He completes the Darkling look perfectly! And of course you are wearing your keftas together! I look forward to seeing the rest of your kefta konstruction!
As someone who does goldwork embroidery, I can't imagine stitching those keftas. That is a lot of work! Loved watching your video and how you created the Darkling's coat.
I’m so here for you liking both ships!! It’s so great to see other people as into this as I am, and honestly these keftas you’re making are stunning!!! Keep doing (and shipping) what brings you joy! 💕🙏🏼
I love how your coat came out! The black/silver on black embroidery looks so subtle and yet sophisticated. I really like how, from a distance, it just looks like texture and I think it adds well to the fact that, well... darkness just camouflages the shadows. SPOILER: I totally agree with what you said about wanting Alina to be single in the books. I was totally Team Sun Summoner! Just let her be awesome with her powers and forget these guys and whatever they want from her. I'm still a little sad she lost her powers. I didn't hate Mal and he was definitely the better option in the end, but I didn't like how he was jealous of Nikolai all the time and even said he wished she didn't have powers at one point! The show definitely did both Mal and the Darkling a lot better, but Mal, even though sweet and supportive, still lacks an agenda of his own. I wish they'd give him a goal that's just his and isn't just 'finding Alina and keeping Alina save'. I think it would add a lot more interest to his character than just him being the love interest that tags along.
Yay for women sci-fi fanatics! (I meant to mention this in my first comment post.) Big fan for 50 years, here. When you mentioned Ben Barnes, I was thinking, "Wasn't he in Prince Caspian?" Then you showed stills: "yes, yes he was." I haven't watched this show yet, but with your enthusiasm, it looks like I need to!
I'm in the anti-darkling camp, even before the "twist" (because, who didn't see that coming) I thought he looked at her like an object of power and not a person. Major creeps.
Oh. My. Goodness. I always love your videos but this one had a whole extra level of wholesome that I didn't know how much my soul needed until I watched it! Waiting to watch the spoilers until after I finish watching the season!!
Oh my god, I trying to make a cosplay for the first time and I noticed the there's some embroidery in. I had no idea about getting some sheer/see through material and using that to make the pattern. YOU have helped me greatly with this THank you thank you thank you
“[...] for anyone interested in making their own Kofta.” When you love interesting clothes but hate sewing but you still learn to sew because you won’t get to wear that clothes any other way.
@@looli1327 I’ve got mad respect for the amount of projects Sewstine churns out. I did not expect a second Kofta video to come out so soon after her red one.
I love hand sewing but I hate using a machine and I hate following a pattern. I would much rather draft my own pattern than follow one that's already made. (I'm a sewing mess).
@@killedbyrabbits I draft my own patterns too. It’s faster to make my own than to go through the hassle of adjusting commercial patterns. Though I really struggle with the machine, I still prefer the machine to hand sewing.
@@hotjanuary I feel like drafting a unique pattern just makes more sense (in my brain anyway)! I seriously have no idea what my problem with machine is. It's an amazing tool for sewing but I just fill with rage any time I use one even if there are no issues and everything goes smoothly. lol. (I'll suck it up and use one if it's a big project I'm working on)
I just loved that little bit at the end where your husband says "Fine. Make me your villain." Then next clip he is talking sweetly to the dogs telling them he won't slice them up. They are too cute to be sliced up. Gotta love a guy who can act all tough and villainous then turn into a big softy over the fur babies. ❤
Yes! And then the lint roller to clean up the fluffy white aftermath! 😂
Honestly that made me giggle.
Let’s start a petition to have Christine do a walk-on part for the next season of S&B!
She'd be like "Bru you don't even have to get me a costume, I have it here."
That would be awesome. Even better if she designed a few costumes.
the embroidery is probably supposed to be black on black, but for filming purposes usually everything that is supposed to be black is either dark purple or blue or maybe gray. Otherwise you would just kinda see a black void in the video
Wanted to say this! Screen accurate with lights/color correction and prop/costume accurate will look different so it'll show up.
I would like to note as a lesbian that 18th century shirts and embroidered coats are also completely gorgeous and dreamy on women... Alina...
Not a lesbian but just as taken by them! :-)
Shadow and bone really said theyre gonna give the lesbians everything they want

Listen, if they didn't want us to love the Darkling.... They wouldn't have cast Ben Barnes. 🤷🏻♀️
(They knew what they were doing.)
yessss
EXACTLYYYYYY. They knew what they were doing. (And this is Caspian love payoff IMO)

The little smoochies for playing along slew me. My husband has indulged my dress-up inclination once or twice... Matt seems more game.
Matt is adorable and they're just SO cute together

I like to think that, in universe, there are grisha tailors who do the insane embroidery on what are almost mass produced uniforms
Right and then like 3 episodes in we have Jenya saying she’s a tailor ha
Those are the durasts! The fabrikators. Genya is not that kind of tailor.
"he must love embroidery too" I almost spit out my drink 😂😂😂
Right? Was not expecting, but loved it.
I'm just gonna put this out into the universe: if someone wants to make a tutorial about how to make Alina's lacey nightgown thing.... GIVE IT TO ME PLEASE I NEED IT!!! 😍😍
check out Bernadette Banner's combonations video- It's pretty close and you could probably alter the design a bit to make it more accurate

I think the best ship is you two - you're ADORABLE
Gorgeous coat, too. How long did the embroidery take in total?
About 50-60 I think? It was definitely longer than the healer kefta which took 12-15! ^^ thank you for shipping us!! ❤️❤️❤️

Gotta say, it's SO CUTE seeing you and your husband stand next to each other. You're so tiny and he's so big!
Absolutely gorgeous work. Matt is also adorable. You two are so precious.
the coat is brilliant and your ship opinions are immaculate
YES IM LIVING FOR THE SHADOW AND BONE CONTENT
Yay for women sci-fi fanatics! (I meant to mention this in my first comment post.) Big fan for 50 years, here. When you mentioned Ben Barnes, I was thinking, "Wasn't he in Prince Caspian?" Then you showed stills: "yes, yes he was." I haven't watched this show yet, but with your enthusiasm, it looks like I need to!
It's beautiful! I love how spine-y the back looks, and the effect of the two different colour threads.
My face hurts from smiling too much!! You two are so adorable❣️ 😊🥰😁
The way your red kefta moves is beautiful!
I'm in the anti-darkling camp, even before the "twist" (because, who didn't see that coming) I thought he looked at her like an object of power and not a person. Major creeps.
what crazy synchronicity - I am literally mitering corners on a quilt as I'm watching you miter corners of binding :D :D
All your videos make me happy, but envious at how talented you are.
so excited that the show got renewed for season 2. hopefully we'll see more awesome costumes
OH MY GOODNESS!!! Thanks so much for that corners tip!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Oh. My. Goodness. I always love your videos but this one had a whole extra level of wholesome that I didn't know how much my soul needed until I watched it! Waiting to watch the spoilers until after I finish watching the season!!
The two of you in matching keftas are sooo cute!
Oh my god, I trying to make a cosplay for the first time and I noticed the there's some embroidery in. I had no idea about getting some sheer/see through material and using that to make the pattern. YOU have helped me greatly with this
THank you thank you thank you
“[...] for anyone interested in making their own Kofta.” When you love interesting clothes but hate sewing but you still learn to sew because you won’t get to wear that clothes any other way.
I hate sewing too! But no choice if I want hyper-specialized clothing 🤷🏽♀️
@@looli1327 I’ve got mad respect for the amount of projects Sewstine churns out. I did not expect a second Kofta video to come out so soon after her red one.
I love hand sewing but I hate using a machine and I hate following a pattern. I would much rather draft my own pattern than follow one that's already made. (I'm a sewing mess).
@@killedbyrabbits I draft my own patterns too. It’s faster to make my own than to go through the hassle of adjusting commercial patterns. Though I really struggle with the machine, I still prefer the machine to hand sewing.
@@hotjanuary I feel like drafting a unique pattern just makes more sense (in my brain anyway)! I seriously have no idea what my problem with machine is. It's an amazing tool for sewing but I just fill with rage any time I use one even if there are no issues and everything goes smoothly. lol. (I'll suck it up and use one if it's a big project I'm working on)
Amazing sewing as per usual and your husband looks fantastic in the coat
