finished my patchwork jacket 😁😁

#this was such a perseverence project i've never quilted anything so sewing the patches and quilting and sewing the pattern... omg....#my goal is to be more sustainable with clothes shopping habits so now if i want something i have to make it vidkkskcjs #i want to remove as much polyester as possible so this is all cotton / linen / bamboo #i got some fabrics from a thrift store and the rest from my local sewing shop. very excited to sew more! i haven't sewn much in years!#salad dad #my art

the last couple of years i've thrifted just about all my non-underwear clothes, but i needed a pair of black formal-looking trousers on short notice, so for "speed and efficiency's sake" (hah...), i decided to go to the mall just this once

JESUS the quality of fast fashion has PLUMMETED these last few years! of course it was always low-quality, but i was genuinely shocked that in five chain stores i couldn't find ONE pair of women's black trousers that a) were in a non-synthetic fabric, b) had enough fabric to not be see-through and have pockets, or c) weren't already fraying or had loosening stitches or buttons

the men's section at least had a couple of items in natural fibers (and thus i can hope they will hold up through at least one cycle of washing), but i still had to pick the one with the fewest loose threads sticking out

thrifting clothes is a bit of an ordeal (there are no secondhand stores nearby so i must plan a trip there; the assortment is random; browsing the racks requires more attention; often the clothes don't have sizing tags anymore) but GOD was trying to find something halfway wearable in a chain store a lot more work and WAY more depressing

#and then i'm just pissed off that women's clothing is MARKEDLY lower quality than men's in the same store #i say men's and women's clothing because that's how the stores categorize them. obviously i don't fucking care which one i end up wearing #it's just VERY OBVIOUS that if i need to find anything in cotton or non-seethrough linen i have to go to men's section #and of course everything's more expensive than it was three years ago and still the quality's gone to SHIT

The Great SCA Garage Sale is coming up (formally known as Kris Kinder) and I have pinky promised not to buy fabric at Kris Kinder. I already have a lot of fabric. In fact, I have donated quite a bit of my fabric stash (34 yards plus various fleece pieces barely made a dent) for the Barony's fundraiser at Kris Kinder. I have told the person driving me to Kris Kinder not to let me back into the car if I am carrying fabric I bought at Kris Kinder. I WILL NOT BUY FABRIC AT KRIS KINDER.

Anyway this past few days (not kris kinder) i got a pretty great haul of fabric.

#my posts #letter of the law-ing myself #listen!#what was I supposed to do!#i went to a town i rarely go to #and there was a CRAFT EXCLUSIVE THRIFT SHOP #and they had ENTIRE SECTIONS for WOOL and LINEN #YES i bought eleven yards plus three for my twin #I'm gonna use them!#very soon!#YES i also bought three yards at a different thrift store #its gonna make a really nice warm overskirt!#or maybe a nice full length cloak!#anyway I can very safely not buy fabric at kris kinder

Happy I Wish I Was Anywhere Else Monday

#personal shite #I wish #that I was #anywhere else #projecting my consciousness to the philladelphia museum of art #projecting my consciousness to the fabric store #projecting my consciousness to 20 days from now when my fine gingham linen comes in and I can start sewing my dress #but alas #I'm at work :(

Have I ranted to you lot about the person who was looking for donations of "cotton" (fabric)?

I'm like sure, I have lots of cotton fabric. What kind are you looking for? I have jersey, I have quilting cotton, etc.

Turns out that she didn't actually know much about fabric (good for her for taking on sewing projects like this anyhow), and as far as I can tell meant quilting cotton specifically. To quote: "I'm honestly not sure what you mean about woven - cotton fabrics are woven, I thought..."

And like, I get it. It's hard to learn that sort of thing. I've read multiple guides on different fabric types and still can't recognise most of them. And the fact that I'm embarrassed that I can't recognise what counts as a shirting-weight fabric, or that a fabric is chambray should help me have compassion for someone who didn't have enough, frankly rather esoteric, knowledge of fabric types to know what they didn't know.

But cotton. Have you never read the tag on a t-shirt and seen what percentage cotton it is? Of all the fibre/weave/fabric type mix ups, cotton?

#For example #we had a Reach for the Top question about what linen was from #I buzzed in faster than my teammate #which was good #because he would have said cotton #because he legit didn't know what linen was #and was thinking of household linens #(he may have known about linen but not well enough to think of it)#and I don't complain about flannel vs flannette #especially since one of those you can buy in stores #and the other is a specialty fabric #and I'm sure there's stores that sell it #but I wouldn't know where #people thinking that silk means silk satin #that sort of thing #but cotton is an every day fibre!#how do you not know that?

Literally so disgusted at the clothing industry at the moment??? Pretty much every store that used to be affordable is asking insane prices for like???? Much cheaper, worse quality items???? Like why is everything at H&M for example 40/50€ for some fucking Polyester bullshit?????

#at this point i p much only shop online anymore during sales and only with like quality fabric.... bc what's all this fr #only store I go to in person for clothes shopping is tk maxx tbh #i found the most beautiful linen dress there from a designer brand and it was cheaper than some synthetic ugly ass dress from h&m

staring directly into the sun i need to find a fabric store that sells good fabric that i can use to diy clothes for the ren faire i wanna make a thigh bag or book holster but idk how to find durable stuff ((i dont have the best trust in joanns fabric im hesitant)

#i cant work with leather rn i dont have the tools or patience (or money)#i wanna find linen or canvas since i think that has the best texture #and i need more rings n stuff so i can attach strappies #fuck im making too many projects in my efforts to not do homework #dragon's discussions #i also need to go on a good thrift store run potentially for fabric

@mayakern OK so I have a PLAN to write a nice and helpful review of your skirts, but I honestly have no idea if I'll actually be able to follow through anytime soon or if it'll just languish in my head for the rest of time, so this is a PLACEHOLDER nice and helpful review that just says HER SKIRTS ARE V. NICE, IF PLUS SIZE AND ON FENCE HIGHLY RECOMMEND DO BUY

#this is in fact me tricking myself into writing a helpful review #by putting the stuff in the tags #these skirts are a+++#i'd been looking at the sunflowers skirt longingly for months #and then it was on sale and i was everything is terrible i want cheerful sunflowers #and i got it #wore it #and immediately ran into the problem of wanting to wear it every day #(side note i now have purchased three additional skirts)#for the texture-sensitive people such as myself! important info:#material feels like bamboo cotton like you can get in sheets #so if you don't know what that feels like and if it's an ok texture you can go to a store that sells bed linens and find a sample #n.b. it's not exactly the same probably but it feels close enough for me #and i am . notoriously picky about textures #the skirts are full enough that even though the material is soft and light #it hangs heavily enough to not show off anything you're wearing underneath #and disguises that you've got stuff in your pockets #even if your pockets are FULL #(and these are BIG POCKETS)#the sizes overlap - I got the larger size of the ones i fit into #and i like the fit but did find that my pockets will start pulling them down a bit #which is less of a problem if both pockets are full #and more of a problem if it's just one pocket #so i have now ordered the size down as well #anyways yes highly recommend #yes expensive but also! not actually THAT expensive!#because this stuff is quality??#like i buy shit from torrid which is somewhat cheaper #but also will start falling apart within six months if not sooner #and i can tell that when it arrives because of the stitching etc

identifying textile fibres by touch is like a game to me now, i'm getting pretty good at guessing them. so i idly started feeling this one texture near my leg and i was like 'cotton for sure. but i don't remember wearing a cotton skirt today'

well yeah because the thing i was touching was my cotton top bedsheet. right textile wrong item

#rubia speaks #it's super fun in thrift stores to play guessing games by feeling the garments #the little thrill i get when i feel and go 'that one's rayon' and i check the tag and it is #even better when i find a wool type or linen or cotton since i like those more. rayon is too slinky without being light like silk is #it makes garments feel heavier to me than they look without adding meaningful warmth #anyway after a number of months of doing this little game it is pretty easy for me now and i get a kick out of it

poor 🌸 is so constantly bedeviled by the fact that we have identical wardrobes

#this morning i left the bathroom to discover that we were wearing the same pair of dark wash uniqlo jeans #and identical shades of light blue button down [theirs cotton/mine linen]#so i left to go change. into my other recently ironed clean button down which is a white striped version of the exact shirt they had on #fortunately we no longer own identical sneakers bc i busted mine a few years ago and switched to converse #i honestly don't really mind but it hurts them.#secretly i am thinking about how if i learn to sew i can select fabrics i would hate to make them shirts with #i won't do that because i do not anticipate getting good enough at sewing for collared shirts. but id kind of like to #box opener #unfortunately when you have a moderately depressed transmasc and a closeted butch transfem nonbinary person who go out shopping together #at the same two affordable-and-nearby stores. and are almost identical heights and builds with not dissimilar coloring #and the same job.#you get. uh. um. well you get this.
