I'm feeling a bit less sorry for myself now though I clearly haven't learned, I'm mid-way through a glass of wine and contemplating trying again!<br />I think I might have a bath and watch Hugh's Fish Fight instead, much less dangerous!<br />Hope everyone has a nice weekend :-) xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12093691867181289432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049357998073579581.post-79629227395529034212011-01-14T08:14:40.375-08:002011-01-14T08:14:40.375-08:00P.s.

I know how much use that jacket gets so it is a shame its not all working out, and such a pretty patterned material to use as well (I love anything jadey coloured). However, if it all fails and you need to get some new material/send it to someone more experienced/start from scratch, be happy in the knowledge that you gave it your shot and dealt with it with humour! Also, a lesson to be learned about drink/crafting. Just look at Heather's wallpaper (not the actual wallpaper, more the application technique towards the door, when several glasses of wine had been consumed!).... xxxM-Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01272426602112746641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049357998073579581.post-90823913999699991552011-01-14T04:49:08.583-08:002011-01-14T04:49:08.583-08:00Chin-up.

Don't feel like a failure. Most people...Oh noo! Don't feel like a failure. Most people wouldn't even attempt re-lining a jacket, that's an big undertaking. You get an A for Ambitious!<br />And, if it helps, I didn't make paper pattern pieces either. (Why bother, you'll only use them once!) So, walk away from the jacket, give it some space.. and then go back and tackle it! Somewhere in my tutorial I wrote 'it doesn't have to be perfect' and it doesn't. The main goal is to give your jacket a new life with fresh clean lining, and leave it better than it was before :)Tasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073834888315981225noreply@blogger.com
