So, with much fear and trepidation, I got out my seam ripper and took apart my jacket. (It was great when I found just the right thread and everything zipped out in seconds, but that didn’t happen very often.)

In today’s woyww you see all the jacket pieces waiting their turn to be traced. (For the first part of the story, go here.) I use huge sheets of tracing paper so I can put the pieces on top to get the outline, and then put them underneath to trace the inner details, like darts.

I still have no idea what I’m doing as far as taking in the armscye. Hopefully just taking in the sides and underarm seams the same amount will do the trick.

Today’s task is to finish tracing the patterns, cut out what I think will be the finished pattern, mark that on the jacket pieces, baste them together, and see how it all works! I’ll check back to let you know how it’s going.

Oh, and here’s a pic of my actual workdesk, lest you think I’m cheating.  🙂  The room looks like an utter pit from this perspective, but it’s really not that bad.  Really!

  1. I could not work in your room, only because if I got down to get some of the things on the floor, I would never be able to get up again. I have to be careful to keep everything in a reachable position. I could train one of our fur babies to pick things up, but they might get a bit chewed in the process. You have some lovely things there.

    1. Haha, Maggie, I can still get down and get up again, but some days it’s harder than others, lol.

      Thanks for stopping by, Happy Woyww!

    1. I guess it’s all about what we love to do. If we don’t love it, we aren’t motivated. Thanks for stopping by!
