Charting the warp on the loomskin

I charted some sections of the warp while the loomskin was still in the form of a jacket. This made it possible for me to have it on the dressmaker's dummy and to try it on myself while working. 

I came up with a method for the shaping where the sleeves meet the body and tested it.
My goal at this stage was to establish cutting lines parallel to the warp in order to make the loomskin lie flat for warping. Before cutting I applied strips of sturdy fabric to the back of the cutting lines to reinforce the edges.
