Any week end sewing plans ? How are you doing ? (jlai.lu)

I had a master plan of diminishing The Pile^TM^ of things to finish or repair, and it's going farly well. Some of it was really quick and easy, some of it was surprisingly fun to do, some of it was a bit boring.
I have a plan of making a ... kind of cardigan/vest/jacket thingy by next week end, and I had to pack all of my sewing away until tomorrow. I am not positive that it will work but it would be cool to wear the new thing on the week end getaway.
I have taken pictures of the fancy black trousers, but I forgot the back and I still need to find the energy to write a coherent text.\ Do not despair, it will happen ! Someday.

What are you working on ? Are you having any difficulties, surprises, wins ?

I have a near finished coat that I stopped working on in November that I really want to finish, but I'm having a hard time starting. I've been saying that I'll do it on the weekend for months now. It's at a tricky point of fixing a mess up and I'm nervous about making it worse.

I am also weary of picking old projects back up. But most of the time, the fix isn't as bad as I thought, so go for it !
Also a coat ! to me, that's an ambitious project !

It's ambitious for me too, believe me! I made a big deal of it, bought some nice wool for it. I need to finish it to have something, I can't bear to waste such good fabric. But I think I backed myself into a corner here, I put too much pressure on it and now I'm afraid to mess up.
