My late eighteenth century shirt is complete! It is completely hand sewn and hand finished, down to the buttons I wrapped.
For general dimensions and construction methods, I followed @vincentbriggs ā€˜s blog post here (although I believe heā€™s got a more detailed video on the subject in the works on his youtube channel!). I also referenced to various extant shirts in museum collections for information on collar and cuff proportion trends and usual seam finishing techniques. Particularly for the cuffs, I worked more directly off this shirt in the V&Aā€™s collections, which has a laundry mark dating it to 1791. I did use a different type of Dorset button than the ones on the 1791 shirt. I believe that style is a blandford crosswheel, while mine are cartwheels

The fabric is a historically inaccurate cotton percale salvaged from a lone twin fitted sheet purchased at a thrift store. You can still see the creases left by the elastic gathered sheet seam along the bottom edge of the shirt. Even using the entire length of the sheet, I did end up with much shorter tails than is appropriate for the era. They throw off the proportions of the garment when unworn or untucked, but as you can see here itā€™s still a perfectly functional amount of shirt, particularly on my not at all tall body.

I do want to sew a proper linen version with some modifications at some pointā€” if only because linen is such a good fabric for my climateā€” Although Iā€™ve done a decent amount of repair sewing and put a sweater together with kitchenerā€™s stitch, this shirt is the first garment Iā€™ve cut and sewn. Iā€™m genuinely very pleased with it.

... What if Pariah Dark was a giant kinda like other extremely powerful ghosts in the series? Sorry I just can't stop thinking about the image of a giant castle and Danny waking up in a giant bed because the Crown sensed his distress at being possibly vulnerable with his parents around and spirited him away automatically to what is now his Lair as he was sleeping. Immense confusion some hilarity and a bit of sadness.... Just how I like it.

nat and jackieā€™s relationship drives me NUTS! youā€™re telling me that nat was the one who buried her bones? the one who wrapped her so delicately in cloth and carried her across feet of snow just to make sure sheā€™s at rest? the one who sat down with her in the wreckage of the plane and give her the most meaningful sendoff she couldā€™ve gotten? nat didnā€™t NEED jackie the way those girls did. they way they wanted her was carnivorous and clinical, one-sided. they ripped away her sanctity, her autonomy, her literal flesh. they feasted on her and tore her from shred to shred because even in death, jackie gives. nat didnā€™t NEED to put jackie at rest, but she did because she knows whatā€™s itā€™s like. after all, isnā€™t nat also just a pile of bones in the middle of the forest, just giving and giving and giving? nat didnā€™t NEED to give jackie that good-bye, but she did cause sheā€™s a giver and a lover and she knows thatā€™s going to kill her the way it killed jackie.

One thing we do not give Midoriya enough credit for is training to be a hero while someone he admired was watching. he had to go from normal nerdy teenager to OFA user & hero school hopeful in like ten months while his idol was literally right there critiquing his every move. have you ever tried to do anything ever while someone you admired was watching you? this truly was my anxiety academia

You're in luck, take these warmups. He doesn't like physical contact with strangers anymore since 99% of the time they either complain about him being too cold or don't know how to handle his arm without causing him pain. (Sam and Tucker are experts at avoiding that at this point)

Please make a tea post so I can save it especially the pineapple ice cubes I need more info
Oh, like, different teas I like to make? Okay! :D
šŸPineapple TeašŸ
The way I do it is really simple:
Buy a giant jug of already-made tea (I like gold peak!)
Buy a carton of pineapple juice
Freeze the juice into cubes, pour a little of it in the tea for extra flavor
And that's it. That's aaaall you gotta do.
There's all kindsa ways you can dress it up, but nine times out of ten I just do this and drink it by the gallon when it's hot out.
If you wanna get fancy with it, feel free to cold brew your own black (or green) tea, add actual hunks of pineapple fruit in there, add some orange juice, add some honey, add some coconut milk or sweetened condensed milk, whatever sounds good! (Also, pairing pineapple tea with coconut cookies? SO GOOD.) Put mint in the pineapple cubes if you like mint! Add a bit of boiled ginger root or some brown sugar and cinnamon for a little kick! Heck, last summer I used blue peaflower star-shaped ice cubes just because they were pretty.
Tumblr media
(Peaflower petals don't taste like much, but they make a GORGEOUS blue, and if you put something acidic in there like lemon juice IT TURNS PINK. :D)
šŸ“Strawberry TeašŸ“
I find this stuff sort of difficult to find where I live, so often I go the same route as the pineapple tea: grab a jug of black tea, grab a jug of strawberry juice, (ocean spray has a really nice cran-strawberry one I like) freeze the juice, mix, and enjoy. Super simple.
If I can't find strawberry juice, I dice some strawberries up and put it in a jar with some water and a bit of sugar for a few hours, then add *that* to the tea. (heck, it's really nice all by itself!)
What goes with strawberry? ANY DANG THING YOU WANT. I am particularly fond of lychee. Jasmine tea and rose petals pair really well with it too. Again, if you like mint, it's *really* nice with strawberry. And you know how if you put black pepper on strawberries they taste even strawberrier? (If you haven't tried this, go do it, it's magic.) Same goes with the tea, add some peppercorns or a teeny bit of chili powder or some ginger.
If you wanna drink it hot or cold brew a batch of your own, here are some brands that are also nice:
1. Strawberry Sensation
2. Adagio Strawberry Tea (this is also where I got the peaflower petals)
3. Any of Lupicia's Strawberry Teas they are HEAVENLY
šŸApple TeašŸ
As with the pineapple and strawberry teas, it's totally fine to just go find some ready-made tea and mix it with some apple cider or apple juice for tasty low spoons fun. If you drink it iced, a bit of sugar and lemon juice brings out the apple flavor nicely!
I prefer drinking this stuff hot though. You know that Fall Drink post that was floating around? IF YOU HAVEN'T YET, TRY IT, IT'S AWESOME.
ā˜•Chai Teaā˜•
So here's the thing about chai for me personally: I don't tend to drink it iced or sugary, but if you do like it iced and sugary, there are a couple of really nice chai tea concentrates:
Oregon Chai Latte
Tazo's Chai Latte (Forget the "skinny" nonsense, I just wanted to include an option with no milk so you can add whatever you want to it)
Pacific Chai isn't concentrated, but you can use it to make hot or iced chai and it's really lovely, not too sweet and super easy to work with. As for dressing up chai, I don't tend to! There's already so much going on with all the flavors, I just drink it as-is most days. Play with milk-to-tea ratios or sugar amounts all you like, figure out what's your jam.
I do know that mixing chai and coffee together (or chai and chocolate together) is guaranteed to make a feeling groovy kind of morning, at least if you have two thumbs and you're me. Iiii think that's all the tea blather I can think of for right now. Thank you for asking, anon, it was fun! Anybody reading this, feel free to add your own favorite things to do with tea. :D
