Basic T-tunic
Construction techniques (2-Hours) - Saturday 10am – 12 Noon
Teacher – HL Agnes berengarii de girona
Description - T-tunics are a staple of SCA life. They are period
appropriate for over half of the SCA period. But did you know that knowing
the techniques for cutting a proper T-tunic can help get you set up to
create a host of other rectangular constructed garments and even help with
your later period clothing? Also, find out about manipulating the patterns
to make most of the garb that you will need. All students will take home
their pattern pieces ready to stitch. If we have time, the instructor will
introduce some hand
stitching techniques.
