For
this #1101 Tunic a
tempo I used "Fleur"
Batik Rayon and Red
Cotton for the facings and trim on the band. The red cotton
was stamped with Sm. Celtic
Knots in black. This tunic is an unlined single layer of
rayon, so the drape is more dramatic that with a heavier or
stiffer fabric. The facings were sewn to the "outside".
The
front bands were edged with the red cotton (which was stamped).
The small horizontal bit going through the band is my way of camouflaging
the piecing I did to lengthen the band so I could cut it on the
crosswise to save yardage and not have to match the pattern.
Turns
out it made a nice design detail!
