Good day.
I'm back. And here, with my newly found time, is the first installment of the tunic series. I bought the fabric from www.fabrics-store.com, where their fabric is exceptionally well priced. I chose an olive green.
It arrived in good time, and I then packed it right up to move. No sense in starting only to find no time to do anything later.
Yesterday, I finally got around to measuring and cutting the fabric, a task made more difficult by a lack of chalk and scissors (packed).
Cut out, in seven pieces:
Last night, I sewed the gore pieces together. I could have cut out solid triangles, but cutting rectangles in half conserves fabric, which is a very Viking solution, despite the fact that I have a considerable amount extra.
I then sewed the sleeves to the body:
And then the gores:
Then I sewed up the sleeves:
And I started sewing up the sides, attaching the other side of the gores in the process.
Till next time,
