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!
