Petty Officer Third Class

Finally getting around to finishing my third Class D uniform (attaching the shoes) and just realized I should have done them all in the same division color so they could basically be different uniforms for one character and I could wear whichever color uniform I wanted, just like in the movie. Lol

Congratulations! Great job with those! 🙂

Looks great! I’m sure it was a hit!

Here’s 2 Class D uniforms I just completed. The reception at the convention was fantastic.

Petty Officer Third Class

I recently attended my work Christmas party that had a ‘Galaxy’ theme. I decided to make a ‘Mork from Ork’ costume, from the TV show, ‘Mork and Mindy’.

I sourced the red jumpsuit from AliExpress. I unpicked all the extra pockets and took the inside leg seams in to give it a more tapered look, so they would fit into the boots more…

As Ben will probably attest, the VOY jumpsuit is easier to make compared to the DS9/NEM version – primarily because the yoke isn’t quilted or bound, and you also save a bit of time since you don’t need to do the division sleeve cuffs. 🙂

This looks great!

That’s really cool, David! Nice work! 🙂

Although similarly styled and constructed, the yokes are/were actually slightly different on the jumpsuits and skants.

And yes, digital TNG jumpsuit pattern downloads will hopefully be available in the next few months. 😉

Crap. Just realized I clicked the wrong Star Trek Image, and ended up posting in the trophy room instead of Ten Forward. Feel free to move this thread or delete, I can repost. Sorry!

Hi.

This is not a physical sewing project, so everyone may not be interested in this, but I thought I would share it here anyway as I’m basing it of sewing patterns from Bad Wolf Costumes.

I’ve been working on a digital avatar of a certain captain for my 3D portfolio for a while now. As mentioned I’m been using the sewing guide for the…

Nice work, Tom! Congratulations. 🙂

Finally made a Voyager jumpsuit and it turned out well. So greets from starfleet restroom 😝

Senior Chief Petty Officer

You did a great job, Ben! The NEM uni is a tough one, this was my first big sewing project ever… My next project will be a VOY jumper. Your’s looks just great!

Senior Chief Petty Officer

Thanks for your kind words!

And yes, I‘ll definitely give it a try.

And good idea on the pockets!!

Senior Chief Petty Officer

Thanks! After the complexity of the First-Contact / NEM uniforms which you’ve already had success with (great job on those too, by the way!) the Voyager jumpsuit should be a breeze: no quilt lines or mitered trims to worry about!

One modification I’ve started making on my more recent jumpsuits (now that I’ve gotten more familiar with…

These costumes really look great! The VOY jumper is also on my (neverending) to do list 🤓 Aiming a red and gold one…

Congratulations on finishing the skant!

But I don’t see an image attachment; would you share one (again)?

Petty Officer Second Class

Finally got my skant finished. I love the way it turned out. It may not be screen accurate because of the fabric I had available but I love it anyway.

Senior Chief Petty Officer

I agree; great job on all of those. The Voyager in particular looks amazing! Though I’ve always had a fondness for that style of uniform, having grown up following the adventures of Captain Janeway.

No, I did not name the bunny Kukalaka, but Andrew. A Build-A-Bear Pawlette, he was a gift to my wife that we made together about 8 years ago when we started dating. I made his first Starfleet uniform about a year later and he has accompanied us on every trip we’ve ever taken together.

My wife only started watching through all of TOS, TNG…

Isn’t it fun to gradually expand your costume/cosplay wardrobe? 😉

Great job, especially on the Voyager-era uniform!

The Riker pose and Harry Potter posters are fun too. 🙂

Hey guys, just wanted to share some of my Star Trek efforts. I haven’t got many photos of them but here are a few that I am really happy with. I started with one of the official Simplicity ones but have then moved on to Alex’s patterns which are amazing! Have made one Voyager and one DS9 one – always in command Red, but now aiming to make one…

That is so cool!

And great job with all the fitting – especially on your personal uniform. 🙂

The original gray fabric color varied considerably over the many years this uniform was in use, so I wouldn’t sweat it unless you favor a particular color/production year. Dark gray, bluish-gray, purple-ish gray, neutral gray, light/pale gray … they…

My new and better-fitting Voyager jumpsuit. I may want to redo the undershirt at some point. The fabric seemed alright to me when I made it, but now that I’m starting to have a collection of uniform fabric cards to compare to, these ones are a bit lighter in colour than they ought to be.

Incidentally, I made the bunny’s uniform as well, which…

The Voyager jumpsuit was the first style of uniform that I attempted to make. By this point, I’ve made 8 of them; it took me three tries to get the sizing right for me, two tries for my sister, two tries for my brother, and I made one for my Dad as well. These are my first version attempts that I made… 5 years ago? I’ve since made a new,…

Such kind words from the master! The way of getting „the“ correct color already brought me grey hair ☺️

So please don‘t tease me further 😇

Site Administrator

Tom- you look great in that jumpsuit! 🙂

Nice job on the others as well – it’s amazing you learned so much about sewing and accomplished what you have starting from scratch with my older tutorials. (I’m looking forward to updating those!)

And yes, DS9/NEM division colors are on my list of dye mixes to determine. I have swatches of all three…

Thanks mate 😎 Appreciate your feedback. I think we all can be proud of our work! 👍🏻

Petty Officer First Class

For what it’s worth, this is my second favorite uniform after the Monster Maroons, and I think it looks great! It also gives me hope that I can do something halfway decent when I finally pick up the patterns and spend less time on my 3D Printers and more time on the sewing machine.

Thanks for sharing those pics! They’re great!

Senior Chief Petty Officer

Here are my projects, all done by myself using Alex‘ patterns.

Please excuse the crappy pic of me in the jumpsuit 🙄 Bad lightning, wig and makeup… will surely update this sometime…

And I HAVE to get some accurate cotton lycra fabrics… it’s really a pain finding them… @Obsessive Costuming Dude (Alex) is this also on your to do list in…
