I'm going to at least get the second mockup for my #YearOfTheJacket cut out today! This is how I use a pattern without seam allowance. I mark the stitchlines by tracing and then use my seam allowance curve to add the seam allowance directly on the fabric.

Welcome to all of you who are new! I'd love to have some of the new members join us in this sewalong (using the term loosely since we don't have any concrete deadlines or rules)! We are tagging our posts #YearOfTheJacket because you can tap hashtags in the Locals app for sorting and you can search them with the search box on the website.
So chose a pattern and fabric, make a mockup, ask for feedback and fitting help if you want any, and make yourself a jacket or blazer this year! I'll probably make more than one myself because I don't think it's possible to have too many. =)

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 probably spent way too much time auditioning "pizza slices" for the #derbydress bodice today.
Why do you have to be so pretty, brocade? I love you, but you are so fussy to work with!
