SIMPLE TUNIC
                                       
   
   
   A new member should have a tunic by the fourth meeting. A tunic of the
   appropriate color and black sweat pants are the minimum costuming
   requirements. Elaborate costumes with all hand stitching are
   encouraged but not expected. A very simple design is the common T
   tunic. Many members of the group currently wear this style and it is
   easy to make.
   
  MATERIALS:
  
   
   
   Cloth - Prairie Cotton Bright Red, Bright Blue, or Bright Green are
   recommended. This can usually be purchased at Jo-Ann Fabrics in the
   Country Fair Shopping Center. It takes about three yards of fabric
   depending on the size of the individual. The cost of the fabric is
   about $3 a yard. [INLINE]
   
  TUNIC DESIGN:
  
   
   
   1.) Tunics should extend down to the knees when belted at the waist.
   To get this distance hold the cloth in front of you, holding it at the
   shoulders. The cloth should extend about 4 inches below the knee. Mark
   the fold of the cloth. You will need the same length in the back as
   the front.
   
   2.) Cut a 9 inch slit about an inch back from the centerline of the
   tunic for your head. Expand this slit to a triangle about 6 inches
   tall. See drawing.
   
   3.) The upper part of the T should extend from elbow to elbow and
   should be 10 inches to 12 inches deep depending on your size. Cut the
   fabric to the correct dimensions.
   
   4.) Sew the under sides of the arms together to form sleeves.
   
   5.) Sew the sides together down to just below where the pockets would
   be on a pair of jeans.
   
   6.) Sew a seam on all exposed edges. This is done by folding over the
   cloth about a 1/2 inch towards the inside and sewing it into place.
