working in a factory has you thinking so much about the insane chain of labor & transport that goes into making literally anything
#like first you realize that You are making & doing things that you previously had thought - if you'd thought abt it at all - were automated#& you become incredibly aware of how all the materials you're working with came from somewhere - these plastic clips are from france; this#fabric is from india etc. and that there are people in factories there making those things and that they are also probably getting their#materials from somewhere#one of the little things that makes me think about this the most is we have these 50m rolls of cotton banding we see onto canvas & nets#and in theory it should be all one piece but sometimes it's actually two pieces which you discover when you get far enough in the roll and#find that there's a join where it's been stitched together by hand (!). which is a little annoying bc we can't use that bit so you have#to cut that but out & stitch it together again on the machine which interrupts what you were sewing before & slows you down But it's so#striking to me bc like it's really easy to look at this banding & it's so exactly the same & obviously machine made it's Really easy to#forget that there are people there running these machines. who notice there's a break & have to stop what they're doing & get a needle &#thread and stitch it together. by hand! like someone somewhere has handled exactly where I'm touching it & i don't even know where in the#world they are!#the other place this happens is often on the selvedge edge of the fabric there's writing in pencil i don't know ye meaning of but evidently#was important to the process somewhere & someone wrote that out#idk like it's really easy to watch those videos of really specific machines in factories & convince yourself that everything is automated#but the truth is the vast majority of stuff is not & is made by people doing that. & even when it is there are people running those machine#<- and i'm not saying this in a soppy way tbc. this whole system is a nightmare of exploitation & to some degree I'm just continually amaze#by how insane this whole process is & also how completely un-transparent it is unless you are made to think abt it#another thing is noticeable when you look at our orders that most of what we sell isn't to customers it's to shops who then sell to custome#which then makes you think like. those plastic clips from france are they actually made in france or are we just buying them from france?#are they actually made by underpaid people in a country the name of which is completely lost to the chain of production at this point#anyways none of this is new it's just when you are working in a factory using this stuff you start wondering like.#what's the factory like that the person who stitched this banding together like. what's their day like there#wish we could talk abt how fucked up this all is - for them especially probably - together#thoughts

A kunisig hug, becouse they are my precious, fluffy comfort babies, and they deserve happiness. ☺️
+ sketch
Should I be drawing costume designs for my diploma? Absolutely. But I'm kinda fed up with the whole thing, I've been literally working on that thing day and night for the past months, and I'm very sleep deprived and the work just doesn't wanna end, and I missed drawing fanart so bad!!! So I did. And it was worth it, couse now I feel better. 😊
#bsd#bungo stray dogs#bsd fanart#bsd sigma#bsd kunikida#kunikida doppo#kunisig#I spent so much time trying to draw Sigma's heels from this angle that by the end I almost forgave Bones for chickening out about it#almost#like the thing has hight heels but also a sole and there is a hole there also the tip and the bottom half looks like its leather or plastic#but the top looks like fabric or are thise his socks#those shoes are full of mysteries#like Honey where did you even buy those? 😅#he's so fashion icon for them tho

i'm feeling nice tonight, think i've finally decided that i am, in fact, going to let byan have a motorcycle when they're all grown up
#not until after college & after they finish their tattoo certification tho.#they won't be able to afford it until then anyway lmao#but they're also like. a little more responsible by then too.#it's gonna be pink for sure. if they can't buy it that way they will customize it themself!!!!#gonna be covered in kuromi decals too. so's their helmet.#yep i'm only getting happier with this decision the more i think about it tbh#i'll let them live their best life. i think they deserve it at that point tbh. they work hard to get where they end up and they deserve#a little treat. they deserve to have their own mode of transportation for the first time in their life uvu#━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ headcanon ⋮ danger in the fabric of this thing i made.

my 7 yards of silk-rayon burgundy velvet has been handwashed, dried, and properly hung up so it won't get creased before I get around to cutting out my pattern pieces
#and now I am le tired#sewing#fabric#velvet#my sewing#Yule dress#velvet Yule dress#Very Fancy Santa Hat#I did end up with a couple of teeny tiny marks from when I hung the fabric to drip-dry on the line before I could put it in the dyer#there's one visible in this photo if you know where to look#I've seen some techniques for getting those kinds of marks out of silk velvet but I'm not going to worry about it right now#once I actually lay this out to cut out pieces for my dress and Jack's hat (and whatever else this fabric ends up being) I'll deal with it#on an as-needed basis and not like. scouring the whole 7 yards for every little imperfection#generally it came through the washing and drying process FANTASTICALLY and is actually way less creased and marked than it was before#and I'm not such a delusional perfectionist as to think that I can keep velvet looking photoshoot-pristine when worn in real life lol#but at least this way I won't have to baby the fabric and fear spilling something on it and being unable to wash it out#and actually the silk brocade I washed for my Rhaenyra cosplay last year held up so well that even when I DID spill an alcoholic beverage#the dress just completely shrugged it off. I used a wet napkin on it at the time and it's completely disappeared#don't listen to anyone who says you can't get silk wet. you just have to wash it and dry it BEFORE you sew it and then it's fine#I bought this fabric from SYFabrics.com if anyone happens upon this in the tags and wants to buy similar fabric#highly recommend SYFabrics they have never failed me

been scrubbing these damn shoes w the white soles for eternity
#not fandom related#personal log stardate#WHY did i buy shoes w white soles in the 1st place anyway#and then they chafed my ankle and squeezed my lil toe after walking w them for a while#then i learned i could give them back. however. i had worn them before. hence the scrubbing#a chemistry friend told me acetone works wonders but. well. i don't have access to a chem lab so no acetone for me#i tried soap salt dishwasher soap vinegar baking powder toothpaste. they do look almost perfectly white again#but if you look at them under good light you can see that they are not factory clean#also i got the fabric wet while scrubbing and i tried blowdrying but it took too long#so now i let them airdry until tmr and then I'll return them#if i have to pay a fee for worn shoes or maybe even won't get any money back so be it. i was just too stupid#never ever will i buy shoes w white soles again. well and if i do them i will Not wear them anywhere where they can get dirty to try them#if i hadn't worn them i wouldn't have noticed the chafing and squeezing so it was good to wear them i just should've been more careful l#to not get them dirty#now im gonna go see my gp real quick bc i need a new T prescription. last i got a bottle that lasts only 1 mo in by the time it's empty#i won't be in the country to get new T so i need to refill it now. i hope i won't have to wait and that my gp understands and will actually#prescribe it

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?

Part 2 Act II: Blooming Petals And Morning Dew
Pinning paper wings on problems Hoping that they'll fly away Turn our backs, ignore the truth If they can't support the weight Destiny is overrated So I think I'll write my own I don't believe it's complicated
We Are the In Crowd: Reflections
#sso#ssoblr#montana opalheart#sso moodboard#I found out a cosplay reseller website is doing flash sales on 9 days and 3 of them are exam days for me#the flash sale starts at the exact time my exam begins so if those three days are the days the cosplays I'm interested in get put in there#I will cry#also found a fabric store where I can buy fabric that's actually affordable and now I want to see if they have anything I could use for sive#because yes I do want to make a cosplay for her her design is fucking cool#buuut there are 2 other cosplays I have planned and I do need to make one for a con in August and the other needs repairing#so sive is like 3rd in line#and I also have to figure out just how the fuck I'm gonna sew that

I've been in the planning stages of a shawl-collar waistcoat for a little while, but the other day I impulsively started another shirt, this time a frilled formal one using some white linen I got on clearance a while back. since I know my way around the construction of these pretty well by now, whereas the waistcoat will be unfamiliar and require closer attention, I figured that making another shirt would be nicer as a thing to occupy my hands while I clear out the backlog of a podcast I've been listening to.
anyway some napkin math based on the average length of the podcast episodes suggests I've been working this shirt for some 10 hours now? it doesn't feel like it takes that long but evidently it does
#sewing#i guess this is like partly a sewing blog now?#anyway though it's turning out really nice so far. my technique is a lot neater than it was when I started#also i've been sewing like a madman partly because there was a while where i kept impulsively buying fabric#so i'm telling myself i have to work through a solid chunk of my frivolous purchases before i can plan new stuff
