How To Insert A Gusset || Make Your Tunic Even More Comfy!

A gusset greatly improves the range of motion and the overall comfortableness of wearing a tunic, especially for longer periods of time.
Earlier this year I made a tutorial suited for beginner and experienced sewists alike on how to make a easy tunic ( • Easy Historical Tunic ... ) . I already wanted to include how to make a gusset, as it does make the tunic even more comfy, but then the video would become rather long. However, I had to make another tunic, so figured this is a great opportunity to film how to insert a gusset into your tunic! So, this video can be used as an extra to the previous tutorial, but can also be used for pretty much any other historical tunic tutorial.

This tutorial is a followup on kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m617oKZ9x9jNd40.html. You can use this as an addition to that tutorial, or insert these gussets on any kind of T-tunic.

“Stay out of the seam allowance “ This helped me thank you

I have watched just about every damn gusset tutorial there is in the universe, but this is the ONLY one that has been able to probe my thick skull and implant the knowledge. All the others skip several (often extremely important) steps, and is more confusing than educating! Huge thanks, and please do ALL the tutorials!

@MarisArmoury Жыл бұрын

Whooo, thanks! Glad it was of help! Because it is a thing that requires a few thinking steps I figured why not film the entire thing, people can then see which steps they need.

Yes I like this tutorial, I usually make mine but cut in half ! Half for the sleeve & half for the shirt then sew at the armpit! This is the way I was taught , but there’s always room for new ideas !

@MarisArmoury Ай бұрын

In sewing there are so many ways to do things, and that is a good thing! Some things work better for some people than others :)

i watched this because i had no idea what a gusset was when a friend mentioned it to me, and even after finding out he meant something else, i kept watching, and now i have a strong desire to sew a tunic with gussets. that looks so dang comfy. thank you.

My very first tunic had gussets like this. It was a pain to fit them, because the explanation wasn't very clear. I've been cutting the gussets in half and stitching the two halves together since. With this explanation I might actually try for a complete gusset in my next tunic project again. Thanks!

@r8chlletters 6 ай бұрын

Thank you for this great follow-along-I can appreciate why gussets were abandoned in favor of more ergonomic sleeve designs. It’s a bit of work placing gussets and they don’t have the same strength as an encased or French seam.

This helped me so much. I’m not making a tunic, but a historical pattern I’m using, it said gusset and I was like “uhhhhhhh wtf how do I use this” this was so helpful!! Thank you

I was just suggested to use gussets as i made a cosplay where the seams gave out on the armpits. (A litteral triangle shape) this made alot of sense and u did amazing explaining it. Ill apply this to my next cosplay ^^

I'm so glad you have done this tunic tutorial. Your explanation for the neck facing is crystal clear and I'm looking forward to trying my hand at it. I am going to add gores to the sides under the gussets for that extra bit of flair once the tunic is belted.

@MarisArmoury Жыл бұрын

Oh yes, gores are a wonderful addition to this type of tunic as well. One more way in which a relatively easy adjustment gives a completely different look to it. And thanks for the kind words glad the instructions are clear!

Love both the videos for the tunic! I drew out the seam allowance on the gusset to make it even easier for my brain to do it, lol. Now I can do it without rewatching the video. I feel fancy with the keyhole opening as well! Your tutorials are clear and fun! Keep 'em coming!

@MarisArmoury 11 ай бұрын

Thank you! Glad they worked for you! And drawing out the seam allowance is a smart one! If you'd like a less permanent version of that you might find 'thread tracing' interesting to look up. I still do that quite a lot for more difficult patterns or seams that will be difficult to line up like round sleeves.

@ingridrichter4681 3 ай бұрын

These instructions are very clear and I am going to try to make the trousers with the gusset soon. As a very inexperienced sewist, I am wondering what the benefit of the gusset is over just adding more fabric to the sleeve or pant piece? Is it just easier to measure without needing a pattern?

@MarisArmoury 3 ай бұрын

Yup pretty much that. Working with square pieces is a lot easier than curves or weird protrusions. And adding in the gussets is a way to add in more fabric than if it was cut from one piece.

I just learned about gussets. I wonder why people didn’t just bell out the sleeve to avoid having to add a gusset.

@MarisArmoury Жыл бұрын

I have a feeling that adding a square piece of fabric to a pattern that only consists of other rectangles is easier than changing the shape of the sleeve piece.

@darknessfierce4209 8 ай бұрын

I have heard that it was easier to change out when that part of the shirt failed

@Gainn 10 ай бұрын

Never really thought about doing it this way, and I've just cut the sleeve material with an extra diamond shape at the armpit part and then indented the sleeves a little more than the fake gusset. similar effect, far less work. :P

@MarisArmoury 10 ай бұрын

That is an interesting idea as well, I'll remember that one! This particular method is a more historically accurate way, but if that is not relevant your suggestion does save some some seam sewing.

@arh9068 5 ай бұрын

why not just have a larger hole connecting from the body to the shoulder and taper the sleeve down to the wrist?

@MarisArmoury 5 ай бұрын

That is a possibility, but if you do that you don't have 'extra' fabric that can move along with your arms. If you just widen the sleeve hole and the sleeve the entire garment will still pull up if you lift your arms. It also changes the look of your garment, you can look at 'batwing sleeves' for some extreme examples.

What material is that? It looks really comfortable and the perfect look for a tunic

@MarisArmoury 3 ай бұрын

I used a double gauze cotton for this. First time using it and I love it! It feels very soft and keeps nicely cool in summer. It does fray a lot so make sure to finish the edges properly.
