Welcome, Thomas! 🙂
As I mentioned in your “Trophy Room” thread, it's amazing what you've accomplished starting from scratch with my older tutorials. You should be very proud of your uniforms!
The trousers are a breeze after the jacket, jumpsuit, and vest. The VOY jumpsuit is also easier than the DS9/NEM style you've already made.
Keep up the great work!

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 colors, plus the gray elastique for the jacket/jumpsuit/vest yokes.

Welcome, Tony!
Props and accessories are outside my field of expertise, so I have a lot of respect for those who know their stuff and do that kind of work.
The uniforms you mentioned are great choices, and while they all have their pros and cons, I do agree that they're easier to maneuver (and rest) in than armor!
Nothing wrong with being a lurker, but I do hope you'll feel free to chime in anytime you have something to say. 🙂

I've also been wanting to do the Tenth Doctor's amazing overcoat for a while now, and I was recently bitten by the bug to do some of the Eleventh Doctor's earlier tweed jackets.

I plan to dive into Classic Who costumes as well, probably starting with the Second (Troughton) and Third (Pertwee) Doctors.

Next up is the Eleventh Doctor's “Snowmen” costume, which is a personal favorite of mine.

I'll probably be discontinuing them in a few months, maybe early next year (2022). I'm going to wait as long as possible, to minimize the window when they'll be temporarily unavailable.
And as someone who's recently shed about 40 pounds, myself, I commend you for your weight and health goal! 🙂
