Star Trek Uniforms (I cannot think of a witty title... or even a bad pun...)

As may be quite obvious, I have been quite obsessed with making Star Trek crafts of late. At some point I will wean myself onto other fandoms and obsessions. In fact, pretty soon I will be asking for the wisdom of my internet friends to help me decide what the next cross stitch of head-melting-ly biggness will be.

But for now I present to you some nu-Trek uniforms that I would totally wear as a Halloween costume if I were doing the dressing up thing this year. But I'm not. So goodness only knows why I made them. Hopefully someone will want them!



So here's some Command gold...



Oh noes! It's a red shirt! She's dooooooooooooooooooooooooooomed!



These are totally not the right boots for the look, but they were close enough at hand to give the right idea...



And here's a close up of the phaser on the trousers. I made a stencil of the basic phaser shape and then discharged the dye so that I could fabric paint the details over the top. Unfortunately discharging black from fabric is a bit more unpredictable than with any other colour, which is why it seems a little orangey in the middle. But it's not that noticeable with the naked eye thankfully.

And you can see even more pics here.

Spaceship Stitched - the Enterprise is complete!

Nearly 33,000 stitches and four months have gone into this 42cm by 20cm piece of loveliness.

It's very pleasing to have finished a project and actually still like it. Goodness only knows what craziness I'll put myself through next. But for now at least I know that I like this ship. It's exciting!

This picture has come out a little blue for some reason, but I think it shows off the subtle changes in colour quite nicely.



This one's much more accurate in terms of colour.



And then this pic shows up my not always perfect stitching skills! But it does show the stitches close to their actual size.



And so she is finished! Hurrah!

And relax.... Until next time.....
