How to Make a Historically Accurate Tunic

Ever wondered how to make one of those Halloween ghost costumes with a sheet? But, with a hole in it so you can play Julius Caesar in the school play, but then you only get casted as the understudy and that was disappointing but at the end of the day you're just happy that you got a callback? Look no further!
This is one of the simplest designs...its so simple I'm having a hard time even calling it a design. All you'll need is your sewing kit and a white sheet. We'll also cover how to make a less time consuming, though less accurate, tunic out of just a T-shirt.

A special thank you to Evan and Kacey for all the help, this wouldn't have been possible without you two.
