[Namron] I made a TUNIC but

I think this is a great idea.  Also, Do not feel bad, this is the most common mistake made by people when they start making garb.

  Subject: [Namron] I made a TUNIC but


  Well..  Bought some material.  Linen.  About 3 yards each of two different colors.  So, I washed it, dried it, and laid it out. Made my pattern.. Cut it and looked great.  Until I unfolded it and noticed that I made my neck hole about two times to big.  Is it possible for me to use the other material (its darker so it looks good on top of the lighter one I made the tunic with) and cut out kind of a rectangle with a proper size neck hole.  Then sew it on top of the tunic (with the large neck)?  I was thinking that this would make the neck smaller and at the same time give the tunic more than one color.  Also, I could use some of the darker fabric for trim on the bottom. 

  Is this a  good idea or should I pretty much just count the first one as a huge lesson and move on to cutting out the second?

  Thanks
  Jim
