I brought the skirt I'm working on to the museum yesterday, to get some hand-sewing done at the desk between tours (a lot of my projects end up being done half-hand and half-machine, because I love working on the train or during downtime at my various jobs). you know, the one made of the God-Tier WoolTM

when I invited my coworker, a 19-year-old student, to feel the fabric- in that "OH MY GOD FEEL THIS!!!" tone -her jaw dropped

she had never felt soft, light- or even medium-weight wool in her life. she previously thought, it turns out, that all wool was coarse, heavy, and itchy. she couldn't stop stroking it with that awestruck look on her face

truly, fuck fast fashion and the modern garment industry. for depriving us of sensory richness in our clothing so thoroughly that most of us don't even know what we've lost

#clothing #fashion #I've handled things in museums that you just can't get today. like at all. or you have to pay the stars and the moon for something #that used to be commonplace #and then you go to Target or even thrift stores and it's mostly just. 500 shades of polyester. plus MAYBE two types of cotton #everything feels like jersey no matter what it's actually made of. nothing has substance or structure #Hell Clothing truly

thinking about puppet tattoo parlors. A wall covered in so many different thread colors to choose from - swatches of different types of stitch for different textures / effects. modified handheld sewing machines for tattooing with multiple settings for the different stitches. individual needles + embroidery thread as stick n pokes...

#THINKING SO HARD ABOUT THIS #wouldnt this be cool though???#cause i was thinking fondly of tattoos and went 'hm. how would a puppet do this?'#cause ink can bleed in fabric. it can scrub out. the lines wouldnt be as clean and i just dont think it would really Stick?#but EMBROIDERY! STITCHES! COOL SEWING GUNS INSTEAD OF TATTOO MACHINES!!!#and now im wondering Could They Remove Their Tattoos?#it would probably be pretty invasive!#hold on im doing research real quick #yeah looks like they'd need to lift their felt/fleece/skin to get at the back of the stitches #then sew the skin back together afterwards...#so to them tattoos would be just as permanent as they are to Us! because who wants to go through That!#im having a grand ol time imagining the Range their tattoos would have #textures! endless colors! glitter thread! metallic thread! wool! cotton! polyester! glow in the dark! scratch n sniff!#that last one was a joke.#imagining someone with an entire detailed forest scene carpeting their back... it has Depth...#absolutely unprompted #puppets #sundown summer is getting a motherfuckin tattoo if its the last thing i do #resisting the urge to just litter every puppet that i know of with this idea #YOU get a tattoo and YOU get a tattoo and YOU-

Fabric types and summer heat

The world is seeing record temperatures again. A lot of people find little comfort in their summer wardrobe these days, so it's important to be aware of how fabric types can influence your well-being in hot weather.

The following list of fabrics is by no means exhaustive, but it covers the basics.

Some of the fabrics mentioned below are expensive when bought new. You'll often find them for cheap in second-hand shops and on thrifting platforms though. I'm literally wearing a €5 linen underskirt, a €1 silk top, and a €7 silk summer dress right now, just to give an example.

General notes:

If you don't know where to start, try to stick to light-weight fabrics made of natural fibres. Look for light colours and open weaves.

You might be tempted to cover as little skin as possible in order to keep cool, but this leaves your skin vulnerable to sunburn. A thin layer of linen will often be more efficient at keeping you cool than leaving your skin bare.

Don't forget to wear sunscreen! Even if your skin type doesn't burn easily, it will still lower your chances of skin cancer. Look into sunscreens for children if you have sensory issues: they tend to be more sensory-friendly.

Polyester (to avoid):

Are your summer clothes making you ridiculously sweaty? Check the tag: you're probably wearing polyester.

Polyester is a synthetic fabric derived from petroleum: it's basically a plastic. It's strong, cheap, and stain resistant, which makes it a popular fabric. Even though a lot of summer clothes are made out of polyester, it's one of the worst fabrics to wear in summer.

Polyester is neither absorbent nor breathable, and captures heat. It traps sweat between your skin and your clothes, and it won't let you cool down. This leaves you feeling sticky and overheated. It can also cause static cling, which can be uncomfortable.

Not all synthetic fabrics are bad in summer: a lot of UV-blocking clothes are made of synthetics for example and can be a real life saver if you're sensitive to the sun. Try to avoid polyester if you can, though.

Cotton:

Cotton is a natural fibre that makes for a soft, durable, and breathable fabric. It allows air to circulate around your body which helps to keep you cool and get rid of sweat. It's a good basic choice.

Cotton has one downside: it's very absorbent, but takes a while to dry. If the weather's making you sweat excessively, the sweat can pool into the fabric of your cotton clothes. This will make them wet, resulting in visible sweat stains that can feel uncomfortable and will take a long time to dry.

If you can't stand how cotton feels, check out chambray weaves or bamboo textiles. They have similar properties to plain-weave cotton, but tend to be more sensory-friendly.

(Image source) [ID: close-up on a faded yellow tightly woven cotton fabric that folds into a swirl at its centre.]

Linen:

Linen is the absolute king of hot weather fabrics. It's strong, absorbent, dries quickly, and is very breathable. It cools you down, but won't make you feel sticky because any sweat it absorbs will evaporate fast.

I frequently layer multiple thin loose-fitting linen garments when it's hot. Loose layers allow for air to circulate between your clothes while protecting your skin from the sun. It almost functions as a wearable air-conditioner.

Note that linen is prone to wrinkling. If this bothers you, know that linen requires extra effort during laundry to avoid this.

(Image source) [ID: close-up on a gray woven linen fabric that folds into a swirl at its centre.]

Silk:

Silk is yet another natural fibre that makes for a strong, quick-drying, and pretty breathable fabric. It's soft and cool to the touch, which makes it a great sensory choice.

Silk is not as breathable as cotton or linen, but dries very quickly. This means it might make you sweat more than cotton or linen does, but once the fabric's moist it will dry faster.

Note that sweat stains on silk tend to be pretty visible. Silk's also prone to static cling.

Not really anything i just wanted to vent about rickrack

#mini comic #autobio #my art #I'm a perfectionist and the red I'm trying to match is specific and unpopular #i would dye it but the rickrack at joann is polyester and the trip to G street where they have cotton rickrack is...arduous

Trying to start a for real wedding registry so when we post on social media we can have links and Amazon is easy and ubiquitous but doesn’t actually have a lot of quality bedding and home goods.

I don’t want ten million links but I’d like to get stuff that doesn’t just wear out immediately.

#ramblies #it’s fine for tech but I’m looking for new bedding and it’s all synthetic $30 crap #no I want the good shit where’s your cotton linen and wool #if you type silk it will automatically include satin polyester #frustrating #also as like a never gonna happen I’d like to put a couch on it but my beloved has always wanted a love sac sectional #which is definitely not on Amazon

Researchers separate cotton from polyester in blended fabric

In a new study, North Carolina State University researchers found they could separate blended cotton and polyester fabric using enzymes—nature's tools for speeding chemical reactions. Ultimately, they hope their findings will lead to a more efficient way to recycle the fabric's component materials, thereby reducing textile waste.

However, they also found the process need more steps if the blended fabric was dyed or treated with chemicals that increase wrinkle resistance.

"We can separate all of the cotton out of a cotton-polyester blend, meaning now we have clean polyester that can be recycled," said the study's corresponding author Sonja Salmon, associate professor of textile engineering, chemistry and science at NC State.

"In a landfill, the polyester is not going to degrade, and the cotton might take several months or more to break down. Using our method, we can separate the cotton from polyester in less than 48 hours."

finally got gloves but theyre fuzzy and dark blue and make my fingers look short and round so every time i look down at my hands while wearing them i briefly think im gonzo

#my entire perception of the self shifts #like hmmm well it appears i am not made of skin but instead cotton or polyester...#if my eyes do not deceive me then it simply must be true....

Finished a bag I've made exactly to fit my e-reader because at home I only have huge bags or too tiny to bring the ereader without me freaking out. I've even made a pocket to put the ereader separated from everything else. I just hhhhh need to make a shoulder strap now

#made using a skein of dmc nova vita and all in spider stitch #this cotton was a pain in the ass to work because it's rigid as fuck even if I've used the hook a size larger thak what's written but it's #perfect for a bag #80% cotton and 20% polyester SEE I'M NOT ALWAYS A YARN SNOB I DO USE NOT NATURAL FIBERS WHEN IT MAKES SENSE #crochet

the fact that The Ossuary in Salem has almost no natural-fiber garments is a source of continual disappointment to me

nice staff! Gothic Victorian vibes! cool art and jewelry! really pretty clothes that are near-universally made of plastic

I weep

#personal #salem ma #I mean I don't blame the staff exactly- good luck finding anything that's not made of plastic or MAYBE cotton these days #for wholesaling too #once in a blue moon there will be linen. once in TWO blue moons- wool. what is this Silk of which you speak #and ALTERNATIVE clothes??? in Not Polyester or Spandex??? better learn to sew babey #(which I can and do. I'd just love to not have to for once)
