15th-Century Linen Shirt

 

I have a bunch of Medieval stuff but for some reason I didn’t have a linen shirt. That bothered me so I set to work. This is a remarkably easy project. Something cool, though, is that all the seams are French seams. That took a little forethought so nothing got bound up or twisted. 

Final Product

Patterning 

I don’t think this took me more than 20 minutes honestly.

Medieval undergarments are almost always based on squares, rectangles, and right angles with minimal tailoring.
