Historical Belle | How to Make a Medieval Kirtle | NO PATTERN NEEDED: Easy Sewing Tutorial @HistoricalBelle | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
In this video I will show you how I made a medieval kirtle (or dress) with no pattern and just a T-Shirt.
This Kirtle is styled as it would have been for a middling sort of woman in the high middle ages particularly the 13th Century (specifically 1200-1250 Europe)
Today, these tunics are sometime colloquially called "T-Tunics" as they kind of look like a T when laid flat.
I originally made this kirtle for a Mediaeval Themed Homeschool Day where I work, but then my husband and I decided that we needed more places to wear these outfits, so we looked up our local Society of Creative Anachronism (SCA) shire and attended our 1st event with them. More on that later...
If you are interested in getting started in historical costuming the medieval era (particularly the high middle ages) is a great time period to start in for beginners. Lots of straight lines and simple shapes.
I have two other video's in this series where I talk more about how to use the T-Shirt as a guide:
