A photo from last year of my mockup pin-fitting of what is now going to be my #YearOfTheJacket. You can see I've corrected the width and shape on the right in the first photo. (Looks much better than the unpinned side!) I pinned out the extra and tapered down to a point on front and back. Then I replaced the pins with machine basting and copied to the other side.
The second photo shows a close up of the tapering down to the seam on the front. And the last photo shows where I didn't need any tapering across my upper back (remember my issue of always needing more room there @SewAdagio ?).
So hopefully later this week, I will get around to altering my paper pattern and cutting a second mockup without all that extra fabric where I don't need it.

I spent the day priming things for paint and then I remembered to shoot a quick video. #SewingStudioBuild
I started cutting all the edges while Janet was away yesterday morning. When she got back after lunch, she pulled out a roller and started filling in. I'll put a pic below in the comments. #SewingStudioBuild
We broke for lunch and then came back with a portal ac unit plugged in to an extention cord from the house. Can't wait until they finished hooking up all the electrical and we have the mini split cooling the room for us - it was stupid humid today! #SewingStudioBuild
I finally finished the quilt for my daughter. I couldn’t take pictures of the entire thing (her room is a disaster zone), but here’s some of the patchwork and the embroidered square I made because I ended up being one short. I did learn that I’m going to need to find a better way to lay out any future quilts that are twin sized or larger, because I had to keep shifting it around the slightly too small area of our basement carpet and the backing ended up getting doubled up in multiple places. By the time I discovered it, I couldn’t bring myself to unpick that much of the quilting, so it’ll have to stay. But I think it’s going to be awhile before I do any more quilts. Between this and the patchwork jeans (which I did end up having to shorten some), I’m feeling burned out on big projects for now. I did cut out a basic knit tee, so hopefully that’ll be enough of a palate cleanser to get me over the lack of motivation to sew that I was feeling by the end of this.
