This was soooo fun to move around,wondering how it will move when I drape it onto the body

With the fabric that I have and explored with I really wanted to think back with the fabric Aleksei Dayneks used which was feather silk however getting my hands one that type of silk was pretty difficult so I found another alternative that still moves beautifully and can resemble the movement of a fish. Organza Silk was the alternative that I ended up using. I seen something was missing in my experimentation and now with this silk I was explore draping with it and the fabrics I have now. I’ve included a video to show you how the fabric moves and how I it looks like the movement of the fin and tail of a koi fish.

Songs have fabric in them but I can't tell if that's synesthesia or if I just love fabric that much

assigning the choir fabric types idk this came to me like a dream except i am wide awake and staring at god in form of a deer

ocean- corduroy. heavy, a bit stiff and kind of unyielding until you wear it down. unpredictable and a bit hard to work with at first. kind of like the horse in those horse girl movies, or a printer

noel- satin/silk. smooth and airy and just a little bit sexy. trimmed with lace

mischa- linen. breezy and cool and good for that disheveled look. pirate vibes

ricky- iridescent organza. specifically hes purpley-blue. cant elaborate on this one but it looks gay

penny- pure wool. can theoretically be made at home, or in a commune.

jane- cotton. plain, common and practically a blank slate. could be anything

constance- flannel. warm and cozy

the clearance organza i ordered is supposed to come in soon so fingers crossed it doesnt look like absolute shit so i can make a semi-formal dress out of it. if it does look like shit, i'm gonna have a brand new summer wardrobe that is all in the same pattern

about 10 years ago I was in need of an iron, particularly for sewing but also because I somehow just. didn’t own an iron. I went looking for recommendations and reviews, and decided that the irons that people rave about are way too fancy and in all likelihood I wouldn’t know the difference anyway.

also I’m a little weakling spoonie with frequent dislocations and other joint problems, and all the serious business irons out there looked heavy. and my sewing space is incredibly small, really just one corner in a room that’s meant to be a dining room, but is also the pass-through from the kitchen to the rest of the house. so in the end I bought a tiny little travel iron for less than $20 on Amazon, in like May 2013. 

it has a steam on-off switch, and buttons to squeeze for a blast of steam, and a dial that goes from off to high with three little temperature markings in between -- no actual temperature numbers, no fabric types, just low medium high. it can hold about 1/4 cup of water at a time, and it is only barely bigger than my hand.

but I figured, for that price, if it died in a year I could just replace it and have a better idea of what other features -- which is to say, any features at all, lol -- I would want in an iron.

but then over the last decade of not infrequent use. it just. hasn’t died. it’s been a little champ of my tiny little sewing space, tackling everything I throw at it, pressing cotton and silk nice and crisp on high, but not melting polyester on the low setting, either.

I’ve never particularly babied it, since again I paid like $18 for it. I’ve always put tap water in the reservoir and often left it sitting in there, and over the nearly 10 years of its service, it’s built up a bit of calcium scale. every now and then it shows up on the soleplate, and I’ll clean it up a little bit, but that’s about it.

well today, as I was trying to squeeze in a little pressing for the next step of my RRD cosplay project, this little champ of an iron started spitting calcium water as it was heating up. just bubbling and foaming and generally looking really unwell. thankfully it wasn’t anywhere near my fabric (tho that silk has been washed and will be washed again, since it’s going to be the underdress), but I unplugged it and thought, welp, I guess it’s finally happened. I guess my little iron is finally dying.

I went to look it up on Amazon just to see if they still have it -- they do, and now it’s only $12. Jack said I should just order it, rather than risk something happening to my nice cosplay fabric.

but I find myself weirdly attached to this little workhorse of a tiny iron? not just this model, but this specific iron. we’ve been through a lot together, and I know that if I’d been feeding it distilled water all these years like I should have, it wouldn’t be so congested now. 

so I went and looked up some info online about cleaning calcium scale out of irons, and followed some instructions about putting a mix of white vinegar and distilled water in the reservoir and then out through the steam system. it may need more than one round, with all the heavy water it’s had over the years, but I’m hopeful it may yet be saved. but hey, if not, at least I’ll only be out $12.

it’s just. idk. humans will packbond with anything. even literally the cheapest and simplest iron ever made.

edit: I was able to clean out the calcium build-up by putting a half and half mixture of white vinegar and distilled water in the reservoir and letting it steam off, then replacing that with distilled water, and now it’s all cleaned up and working like new again. it’s this little Sunbeam brand travel iron, for those who are curious
