Very nice.

That's what taught me to do it. Ever so sick.

Awesome Article. I used to hang with the guy who posted this in the Burning lands in Amtgard back in El Paso TX.

Thats really great, one of the better tutorials I've seen in a while

One thing that I use for applique is Heat and Bond, which is basically full sheets of seam a seam, that way if the item you are appliqueing is finicky or has a lot of strange curves you can fuse the entire piece of fabric to the garment, and then you don't have to worry about anything shifting

My wife, Sorcia, and I use the same stuff.

Has anyone worked with the temporary spray adhesive for doing applique? It's supposed to disappear after a couple of weeks (or washings, I suspect) and is used much like regular spray adhesive.

Just recommending this for addition to the Tutorial Sticky.

LOL, so here I am browsing this forum and I see the thread title and think "hey I should see what this ones about maybe it'll give me something to add to my tutorial"...... lol again.

Thanks for posting this Kyrain!

Here are a few others I've done (years old at this point):

There are more but mostly geared toward Amtgard Tech, I'm also starting a Plastidip entry on the Amtwikki:

I'd figured this method out on my own but when I saw your tutorial I started posting it in response to questions on all three major boards I visit. It's a good one.

Thank you for posting this. Nicely done Fitz...I'm definitely going to experiment with this method.

Works good, but not a clean as the iron on stuff.

Are you saying you used to hang out with Fitz in EL Paso?
Really?

I'm interested in seeing the different ways and different materials used in your inner tunics, both face character and generic.

Nope, he's saying he used to hang with Kyrian, who started this thread.

That is what I was trying to say.

Arrakis' link takes you to another site. Click "Applique Tunic" and download it. It's a PDF file and is very useful. Also shows up well on a Kindle Fire, if you're looking for portability without printing.

This is seriously one of the easiest tunics that I've made. Its a period design, saves on wasted fabric, its incredibly simple to do the measurements for (4 measurements), and its all (except the neck hole) straight seams. Its also a VERY forgiving pattern, with no intricacies, and works well with most fabrics.

Please be aware that the little measurement chart that is included has been modified to make it a dress. Shortening the bottom hem to the knee-area (just above, knee, or just below, your preference) is the easiest modification. All of the dimensions in the cutting guide are based on those measurements.

Insets 3-8 can also be done in a different color to add a nice contrast.
