Pre-wash your linen fabric in cold water with laundry detergent and 20 Mule Team BORAX (the borax does the work). It will lift out all the processing oils left in the linen fabric. The fabric will be softer and easier to work with. Your tunic will not change shape after the first washing after wear. I learned the hard way.
If your neighbor is hand-stitching the tunic, waxing the thread makes the seams easier to do. Have fun!
