So I got my chamise done today. I’m so happy to get one of the garments done today.
So my technique was suggested to me by a friend. It’s a fold method. I folded the fabric in half lengthwise. Then folded again.
I then cut the fabric. Once it was done, I sewed a inch seam all around the edges. Then I rolled the seams since linen is notorious for fraying (And I’ve done that mistake only once).
I’m glad I finished one piece. I may embellish the collar and sleeves if I have time.
Hi there! How did you determine where to cut to make this pattern/garment? Did you use measurements (and if so, what measurements did you use)? I like that you finished the seams!
I made it like I would a basic t-tunic. I folded it in half lengthwise then again with wise. I layed down on the middle fold and roughly got where I needed the arm pit area to be. I had extra fabric that if I needed to I could add gore’s or a gusset in the arm area.
Hope that helps.

I had extra fabric that if I needed to I could add gore’s or a gusset in the arm area. I used 4 yards of 59 inch wide linen (from fabric-store dot com.)
Hope that helps.
