oh noes!

I bought a pair of yoga pants from Victoria's Secret because they were on clearance and Amy told me they were uber-comfortable, so my "Dollhouse" costume is halfway there!

BUT the True Blood "Merlotte's Bar" t-shirt is GONE!!!!!!!! :(

Part of me really wants to get a Star Trek female officer uniform, ala Uhura. Though I think I like the classic style rather than the new J.J. Abrams version. Unfortunately, it looks like I would have to learn how to sew. And the one site that every single place I Google tells me to buy the pattern from is sold out!

I was hoping I could find a "good enough" pattern, you know a McCall's "Space Adventure" thing, that's not quite Star Trek but just close enough for a n00b like me to handle sewing. But alas, I cannot find anything but this one store! It says "back ordered" gives no hint about when they might arrive. (and all the pre-made ones I found were just...yeah, no...plus they only go up to "medium" which means my "not medium" self will have issues).

hm hm hm....

So, while in the Imax theatre, I looked very closely at the new uniforms. There were a few really cool designer details that I liked, - some cool curved darts at the weist, and reglan sleeves. I was thinking about making one too. I'd totally want red...

Yeah, they look very cool, but as jellibean pointed out to me, the custom fabric will be impossible to find. I'll just have to settle for my Kellogg's mail away shirts.

Probably much better quality than the HBO ones too. Someone commented to me with that option. I haven't had a chance to look, but I wasn't enthused with the comments on the HBO site selling their t-shirt about the quality, etc.

If you find a good one, let me know and I'll order the same one as you. :)

I will. :) I'll have to wait till the 15th to look, but I will. If nothing else, we can make our own. I know I have some iron on transfer stuff around here somewhere. A couple of Hanes white t-shirts and we're set. lol.
