I have some basic sewing experience with both clothing and plushes. I have my own sewing machine (it’s a bit faulty but it works) and thread. I don’t have a heavy duty needle or thread, or interfacing on bias tape, but I can get my hands on all of those if they’re needed. I’ve made a decent number of pants, and several shirts. Would be able to make myself a 2-piece flight suit just as pants and a shirt out of the right materials, maybe with some deign modifications? Or does anyone have a flight suit pattern? Any advice or tips is very helpful and appreciated!

2 piece flight suits are good to go if they appear to be an entire suit (the secret should be hidden under the waist items :laugh:)
-
For making it, does a regular shirt and pants made out of the same heavy duty fabric work?
-
Yep, will work just fine. Many people use scrubs, so pants and shirt will definitely work.

Great, thanks! I’ll poke around and see if I can find the right material (and a pattern... I’ve been doing clothing from memory lately) and any supplies I might need for making it

I think I’m also going to attempt to make a flak vest, but first version is just going to be some cool patterned fabric I have, to test my own pattern which I’ll be tracing off of a vest I own. If it fits well and I can wear it (and figure out how to do zippers) I’ll make my actual flak vest. Otherwise, I’ll do the modified discrete plate carrier thingy
