It was not a very rewarding week in sewing.
Yesterday I finally starting placing in the lining for the jacket...... somewhat.
I still have to hand stitch the lower front and inserting the lining at the collar, which is kicking my ASS.
So bad that I got up and went out to Starbucks to grab a white chocolate mocha frap.
Caffeine is a truly a drug, let me tell you how I stood up in front of Starbucks, took a deep sip and I could feel the tension draining out of me and my energy coming back.
Tomorrow I will NOT have coffee...... don't hold me to that goodness knows what work has in store.
As I twirl my frap, my thoughts are:
I want to put this jacket on a hanger and keep it there until my mom comes in November to finish it.
But I also want to show her how fabulous it is, already finished, when she comes too.
Hmmm
I probably should give it another go before I throw in the towel, if only I can get this part done, I will just have to do the sleeve bands and it will be finished.
I can'teven blame the pattern, this one is not a lined jacket, there was no instructions for doing so.
Ugh!
It's getting late now so I'm going to park this baby up until next weekend, as I said before I can't focus on this during the week, the intellectual part of my brain shuts off at 4pm when I'm walking towards my car out of the office.
On a positive note I am not letting this set back get the best of me, all this means is that I need to line more jackets to get more practice......
Oh boy..... maybe its the coffee talking.
