At the advice of Crispvs, I am posting this here for feedback on the sewing technique for my tunic.
I used some scrap cloth and different colored thread to practice and make sure I am reading the instructions from the Legio XX handbook correctly. I started with right sides together and used a running stitch to sew the seam.
Then I pressed the seam open and rolled the raw edge under and secured with a whip-stitch.

Obviously, this will look better with matching thread. My questions is, do I have this right to hand sew my tunic?
