For all my fabric/sewing people out there, can I have some help identifying some fabric backing? I’m trying to make a reproduction of a 1914 WWI cap badge for a friend and this fabric is glued to the back. If I had to Guess, I’d say it’s maybe a fine weave cotton canvas but I’m not sure. Look familiar to anyone? (Pin diameter is 37mm if that’s of any reference for the weave)

Debating whether I want to put together a Siffrin cosplay for the ren fest next week.

But it's supposed to rain and I don't have access to magical weather proof cloth........

How do you feel about the etymologicon by mark forysth?

i'd never heard of it before. the reviews seem generally positive but i have a personal wariness of subject writing by journalists rather than topic specialists since i've been burned before

calling anyone who's been a bridesmaid because i am now in that stage of life. i'm going to be in my cousin's wedding next year and she linked us to lulu's and azazie and suggested to start looking there for a dress in her preferred colors (either sage or teal, tbd) but i don't like a lot of what they have stylistically and/or think it looks cheaply made. i'm worried that these companies are like the shein of bridesmaids dresses so to speak. does anyone have any other suggestions for where to look?

Me: Hey, I finished that dress I've been planning to make since last May.

My mother, silently grateful my first summer dress of the year is not covered in manic cartoon animals: Oh that looks lovely... Though don't you think you put a bit much fabric into your skirt? You could have used half and had enough left for a second dress.

Me: It's more comfortable this way. Not as clingy. And it's cut to be low waste, so you get a lot of bang for your buck.

Mom: ... How much is in there?

Me: Only like 4 meters.

Mom: Of a low waste pattern.

Me: Yup.

Mom: Give me one reason you need that much "bang for your buck".

Me:
