Making Two Shifts Out of a Single Cut of Fabric

They say it's more economical to make two shifts out of a single cut of fabric. I thought I'd give this theory a test, while I prepare for two upcoming, historically-inspired projects. One is a medieval, early-15th century smock for my Halloween costume, and the other, a late-17th century chemise for an upcoming historical mash-up project (watch the video for a hint...) As I delve into the wonderful world of historical hand-sewing, the obvious place to start is with the basic garments that were worn beneath clothes for hundreds of years. Smocks, shifts, chemises--known by many different names, these foundation garments were usually made of linen and served to protect the body as well as the outer garments. In this video, I attempt to make two shifts from a single cut of fabric, with a few mistakes along the way. In the process, I get up to a LOT of shifty business, if you know what I mean...
