Easy Historical Tunic Tutorial || LARP, Renfaire & Fantasy Sewing

If you enjoyed this tutorial and would like to thank me you can buy me a cup of tea: https://ko-fi.com/marisarmoury

A tunic is a great basic layer for just about any costume! Whether you are planning a LARP, renfaire or historical viking costume it can never hurt to have one around. And best of all, tunics are one of the easier garments to sew! So this tutorial is pretty suited for those that do not have a lot of sewing experience yet. To give a bit of variation, I show you how to make a keyhole neckline, and how to vary with some side splits and different ways of finishing the hems.
As mentioned in the video, if you sew along and get stuck at any part, do not hesitate to ask any question in the comments!

In case you want to be able to read the facing instructions on your own speed, this is the method I mostly follow: https://ilsa-makes-things.tumblr.com/...
