Tunics varied in length from reasonably short (covering the bum/thighs) to very long (ground-length). The longer tunics appear in the later period and seem to be worn by men of rank - possibly a ceremonial costume. I have given instructions here for a knee-length tunic, which is about average (For a longer tunic - make as the dress).
   The sleeves of the tunic are at least wrist length. Some tunics show a series of lines at the wrist which has been suggested could be pleating. The common view (in re-enactment circles) is that the sleeves were made over-long and then pushed back up to wrinkle around the wrist. Practical experience shows that these types of sleeve are warmer than wider versions. All sleeves shown seem to be close-fitting.
   The neckline of the tunic can be either round (wide enough for the head to go through), or round with a slit (wide enough for the neck - the slit allowing the head to go through).
   The skirts of tunics also seem to be fairly wide as evidenced by the wrinkles in them. This could be acheived by cutting the skirt in one with the side edges angled out - or more practically (given the loom sizes mentioned previously) adding gussets.

• Fold your fabric lengthways (so the two selvedge edges are together) and lay it on a flat surface.
• With tape-measure and chalk/pencil mark along each long edge, your knape to knee measurement (E).
• With scissors cut this length along the red line.

• Take your chest measurement (A), half it and add on 6 inches/15cm.
• With tape-measure and chalk/pencil mark this measurement along each short edge.

• Find a saucepan lid that about matches your head circumference (Q).
• Open out the fabric and place it end to end with a slight overlap of about 1 inch/2.5cm
• Place your saucepan lid over the overlap and centre it between the long edges. It needs to be slightly further towards one end to make the cut-out deeper at the front than the back.
• Cut out this shape (the red circle).

2. Round with a slit:

• Find a saucepan that about matches your neck circumference (H).
• Open out the fabric and place it end to end with a slight overlap of about 1 inch/2.5cm
• Place your saucepan lid over the overlap and centre it between the long edges. It needs to be slightly further towards one end to make the cut-out deeper at the front than the back.
• Cut out this shape (the red circle).
• Fold the front of the tunic in half and make a little cut in the fabric at the fold.

Decide whether you want wrinkled sleeves or plain straight ones. There are two ways of cutting sleeves; the first is if your arms are longer than half the width of your fabric (and you want wrinkled sleeves), the second is if you have short arms (or want plain straight sleeves).

• With tape-measure and chalk/pencil mark along each long edge, your bicep measurement (K).
• Cut this length along the red line.
• Then mark the same again and cut again.
• Open out both pieces of fabric and place them together.

• With tape-measure and chalk/pencil mark along each long edge, your shoulder to wrist measurement (I) and your shoulder to elbow measurement (J).
• From where your shoulder to wrist measurement ends add on another 6 inches/15 cm (this will form the wrinkle).
• Cut this length along the red line.

• With tape-measure and chalk/pencil mark along each long edge, your bicep measurement (K).
• Cut this length along the red line.
• With the fabric still folded cut along the fold.

• With tape-measure and chalk/pencil mark along each long edge, your shoulder to wrist measurement (I) and your shoulder to elbow measurement (J).
• Cut this length along the red line.

• Fold each sleeve in half lengthways.
• On one end of the folded sleeve piece mark a little over half your hand measurement (L).
• From this point cut along the red line to your previously marked elbow point (use your shoulder to elbow measurement from the other end).
• (For the long sleeve or wrinkled sleeve the angle of the red line will be shallower).

Out of the off-cuts of fabric from the sleeves make two squares of fabric about 6 inches/15cm each side.

• Take the remaining fabric and open it out and lay it on a flat surface.
• Cut the piece in half from short end to short end (and in half again if four gussets are required).
• Fold each piece in half.
• With tape-measure and chalk/pencil mark along from the top folded corner diagonally to the bottom cut corner, your waist to knee measurement (G).
• Cut along the red line.
• Do the same for the remaining gusset pieces.

• Open out the front and back body pieces and lay on a flat surface.
• Make sure that the 'right-side' is uppermost.
• Open out a gusset piece and lay the diagonal edge of the triangle on one side of the body, with the base of the triangle level with the base of the tunic.
• Stitch a gusset onto each body piece as shown.
• Check all seam edges are on the same side of the fabric!

• Measure the sleeve 'head' (the widest end) and mark half this on each sleeve piece.
• Match the centre point of the sleeve to the shoulder seam of the body and make sure 'right-sides' are together.
• Stitch the sleeve piece to the body piece.
• Do the same for the other sleeve on the other side of the body.
• Check all seam edges are on the same side of the fabric!

• Open out the tunic and open out all panels.
• Fold the tunic in half 'right-sides' together - all seam edges should be on the outside.
• Stitch the tunic together along the side edges. This may be a bit tricky at the under-arm gusset as you have to fold it diagonally. When you get to this point, stop the machine and with the needle still in the fabric lift the foot and re-arrange the fabric as you need.
