I'm sure I can find a way to get a simple tunic out of this bolt-end of purple linen, right? (4.75 yd) If not for me, for my sweetie.

Yes. I've used Drea Leed's Custom Smock Pattern Generator (http://www.elizabethancostume.net/smockpat/) to make tunics/smocks for any time period (varying the neckline to match the period). It doesn't always have the best layout on the fabric, but with some playing around, you should easily be able to do so in that much yardage, unless you're well over six feet tall...
