Tips for the Tunisian Crescent
The Tunisian flag's white circle with red crescent and star is worked as layered appliques: a white circle base with the red crescent and small star sewn on top. Center it carefully on the red field. The crescent curve is easier than it looks when worked in short rows that taper at the ends.
Eagles of Carthage
This Tunisia crop top celebrates the red and white with North African pride. Perfect for match days, Mediterranean summers and anyone with Tunisian roots. The bold single-color field makes the central emblem pop, creating a striking handmade statement piece.
