So I'm trying to make folk linen pants from sowing to sewing.

Second post (here's first)

It's been about 60 days since sowing (it's 22nd of June). It's looking so pretty and started blooming about 55th day. I've been watering it one or two wheelbarrows of every 2 weeks, which I thought would be too little but it's growing pretty good. It's still not that high (about over the knee) and I doubt it'll get much higher sadly. That means lower grade of fibers but whatever. It'll be fine.

Every now and again there are parts laying down and I've been seeing some hares running about so they probably hide in it tramping down the plants. But it gets up no problem so all good. Maybe next time I'll put up a little fence around it.

Also idk when should I harvest it bc all the info is about oil flax, not textile flax, and even then it's contradictory sometimes. But either way it's around 100-120th day, so we're still only halfway.

Next up I need to start thinking about scuthing it, and it requires some equipment. But it's easy enough to build on my own probably. It should be something like this flax-brake:

And then this kind of metal comb, which I'll make just by densly putting nails in a blank:

So yeah, that's the plans for the near future. Here's a bonus flax video if you stayed till the end ❤️

my first time using Python's turtle module‼️(basically you can code fairly geometric designs using a "turtle" as a pencil and it compiles line by line as you run it.) the inspiration was a (heavily simplified) Łowicz folkdress.

^video of it compiling in real time

below you can see the deranged planning I did + some of the final code ⌄

the program was 498 lines long so here's just some of the more interesting stuff I wrote 💀

my strategy at first was to put in all coordinates by hand, and i completed the whole design that way; but then my prof said he wanted us to use more functions and not just repeat anything unnecessarily so i rewrote any repeating shapes (the skirt stripes for one example) to be functions where the new x and y coordinates would be manipulated by parameters telling what iteration the stripe was, what side it was on, etc. it looks utterly incomprehensible but it works!

Sooo, I've sown linen (or flax idk how it's called tbh) like a month ago. On a little plot next to my grandparents house. I'm gonna try to:

grow it (we're here atm)

harvest and thresh it

soak, dry and brush it to make it into fibers

dye it

spin it to make yarn

weave it into fabric

and then make those opoczynskie folk pants

so here's linen just after sowing

here's it this weekend (28may)

and here's the goal
