I really want to see the tunic so I have been sewing for hours and have made much progress. I think it will be finished this week. - progress 5.

Topstitching - 4. I have constructed the patchwork fabric pattern pieces. And now have to top stitch to secure them all in place. I will be washing the tunic of course, but will do so on a low temperature non-agitating wash as I don't want the pieces to fray.

Now that I have the pattern I want to see the tunic finished! I am doing it very systematically. I chose to begin working with the center front and center back panels. I will first piece all of them. I am creating all the pieces with mosaic patchwork and will then heavily overquilt all the pieces. I will have to choose some music while I do this as it is quite repetitive.

Yesterday I was deliberating between a tunic and a coat. Using the mosaic patchwork technique to create fabric, creates a relatively stiff fabric. The fabric is strong and warm but I wanted pockets and sleeves and I solved the dilemma - 2.

I have a goal. To complete my mosaic patchwork tunic or coat before this winter finally gets to us - 1.
