as for a pattern I took a long sleeve camo shirt I had and just un seamed it laid it out on skins flat I masked taped around the pattern.. front ,back and arms.. literally took me 2 months to get the courage to put the scissors to it..LOL...I'm over that now..I'll cut a skin now without a two month stare down..LOL... when I sewed it I added some of the left over pieces for the fringe.my left over pieces were the skin edge so they are different lengths .. which IMO look more authentic than all being equal...just cut your fringe after you sew it... I then wet fringe and pulled it some and twisted in reverse twist style four pieces at a time and let dry. this is only if you want a twisted fringe which I did and I like it much better.. after drying I untwist and pull and they came out perfect, they will be a lil stiff you work some and eventually they get soft again and lay perfect.... you can put fringe where ever you want at any seam.... I wanted arms and around shoulders where arms meet a mix of mountain man and Indian style.... shirt fits perfectly like it was tailor made.. well I guess it was..LOL... as for leggings..I had a pair of chaps that I used for a pattern and shrunk them a lil since they were larger than I wanted.. sewed in fringe at seam all way down.. you can easily trim the length down leg easier rather than adding but I left them all way.. soon as the season is done I am going to do another outfit .. skins are already done.. gut
