Haha, thanks everyone!
Retro, Hahaha!, I don't know about that! It's hard enough trying to get her to do the ones we need!
Tonight we did her crew shirt. It went a lot better than I expected! the only thing we kind of screwed up on was the pen loops again. (I should have helped her figure out the exact measurements) and I wasn't paying close enough attention, cause she was doing so awesome, she sewed the name tape border on too high. Haha, too funny!
Me: "Sh**!... Umm... The uh... Nametape border is a tad too high...
"Mom: "Whaaaaat??"
Me: "Ya, its gotta be almost touching the pocket..."
Mom: *teasing* "WHY DOES IT HAVE TO TOUCH THE POCKET!???"
Me: *feeling scared* "BECAUSE!!... IT HAS TO!!"
So I made her move it down, but she sewed it on crooked cause she was rushing for some reason haha... Whatever, looks way better than on mine... I'm jealous! haha
Here's what we started out with (Red Kap Mens Specialized Pocketless Shirt) :

And with the flight suit

The flight suit still needs the two zippers sewn on the back along with the green lacing. The laces I ordered were too short, so I have reordered a pair longer, which should be here in time.
Then we need to suck in the belt to her waist and make the zippers and laces work too to hold it up higher so the top is baggy and open. My camera died after that last photo but I rolled up the sleeves, and it sure made a big difference, really looks good now!
Switching to iPhone photos now...
A few weeks ago I finished up her headset, which I got from Stephen.
I ended up ordering one of Spat's headset kits for myself, since my plan for a Bluetooth version didn't work out this time. I'll get it together this week.
I still need to put her watch together, I have a plan to make it stay together, I will use some black thread and hand stitch the rubber bands to the nylon webbing.
And finally, YAY me!, I finally have a Service C uniform!, I scored another Walmart deal. We were just passing through the ladies clothes (something I find very boring) and these pants jumped out at me. They may not be the EXACT colour a lot of you prefer, but they are damn close, they are comfy, and they fit perfectly. Just need to add some belt loops. I've ordered a plain black leather garrison belt with brass buckle to go with.
