I had a good weekend overall preparing for the Holiday season and puttering about with several projects. I also resumed work on the jacket, later than I had originally anticipated, but I don’t regret the delays; I was having fun with other projects.
I didn’t start until after dinner Sunday night, probably around 9, so I did not finish construction of the outer jacket. The bodice is constructed and hanging (loosely) on Alyssa Rhiannon, who is currently hiding in the closet guarding the Christmas gifts:
I decided to interface the peplum of the jacket although the pattern instructions do not call for this. It just seemed a little floppy without the extra support. The peplum pieces are all interfaced and ready to go and I should be able to attache them in my next sewing session.
I am determined to continue working on this regularly, and to make time for sewing a priority. I know I have said this before, and it hasn’t gotten me anywhere, and I also realize that the Christmas season may not be the best time to begin a new schedule, but it’s worth a shot. Worst comes to worst December can be my practice month and by January I will be fully geared up and ready to sew.
