Threadneedle Street was the home of London tailoring in the 16th and 17th centuries. Tailors worked with assistants - the assistant would cut out the cloth and the tailor would sew it. If the tailor didn’t work quickly enough, the pile of cloth would get bigger and messier. Because his work was cut out for him, he could clearly see that there was a lot to do and his work was jumbled up in a mess. In other words, he had a really difficult, complicated job to do.
