It begins.
I'm actually not sure whether I'll go fully #1890s with this jacket (with moderation :D) or I'll keep the sleeves fitting: I'll decide after I've sewed a mock-up.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love *having marked* the seamlines on fabric with tailor's tacks?
and how much I hate actually doing it? :D
it took me the whole day to lay the pattern on the fabric and start doing that little bit, thanks to interruptions and procrastionation.
(also, apparently I got the problematic update on my #pinephone that broke taking pictures :D )

ok, apparently the accepted way to get a pattern to be transferred on fabric with tailor's tacks is to remain in the same room with the fabric and actually do it, with no interruptions. who could have thought!
paper pattern pieces laid out on dark fabric and completely outlined with tailor's tacks in basting thread
(yes, the green tint on the photo still comes from the #pinephone and it's updated software)
now it's tea time, and then maybe before this evening I'll cut everything out and move on to cutting the lining. if I don't have to do other things (such as maybe look at what happened to the pinephone camera software? maybe).
