How to Make a Roman Tunic: Easy Sewing Tutorial

There is a joke in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) especially in the Kingdom of Meridies located in the Southeastern USA that "In the summer, we're all Roman" Or "we're all Greek." Basically it is too hot to wear anything else besides a rectangle of linen, so everyone's persona moves to a country with a Mediterranean climate for the summer. I had made myself a roman outfit already, and my husband and I like to coordinate time periods, so I decided to make him a roman tunic last summer. I made it pretty quick before an event. Roman tunics, or tunica's, are really easy to make. 2 seams, a head hole, and a hem is really all you need. I then added the red stripes or clavi for decoration. My husbanded loved it and it has become his favorite thing to wear in the summer! This Roman garb would be a great project for a beginner who is just starting to build their historical wardrobe. It is all straight seams and rectangles. I did not use a pattern for this outfit but rather self drafted as I went with my measurements. Here is the link to the one I made for myself: https://youtu.be/8Zk-uq7MFeQ Belle's Book Club T-shirt: https://www.pagewings.com/products/pagewings-belle%E2%80%98s-book-club-unisex-classic-t-shirt?sku=18069691692355462124200260 If you would like to become a member of the Historical Belle Society you can join on my Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/c/HistoricalBelle If you enjoyed this video please consider giving me a tip on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com
