Probably because I haven't sewn in a long time. I have been reading though. A lot. I've read 27 books this year so far. Novels anyway, that's not counting all the non-fiction books I've read. I am sewing now though, but what was I thinking.... I am making a mens formal suit. Burda 7842 for the jacket and Burda 7841 for the trousers. M has, well possibly has an interview.

They are made out of cheap sort of school uniform polyester. The tailoring is rubbish, and because he is tall and thin they never fit well. A better suit would be about £100. Too much money. And charity shop is too much of a hit or miss. I decided to make one. I bought discount fabric from Croft Mill. It's a wool/poly/spandex fabric. Altogether for fabric, lining, interfacing, zip etc it comes to £
