Ducky I've had to have a sewing machine surgically removed from my hand

Owwww that sounds painfull.

There are still plenty of costumes that can be bought "off the shelf" e.g. Officers, Crewman, Pilots and require only a little bit of modification and a there a few really good seamtress's around the garrison who can help us sewing impaired out.
