That's right I'm procrastinating, and it's because I'm scared, or at least nervous. Sewing the muslin was easy, if I screwed it up it was no big deal the fabric only cost me $4, but if I screw up on the "real" jacket I'm out ten times that. I guess it's this worry that is causing me to doubt my skills and my confidence. I mean I made the Muslin with few difficulties and it came out pretty good. I know this is all in my head so I took one step toward sewing this amazing garment.
I cut it out of the wool.
You have to start somewhere and If I am going to sew this jacket then I have to have the pieces to sew. I was super mindful when I was cutting out this fabric too. Making sure my grain lines were all lines up and parallel to salvage. I even made sure I gave the right seam allowance to the back neck yoke piece.
Taking my time and not hastily cutting out the pattern pieces really helped me feel better about starting this project. I'm hoping to start sewing some of it today. I know this fear is all in my head and once I start sewing I will get more confident with each seam.
