    Well, There are some pattern types that I need bt I have no idea what specific patterns there are.

    I'm looking for:

    -A wetsuit/skinsuit/catsuit
    -Something for the "Man in black" from The Princess Bride
    -gloves
    -And something similar to what mechanics and such wear...those blue things that cover their whole body...sort of like skinsuits only loose.

    If anyone has any pattern suggestions for me, I'd be greatful :)

    What mechanics wear are called cover-alls. If that's what you want, it would probably be easier to just buy it, unless what you're doing with it is a major alteration or making it in a color not available. I don't remember having seen a pattern for that in the major company's catalogs. Maybe one of the specialy pattern makers, such as those for outdoor wear and equipment.

    Also Kwik Sew Has a glove pattern # 2326.

    For a Cat suit/Unitard you can try Kwik Sew #3273, 3052, 2109, 2633, and 2722

    You can see a picture of these Here

    Hope that helps!

    I need bright orange coveralls.

    I doubt they sell them ;)

    It's for an X Wing flight suit, so it'll also be altered.

    And thanks for the suggestions :D

    (edit: typos)

    They do indeed sell them! Most X-Wing costumers I know purchased the coveralls, then altered it for their needs.

    Check e-bay. Search for Orange Coveralls, you'll find some there. :)

    Green Pepper has a jumpsuit pattern several people have used for Jango flight suits. Me, I'm using the long-discontinued Simplicity Grease pattern to make X-wing flight suits. Lots of modifications, but that was expected.

    I'm not sure for US but in Singapore, Orange Overall/Coverall is the easiest color to find so you're better off buying it rather than making it.

    I got one in my wardrobe, waiting for the day I do start making a Rebel Flightsuit. It was cheap anyway at ~USD8.50. :p
