What I have never had in the 2+ years I've been working on this project:
A master template of two full-height, full-width repeats of the jacket pattern, at my scale (roughly 3/4 of the original)
Two months of effort. 100% worth it.

For pattern transfer, I'm piercing a black and white image on heavyweight matte paper with a tailor's awl, using a cork trivet as a cushion.
I had to pause briefly to trim my nails, my index fingernail was marring the paper😵💫
