kerouhak 0 #1 January 5, 2004 I was about to buy a new suit, but my sis is into her dressmakin and has offered to make one for me. I can see the benefit in this re: cost, sizing etc, design, colours etc. etc. Is there anything I should be aware of as in type of fabric, or any potential problems with this ??/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\\/\/\/\/\ Do I see you laughin? My doggy he don't like people laughin Gets to figurin, they're laughin at him Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkwing 5 #2 January 5, 2004 Generally use durable fabrics, cotton-poly and/or supplex. Consider using cordura on knees, seat, booties, etc. You can double-layer fabrics to get extra body if you want it. Building a second one is usually much easier than building the first one, so don't agonize about things. Maybe bring her a suit you like and have her look it over, make some measurements, etc. -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riggerrob 643 #6 January 6, 2004 Remember to leave plenty of room in the crotch for "the boys." You can only accurately measure a jumpsuit when your leg straps are tight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
