Much in the same vein there's Maggie Forest's T-tunic page, it has a bit more labeled diagrams that may work better for some: http://www.forest.gen.nz/Medieval/articles/Tunics/TUNICS.HTML Also I think maybe the patterns in Katherine Holkeboer's Patterns for Theatrical Costumes might be simple enough that people with little sewing experience won't be daunted. Since authenticity isn't key, they'd work fine (I think, I don't have the book in front of me). Or there's always Sarah Thursfield's Medieval Tailor's Assistant, for those who have a bit more interest in sewing, but don't want to go all-out on the research.
