I had a mighty itch to sew something new for this year's Vienna pride parade! I have my amazing rainbow dress of course, but I kinda wanted to add to my rainbow closet. I have a couple more clothing ideas, but due to what fabric I could find last minute I went with a rainbow flag skirt, with the 6 classic colours.

(So, red - orange - yellow - green - blue and purple.) Doing something with the updated flag would be cool aswell, though I see that one more as a top. I don't know why, but that's how it is! Anyway, for this year's new rainbow skirt I went with linen fabric - because linen is amazing and I love it dearly. Linen always makes me happy and I DEFINITELY need more linen clothes for sure!!

The skirt is made up of 12 stripes (/rectangles) of fabric: each 66cm wide and about 70cm long. I used the pre-made edges of the fabric for the hem, because I like the effect that gives the hem (and it also saved me a ton of work with hemming the almost 8m hem circumference the skirt ended up with!!). Each of the 12 stripes of fabric was gathered down to about 16cm at the top, (after sewing together all the sides) and then attached to the purple waistband.

And yes of course the skirt also has pockets!!!

There was a hole in the green fabric, which I immediately had to mend before it gets bigger. I covered it with a fabric patch cut from a scrap of the green fabric (see pic 5 for what I did, I folded the scrap around the paper shape I've drawn, removed the paper and hand stitched it over the hole).

[id]9 pictures in total:

First two show freshly bought fabric in rainbow colours: red - orange- yellow - green - blue - purple arranged in semi-rainbow-shape on a wooden table. The fabric is folded up in different rectangles. Under the fabric are 5 rolls of satin ribbon arranged. The satin ribbon is in the colours of the lesbian pride flag.

Pic 3 shows the washed fabric hanging on a metal drying rack, so it can air dry.

Pic 4 shows the cut to lenght individual pieces of fabric lying next to a purple/violett sewing machine, all ready for action!

Pic 5 is a close up of a paper pattern piece about to be cut out, with a pencil, a cute purple ruler, sewing thread and a brown muffin shaped pin cushion arranged aesthetically.

Pic 6 shows the rectangles already joined into a skirt, with the top edge gathered down, lying on the wooden table next to the sewing machine.

Pic 7 and 8 are close ups from the pride parade: they show a young fat white woman with long brown hair wearing a sunny-yellow summer top with big poofy sleeves and a red sports bra underneath. She's got classes and for accessories magenta coloured felt flower earrings (with yellow flower middles) and a rainbow flower necklace. You can see her friend in the background of the close-up (with her head cut off). It's a thin white woman, wearing a shiny silver-white close fitting cropped bodice and a circle skirt with pink, white and purple srtripes on it. Pic 8 shows the above mentioned two young women hugging and enjoying a moment of peace. There's a rainbow banner ceiling above them.

Finally, Pic 9 shows the young fat white woman with long brown hair standing ontop of a relatively empty pride parade truck, she's smiling and showing off her rainbow flag skirt. A green cloth scarf is tied like a belt around her waist and you can now see that she's wearing dark red velvet shoes with socks in a very similar colour. [/id]

saying “visual style" because, for example, if you would swap your current wardrobe for an identical, ethically made counterpart, there would be no visible change

#bearer of the curse #polls #I said a lot bc I don't wear a lot of what I enjoy due to sensory stuff and also like ... ethical considerations #btw I made this post bc I really don't like how some people think that people 'dress boring' simply bc theyre boring #like. fashion is not as accessible as it should be! to most people! #so i wanted to see how people felt #also fat people I love you I know a massive part of this inaccessibility is fatphobia in the fashion industry

Okay I’ve been simmering on this today but like. We need more representations of fatness and weight gain as signs of healing. So so often in media weight loss is meant to be a sign of becoming healthier or happier and I’m ready to see more of the opposite!

Give me characters who hadn’t had secure access to food in the past having stable food and filling out from finally being able to eat when they’re hungry.

Give me characters who have always felt like they had to adhere to a standard for fear of judgment finally gaining weight as they become more comfortable with themselves and their bodies.

Give me couples getting fatter together because they know they’ll be loved and because life’s too short to worry about dieting and controlling intake all the time.

Give me characters who’ve struggled with disordered eating habits in the past who get progressively chunkier as they recover with the help of people who adore them.

Give me fatness as a sign of comfort. Of health. Of security and recovery and confidence. Give me fatness as a sign of happiness.

this post reminded me of this ~scenario~ that happens to me and other fat folks quite often! thin folks that are our friends, support fat folks, but haven’t quite had the time or chance or willingness to unlearn fatphobic ideas in relation to themselves. we know you still think of fatness as inherently unhealthy and unattractive, work on it ♥

#any weirdos are getting blocked asap #and uhh if you come asking for advice or how to unlearn it idk man follow fat creators #listen to fat people talk about their experiences #follow fat instagram models and allow yourself to find them attractive #its fun i promise #youll grow i promise #finding beauty in a wider range of body types has only ever done my brain good #you learn to love yourself through loving others #cw weight #cw fatphobia

hello fanartist. in front of you is a character who is canonically fat, and mentioned to be fat in the media. you have 30 seconds to explain to me why you've drawn them skinny and box shaped without saying "its my style," "i don't know how to draw fat people," or "i didn't know they were fat" before i push you onto the landmine behind you. the timer starts now.

#SORRY DIALTOWN ARTISTS MAKR ME WANNA RIP MY HAIR OUT #okay you dont draw the fanonly character fat. thats fine i dont care #okay you dont draw the fandom-applied fat character who isnt fat in canon as skinny. thats also okay. #WHY WONT YOU DRAW THE FAT CHARACTER FT #WHY ARE THEY SOSKINY #ITS RIGHT NEXT TO THE SORITE!!!!! YOU CAN SEE IT!!!!! FOR FUVKS SAKE!!!! #THEY'RE LITERALLY CALLED FAT #THEY'RE LITERALLY FST!!!!!!! #FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. #YOU PEOPLE #sorry i heart dialtown but this fanart makes me wanna pull my eyeballs out and use them s martini olives. #loser_txt.png

When you feel like the walking dead because of the heat and dress up cute anyway for an ounce of serotonin...

Do you think my imitation will flatter the sun and I'll be spared??

[id]A fat white young queer woman with glasses and long brown hair (worn in a braid over her shoulder). She's posing in front of a wooden door with a hering bone pattern and the house is coloured a pale yellow as well. The whole picture is tilted funny, which reflects her off-kilter feeling on that day (though it was a happy accident because there was only a flower pot to balance her cellphone on for taking a selfie).

The woman is wearing a dark yellow top with puffy sleeves (can be worn off the shoulder like pictured or pulled up). Pulled down you can see her black sports bra. She's wearing a black leather cord necklace with a golden arrow head pendant. Her shorts are the same colour as the top, with a bold cartoony star print on it (the stars have bold black outlines and are either very yellow too or a very almost-white- yellow.

To complete the outfit she's wearing black strappy sandals and a black bag with dark gold bells. The golden bells on the bag reference the dark golden arrow head pendant. [/id]

#thellos art corner #zombiecleo fanart #hermitcraft #hermitblr #mcyt fanart #mcyt #ok time for a peek inside my skull: i really contemplated not posting this. not for any reasons of disliking it #im pretty conscious about how fat people are characterized/portrayed around food in media. both in fan works and canonized material #(flashbacks to hunk from voltron) i really think about ways to defy the way fat bodies are portrayed in my works. while also staying normal #i think at the end of the day i really see food as a love language. and serving people i love (even if its just coffee) brings me joy #even if theres a one-dimensional box that fat characters get put into regarding food. it makes me happy! so i'll try to do it with grace #i think representation isnt always this mentally twisting lol. but its definitely something i think about. #i hope i can positively project my feelings about food and love onto a plus size body (as a chubby girl :handheart:) and showcase that love #ok yeah yeah its 11pm. time to put meemaw in bed. if you read all this ur rad <3 also i stopped watching HC peeposad

I really think it’s important to keep fat people in mind when talking about reproductive health care. So many birth control options are not as effective on fat people and none of these options are researched enough, either.

Fat people get worse health care in general and are taken less seriously and many surgeons refuse to work with fat people or offer suboptimal care, which puts them at risk when it comes to surgical abortion.

Not even getting into how being fat is tied to conditions that involve having irregular periods, which means noticing a pregnancy later and having reduced, more expensive options for abortion. Just to have less empathetic, less considerate health care workers waiting on the other side.

Fat people should not be left out of reproductive health care concerns. This isn’t even getting into how fat people are left out the flip side of reproductive care (ie getting help getting pregnant and being coached about fertility, being discouraged from getting pregnant at all or trying out options like IVF).

Especially when so much fatphobia is based in classism, ableism, and racism and plays into mortality rates. Like these are vital discussions to be had and they are all connected.

#like i’d love to believe the people offering abortions #and working in these fields are more open minded #and more helpful to fat people #but we know that isn’t the case #feminism leaves behind fat people all the time
