Cornelius's mens suit

I totally recut all the parts and resewed:

Forgot that the facing becomes the correct side of the lapel, so I was not very careful about matching the checks. I will re-cut a new left facing and resew to match the right side. I also don't like the way the notch is so big from the collar to the top of the lapel. I need to remember to cut that better on the next one.

I also noticed that I am running out of fabric, so I had better stop reworking this jacket and get on with the pants to make sure I get one complete outfit. I have another pair of pants I got at Goodwill with the same kind of check pattern and luckily the fabric is thin enough. I just have to look for it. Hopefully it's in a bag in the laundry room.

This is how the suit looked before I decided to start all over. Because I added a second seam as in a real mens suit, I did not measure it very well and the width of the sleeves became too fat.
