This is the front of the garment.
The patches overlapped each other along the edges and I stitched through both layers with chain stitch.
Detail of the rust and tea dye.
I'm planning a small collection of hand stitched and natural dyed garments. I hope to find a gallery which will be interested in showing.
Happy Diwali to all those celebrating. Wishing everyone an abundance of health, happiness and prosperity in the new year.

What a labor of love! This is simply gorgeous, Maya. You need to take a photo with you (or someone else) wearing it.
Wow, it is beautiful!
And very unique :-) Well done!

You're absolutely right Julie. My sister and my mother would have made worthy models but in all the talking and catching up it got forgotten. :( Will have to find someone else to model my tunic.
Thank you Radka. Some of the tie dye patterns are really unique I've tried to replicate them and I just haven't been able to.
I'm glad I could put them together in this tunic.
