How to sew a loose fitting simple abaya/kaftan

This is a video tutorial for how to make a loose fitting simple abaya and also how to make a kaftan as well. I used a medium weight fabric because that is what I had on hand but if I were making this as an actual garment I would use a light weave woven fabric or a nice light knit fabric. This is a basic tutorial, I hope that you guys see it and take the basic tutorial and make beautiful abayas and kaftans with your embellishments and modifications to the basic pattern.
