Now it goes without saying that learning to sew gives you this amazing engagement with the way textiles come together (which rules) but what they don't tell you is that sewing is a psyop to encourage you to do Ironing

Look up ‘old fashioned flat iron’ and you’ll see what to look for if you want an iron that can be heated on a stovetop. When I live, there’s a lot to sell for a couple of euros in every attic sale or summer market. Some of them are really beautiful too. Works wonder, do humidify your fabric beforehand, and have pieces of scrap fabric to test the heat with when you first learn to use it. ;)
I remember seeing these as a kid, in various attics and old people homes. I never realized these were being heated though, I thought you just press them in the fabric and they're so heavy they manage to iron it. How did people heat them tho?

What they don't tell you about sewing is how much darn ironing it takes.
And don't get me started on owning cats and trying a new hobby.
Why did I decide mending my topsheet was necessary a week before moving?
I'm, like, nearly done but _geez_

Any facts on Bump's wardrobe in general?
Whew. Bump fanbase came out in full swing lately. Splendid!
OWL HOUSE FACT #59: Bump hates ironing and often either uses a spell to iron his clothes for him or - when he’s rarely feeling especially lazy - he’ll use a concealment stone to look presentable. The last time he probably ironed something with his two hands was when he had his interview with Faust because he was afraid Faust could tell.
