As the end of the week has drawn to a close, I have found myself getting more and more stressed about not getting my work correct. I am rushing (due to also having to do Battle for the Winds) which i feel is my downfall and am hoping next week and a fresh pair of eyes will do the job. It started out on Wednesday morning trying to work the pleats out on the sleeves, I ended up doing this twice as the team I was in found our example shirt to be wrong. If done the way the shirt was showing us it would have been very bulbous and not historically accurate . once this was found we spoke to Dexter who informed us to gather at the head of the sleeve only with precise pleating. If we thought about this sooner it would have taken us less time and also would have allowed us to progress further into our garments during the day. This is something I feel I must improve on as in order to become a professional maker you need to spot mistakes early on to avoid time delays. After this mistake was cleared up i pinned the gussets to the sides on the shirt (where marked from pattern) and come Thursday morning i found that i had accidently pin tucked a corner. i had to remove all my pinning and redo it. However today i started to calm down and found with a bit more concentration i could complete the parts needed. This afternoon i ironed the pieces and prepared everything for Monday.
For next week my mantra shall be slow and steady wins the race.
