In this tutorial, I'll show you how to make the easiest tunic I know, perfect for LARP costumes, fancy dress, cosplay, historybounding, or a Renaissance faire. Whether you're an experienced sewist or a beginner, you'll find this tutorial clear and easy to follow. Got just a couple of metres of fabric and a few hours? You'll be able to whip this up in no time

We'll start by taking measurements to get the right fit for your tunic, then move on to drafting the pattern. I'll show you step by step how to sew up the tunic, using simple techniques that anyone can master. Along the way, I'll also share some tips and tricks for getting the best results.

But that's not all! I'll also show you how to adapt the pattern to make a coat or robe with front extensions, as well as how to make a lined version of the tunic. This will include a detailed explanation of how to sew the sleeve lining into the cuff by machine.

Throughout the video, I'll discuss the historical inspiration behind this pattern, including jeogori, hanfu, and kimono. We'll explore how these Asianinspired historical garments influenced European fashion in the 17th and 18th centuries, leading to the development of the wrapping gown and other similar styles.

Finally, I'll also touch on some easier alternatives to the tunic, such as the chiton and tunica. Whether you're looking to create an authentic historical costume or simply want to try your hand at sewing a simple and stylish garment, this tutorial has something for everyone. So grab your fabric and let's get started!
