I spent the summer making a suit...

What's the best way to spend your summer? Sun, sea, sand? Pub gardens and sporting extravaganzas? Tending to the garden? How about sewing your own suit? As regular viewers will know, there's nothing I like to sew more. But they are big time commitments, along with being technically challenging. So perhaps not the most relaxing way to spend those precious sunny days. And yet, especially when you've got a special summer event to work towards, the various challenges of DIY tailoring—making your own canvas, wrangling endless hand-stitches and basting layers, adjusting sewing patterns, SETTING SLEEVES (🫠)—can offer an endlessly rewarding diversion when it's either too rainy or too hot to venture outdoors.
