Thank you for this tutorial. Very easy to follow. Thank you also for the pdfs. Looking forward to the next in the series. When your health starts behaving. On a side note. I'm soooo jealous of your glamorous assistants hair.
Excellent lesson as always. I really appreciate that you include how to be mindful of the comfort of the person being measured. Measuring your body can be stressful enough in itself, and with another person writing down your numbers and touching your body added to it as well it can be straight up horrible. It pays to know ways to make the experience easier, and maybe even nice!
Thankyou. :) it absolutely can be so uncomfortable, and the temptation might be to rush through it and end up with wrong measurements. Body positivity is absolutely the goal but it is still a struggle for many people and there is no shame in that, we have a lot of conditioning to unpick around it all, and folks have trauma they may not be ok to talk about, it can feel a little strange at first to check in like that but it's so so helpful, and should be more normalised.
This is so well timed for me too, a couple of days ago my teenage child asked me to teach them how to make their own gear (the same child who was highly resistant to our historic hobby for the first 12 of their 14.5 years of life). Thanks so much for this.
Congratulations on the video! Probably the easiest to follow for this that's out there. I sure wish I'd had this back in the stone age, when I first took up costuming.
English is not my first language, I know very little about sewing and your videos are just really easy to follow and understand. You are doing an awesome series! Thank you so much
Great guide. I have multiple dresses and tunics to sew for hubby and I in the next couple months so this is perfect.

It is rather fabulous hair isn't it. :)

This is very useful if wanting to make a pattern for a banyan or caftan as well!!!
Absolutely!
This is incredibly useful and well-timed, I'm just about to make a high-status tunic with some posh cloth and I don't want to mess it up!
Yay for the good timing! Good luck with the tunic. :)
Thank you so much for this! So great to see you again ...and wearing your Skjolderheim tunic... so cool

You are very welcome. :) glad to hear they are getting excited about making their own gear. :)
I used to teach all of this; must say this is an excellent tutorial.
Thank you so much for the feedback, much appreciated. :)
