One unique thing I love about sewing is how it challenges us to become a better version of ourselves each day, new styles, inspiration, and the confidence you attain after several trials and error, assures you of one thing, you can still get it right, making you beat that fear that limits you and not unleash your full potential to continue staying in your comfort zone.

I will be sharing with us another project that when I look at makes me believe that I can do anything I wish to do, if only I put my heart into it. Before my immediate younger sister's last birthday, she would constantly remind me about how she wanted a bomber jacket and trousers, but I kept procrastinating,

inside of me I felt I wouldn't be able to make it, but I didn't let her know how I felt, I kept promising her till her birthday date drew closer and there was nowhere I could hide anymore or give any excuses

I couldn't say no to her wish, and even when I told her I'm not sure I could make it, she took it as a joke and boosted my confidence saying "I can do it, only If I put my heart into it." Right then she boosted my confidence, and there I made up my mind that I was going to overcome that fear.

What I did

I picked up an old bomber jacket that I got a long time ago, studied its pattern, and most especially how it was turned inside out, that was my primary concern, with that knowledge from close observation, I was able to make my pattern using my sister's measurement,

and to be frank, it became confusing at one point, the sleeve part precisely, I ripped the seams after sewing three consecutive times, but no, I wasn't frustrated because each stage taught me to maintain keen focus and patience, and when I finally got it, I couldn't contain my joy, and I made more of this outfit for her husband and kids, subsequent production was filled with less error and the production time, lesser compared to the first which I spent 3 days on.

So here I am inspiring someone out there that you can do it, just put your mind to it and believe in yourself, not forgetting to maintain focus, have lots of patience, and learn from your mistakes.

This is so inspiring @glorydee! I giggled when you were explaining how you kept procrastinating and then when it came closer to her birthday you couldn’t hide any more. I know that feeling. It’s great your sister had so much belief and confidence in your skill and passion and look how it turned out. This bomber jacket outfit is so cute! I love the style and the bright colors along with the pattern. Wow you made the entire family one, so adorable 🥰😍.

It’s a job well done and I can only imagine how grateful and appreciative your sister was. 🤗👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Thank you @crosheille ha!😂😂 I had to be honest and that point, and I'm grateful to have a sister who believes in me even when I don't. It's a privilege to have family members that encourages and support us.

I really like how this work turned out, sometimes doing something new can be scary but you did it very well and when you repeated it it was even better, congratulations for that, I love the fabric pattern :3

Thanks @youyowi , you are right about it being scary at first, and that's
where limitation comes in, we need to break through it and explore our capabilities.

Yes, you always have to try, because practice makes perfect :3

WOW!
This is great. The time I did this Jacket, I made the clothe separate and the lining Separate. Then turned it like I was making a suit.
This your approach is also good.

Exactly bro, the main fabric and lining are sewn differently before turning it like a suit.

Thank you @uzoma24

Thank You Dear.

I think the most difficult part of the work is the zip.

Wow! I absolutely love how these outfits turned out and the last picture is so sweet! This project looks challenging and you totally pulled it off - congrats!
