Nightly update
Well I got some done today. Rob was gone and I confess I've been feeling more than a tad depressed lately and the result has been that I'm struggling to get much done. I kind of feel like I'm in haze, shuffling my way through the day.
But I did manage to get four new bow ties up in my etsy store. (I told myself NO jacket sewing till something was in etsy) and then I cut out a mock-up for my jacket. SEWING CONFESSION I have a terrible habit of making a pattern, fitting the mock-up and just using that and never altering my pattern! For example I pulled out the jacket pattern and It has rectangular front pieces and the jacket I made previously has a wedge on either side, like half a stomacher, which makes WAY more sense. But I of course didn't realize this till I'd cut out the mock-up so I guess I'll make the same fitting alteration again.
I made it way bigger than I think it needs to be. But A) I didn't want to try on the stays to figure out exactly what it needed and B) It's SO much kinder to the ego to take in than add.
