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.
