Pianists of all different levels have asked me...
"How do you play comfortably without watching your
hands?"
I begin by learning the piece with the most comfortable
fingering possible without alot of awkward twists and turns.
I will have memorized the piece by the time I can play it without
hesitations.
Once a song is memorized...try playing it in the dark.
You'll be amazed at how well your keen sense of touch takes over...
just as a blind person must learn to do.
Several years ago, I was playing the prelude for a convention
with several thousand in attendance.
All of a sudden, the lights went out!
Fortunately, I had a repertoire of memorized music I could play
comfortably in the dark:) I thank the Lord for helping me
through that experience.
Just be patient with yourself and practice, practice, practice!
Knowing your piece will enable you to play without watching your
fingers.
