The way to cut Lunetius is going to depend on what fabric you have chosen to use. If you have enough fabric width you can cut it _on the fold_. If you dont, you can cut two halves and later sew them together. To not have to later finish the centre back edge you can cut with the centre back edge on the selvage.
- Cut **1 lacerna** part on the fold
- or Cut **2 lacerna** parts
A lot of garments were woven to shape in the Roman era, so this is one aspect where you dont need to worry about historical accuracy at all, unless you would like to weave your Lunetius to shape.

title: Fabric options

In the Roman era both linen and wool were widely available so both would be appropriate for this project. Silk was also available but it was very much a fancy fabric used to show off wealth and status as it had to come from abroad.
A lot of the fabrics found in military contexts like excavated forts are tightly woven twills that would be good at keeping the weather out. If you want to have a historically appropriate fabric then a wool twill would be a great choice.

<Note>
All the sewing can be done by machine or by hand as you prefer. If you want to sew with historically accurate thread, you can use linen or wool thread, or silk if you prefer.
### Sewing and finishing the centre back seam
</Note>
If you cut Lunetius with a centre back seam, sew this up first and finish the seam in some way. You can do this by binding it, or by felling it to the fabric. On a stretch fabric simply sewing up the centre back seam is enough.
### Step 1: Sewing and finishing the centre back seam

<Tip>
When done by hand, this can be done with a spaced backstitch, or a running stitch with the occasional backstitch.

Felling the edges by hand can be done with a felling stitch, or a running stitch if you prefer. On the machine you can use any stitch you use to hem fabric.
### Hemming the edges
</Tip>
The next and last step is to finish the edges. This can be done by turning a hem on the whole edge, or by using a binding. Once this is done, you are finished!
### Step 2: Hemming the edges

When handsewing you can use a felling stitch or a running stitch. Or any other stitch you prefer for hemming.
On the machine, a straight stitch is a good option, but if you have a blind hem stitch that is an option too.

### Step 3: Enjoy!
That's it you are all done! Now take a *fibula* (a brooch, pin or clasp) to fasten your cloak over your right shoulder (that is how the Romans did it, you can of course also take the left shoulder, or the middle, or whatever you prefer) and enjoy looking dramatic.
