Hello everyone I'm posed to start my pre-pennsic sewing spree (mostly for others as i have jury duty starting july 28th!). My husband has outgrown most of his old garb AND is finally letting me make him something besides dells. Ok, so have I - outgrown my outfits, but that is priority at this point.
So he finally decided on just basic t-tunics and pants (but waits until may/june to decide ARGH!), but i have small troubles with t-tunics, hopefully ya'all will be as helpful with t-tunic questions as you are with more complicated questions question 1) Hubby has grown quite a beer belly, which is a bit of a fitting challenge. I have some methods, and i base the basic construction on http://www.virtue.to/articles/tunic_worksheet.html, but i am always having trouble dealing with how to adjust the fit so that the shoulders are not too big, yet the belly drapes ok, and the gores do have to start directly under the arms. if anyone has pointers on how to gracefully manage t-tunics so that they look nice and fit all parts of the body, i would be most grateful. I end up not making the main tunic a rectangle, but a more of a trapazoid, and if i need to i can making a drawing and post it, but I assume that ya'all have better methods then i do, so what would be the point, but if you want me to, I can post. questiohn 2) I am looking for trim options. Can anyone point me to their fav pictures of t-tunics in art? question 3) I am looking for pictures of modern sca/recreaters in good looking t-tuincs, can anyone point me to them on the web? I mean good/period looking pictures, not the stupid looking i made my first piece of garb out of some poly thing garb. (my first garb was a skirt and ren fair chimes out of ply so i am not trying to be critical, just that is not of which i am looking for pictures.)
