A tale of two tunics.....
Posted: Fri Feb 25, 2022 12:58 pm
Another clothing post here, I know that hand sewn garments can be intimidating to make and expensive to buy so here I post the tale of two tunics.
These are exactly the same tunic and the photos are of the same parts of the tunics.
Both were ordered 'machine sewn, hand finished' from Slav Medieval Shop.
On one of them I have gone over the entire tunic with linen thread and stitched over the 'hand stitching' from Slav. The difference is obvious and one now looks completely hand sewn, the other.... well not so.
I am no tailor, my sewing sucks but even I can manage to over-sew and the result is a very accurate looking tunic at a fraction of the price. Well worth considering for those on a budget or who can't sew to save themselves!
