Tonight I reviewed Rose’s clothes for festival. While she can still fit in the tunics I made for her three years ago, her arms and legs are too long for them. I need to make new ones and I think they have to be adult style tunics, to save on fabric.
They’re loosely based on the St Louis shirt and the bocksten bog man’s kirtle. This is the pattern I use for my smocks too.
I’ll make them from the 110cm lightweight linen I have.
Here’s the cutting and sewing layout for the tunic;
I haven’t made them yet, but the pattern is based on the measurements I took tonight:
Shoulder to floor – 94cm
Waist to floor – 64cm
Chest – 57cm
Hip/bum – 64 cm
Arm length 41cm
