Coif Pattern: https://kittyjberry.etsy.com/listing/4317049026/coif-sewing-pattern-digital-pdf-pattern In this video I will be sharing my process for making a Coif, which is a historical close fitting cap. The coif was worn by many different people through the middles ages and up to the 17th century. You could make a coif with a more historical approach for a time period look, or you could make one for a fantasy inspired ensemble, or as a fashion forward and unique accessory. I will be detailing the sewing process for two coifs. One will be finished with a self made binding and the second will be finished with store-bought bias tape. I will also show several different coifs worn in a variety of ways. The coif pattern comes together rather simply, so you could put one together quickly as an outfit accessory. The coif is also great for using up scrap fabric, I was able to squeeze a couple different coifs from pieces of fabric I had leftover from previous projects. If you're interested in making a coif please check out my Downloadable PDF pattern which is available in my Etsy shop. You can find the pattern for the coif in my Etsy Shop: KittyJBerry Coif Pattern: https://kittyjberry.etsy.com/listing/4317049026/coif-sewing-pattern-digital-pdf-pattern My Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/KittyJBerry Materials used for the first Coif 75 x 50 cm of light blue Jacquard satin fabric matching thread Materials used for the second Coif 35 x 50 cm of light blue printed cotton fabric
