American Indian Costume

Trousers of the American Indian Costume

•  Using running stitch, sew both edges of the zig zag strips to the trouser fabric to make sure they're securely attached (as a general rule, use one stitch at the peak and dip of each wave.)

• Secure the strips by stitching over them (see above).

•  Assemble the pieces with the front and back together.

                                       

•  Attach the fringing to the side seams, from the waist to the edge of the bottom hem. 

Tunic of the American Indian Costume 

• Place the pattern for the tunic on the reverse side of the material (folded in half). 
• Cut out the tunic: place the centre line on the fold in the fabric.  

• Draw the bib to fit the neckline. 

• Attach a zig zag strip to the circumference of the bib, leaving the neckline plain.  

•  Place the bib on the front of the tunic, pin and stitch in place.  

•  Sew fringing to the side seams.
