After starting this shirt 5 years ago I have finally pretty much finished it. I cut the pattern out ready all the way back in 2021ish then……. didn’t proceed any further. I got this back out in March of this year and have slowly started to put it together, with a large amount done in August.
Considering I have never sewn any clothing before or used a sewing machine properly, I am pretty damn well pleased with how it has come out. It needs two more things doing (other than needing a decent iron haha) which is adding the buttons to the shirt button placket and shoulders and sorting out the top of the shirt button placket after I cut in to the top of the shirt with the seam ripper – oops! I will hopefully do a full write up on Wednesday on the whole process.
The next stage is doing the trousers which I have the pattern for already and looks like a reasonably quick project. I’m just hoping Hobbycraft still does the same colour fabric 5 years later :E
I’ve ordered a red beanie and the little traffic lights patch that goes on it. I already have a pair of Adidas Zissou trainers so hopefully by a week Monday I will have the full costume ready to go!
The next uniform project will be to do the “Steve” shirt and trousers and an aim to be more screen accurate in regards to the fabric used.
