10th Doctor blue suit fabric - REWOVEN!

It's been over a decade since the 10th Doctor debuted his blue suit, and like many of you, we've been adoring it ever since.

Now it's time to get your Ten on again! 

We've had the 10th Doctor's blue suit fabric rewoven, directly from a swatch of original, screen-used fabric used for Tennant's original blue suits!

With no photo editing (except cropping, obviously), no filters – the “read” is almost perfect!

So, we have a limited quantity of this fabric available!

We’ve added this fabric by-the-yard in our Etsy shop:


4 yards should be plenty for an entire suit; I (Alex) am 6’ tall, men’s size 42, and 4 yards is plenty for a suit, with quite a bit left over. 

For now, we're limiting individual orders to 5 yards or less, because we want to make sure it’s available to all who want it for as long as possible, but it very well may go fast anyway, so we highly suggest ordering some ASAP if you’re interested! 



We’ve also temporarily discontinued our 10th Doctor suit pattern, because we're in the process of updating it! 

The original version is still fine, if you have it already, but we're improving the fit so it’s more of a Tennant-esque silhouette, and we're updating the various alignment guides to coincide with our new blue fabric and Magnoli’s updated (2017) brown fabric.

The tutorials will be getting a heavy update as well, and we suggest subscribing to our e-mail newsletter for updates! 

In the meantime, you can go ahead and have your fabric ready to go once the updated pattern + tutorials are available!

TNG skants for sale!

Over the past few months, we've made several replica TNG skants for demonstration purposes (for our TNG skant sewing patterns and corresponding sewing tutorial). 

TNG skants for sale

However, we have no interest in keeping them and would rather they go to happy new owners who will enjoy them instead. 

We have three women's and one men's up for grabs in the "Sale/Clearance" section of our Etsy shop! (The other men's skant is already gone.)

The women's skants were patterned directly off of an original, screen-used TNG skant.

The first women's skant was made to fit a woman approximately 5'8" tall, with a 33" bust and 25" waist.

It features authentic vents, interior construction, and front double-zipper closures.

The second women's skant is the same size, but it's a conceptual season 3-7 variant, with the appropriate yoke and collar styles.

It zips up the back like the later TNG-era jumpsuits did.

The third women's skant is the season 1 style, and it's a direct 1:1 replica of the original, screen-used women's TNG skant we examined.

It's made to fit a woman with a 35-36" bust and 28-29" waist.

And finally, the men's skant is also the season 1 style, approximately a men's size 44.

It was intended to fit a man approximately 5'11" to 6'2" tall, with a 43-44" chest, 37-39" waist, and 42" hips.

It, too, features authentic vents, interior construction, and front double-zipper closures.

These TNG skants are great for cosplaying, but they also make impressive display pieces, too!

This is a one-time-only kind of thing, and we're only selling the four of them, so grab one while you can!

Again, the reason we're selling them is simple: we're always making new costumes and have many more patterns in the queue, but we simply don't have enough storage space or interest in cosplaying all of them. We'd rather these costumes go to owners who can appreciate and enjoy them!

This is a great chance to grab a high-quality uniform replica at a huge discount!
