Sewing Project

About a week ago, I ordered the Simplicity sewing pattern 2172, a semi-steampunk kinda-Victorian outfit. This will be my first attempt at a full-outfit DIY.... I'm scared. I really, REALLY want it to turn out well, but it looks complicated and uses terms like "grain line" and "interfacing" both of which I've had to Google. I am determined to do this well and make it pretty. Once I finally settle on a fabric I'll be ranting about how it's going.
