I used the same pattern once for my X-wing pilot flightsuit. It's a very simple pattern and the sewing instructions are clear and easy to understand. you dont have to be a professional to make a great suit. Most patterns are made from a very thin and flimsy paper but this one is just like printer paper. Hope I could help you and good luck.

Woodman, would this jumpsuit be good for Fett though?

if i remember correctly, that's the same pattern i used for my fett. it has two sleeve patterns, long and short sleeved. you leave the original pockets off and add in the wizardofflight templates for the shin pockets and thigh pouches.

that's what i used.

it's a generic coverall pattern, so you have to be able to customize / tailor it.

the collar will be wrong, the sleeves and torso too loose, crotch too low, etc... it's designed to fit over regular cloths, not be a slim fitting garment on its own.

it's a great base, but just be aware that it needs some tailoring talent.
