Sew first, ask questions later? Canvassing a coat as if I know how!

"Sew first, ask questions later"... words to live (sew) by? Canvassing a jacket is always a fiddly process in tailoring, and since this is my first time trying it with an overcoat, I've found myself wondering... We've all sewn something before we really understood how, or perhaps why, we ought to do it. Should theory come before practice? Or is it better just to get started, and learn piecemeal as you go along? Who's asking, anyway?
