This is the modern way of making a tunic. It is slightly more difficult to cut around the shoulders than the other patterns but it does produce a better fit around the arms.

Firstly cut out the pieces. The distance X-Y on the body should match the distance X-Y on the sleeves.

Only cut a slit for the neck in one of the body sections (the front).

1. Once you have all the pieces sew up the shoulder seams.
2. Fit and sew in the sleeves. Make sure that you get the selves fitted in centrally so that there won't be a twist when the tunic is sewn up.
3. Sew up the tunic from wrist to knee on both sides. I actually find it better to leave about 6 inches at the bottom and hem the edges to leave side splits rather than sewing all the way down to the bottom as this eases movement.
4. Hem around the bottom edge, neckline and cuffs.
