Making clothes at home - For Meteor

[Lunar Dance 666]

I’ll write as much as I can here without making this too long. It’s my belief that “we are what we wear”, and no body wants to walk around with ill fitting clothes that make them feel and look more like a slave than a healthy wonderful person.

A shirt's collar, cuffs and tie are symbols of slavery.

That might be a matter of culture. What one person might consider classy fashion, another considers slave fashion.

When I told my mom that I'm interested in earrings, she said to me not to get my ears pierced, as pierced ears are the mark of a slave. I was a bit shocked, since many women I know do have their ears pierced, and I never thought any less of them for it. But I noticed that, true to her word, she never got hers pierced. Now I chuckle when I see someone with very ornate and pretty earrings, as there's such a gap between how fashionable I think it looks and my mom's words on the topic.

Cultural norms like that differ from place to place, from person to person, and even over time. That said, I can see how a tie might be a symbol of slavery, considering how condescendingly you could grab someone by it. A shirt's cuffs and collar just look reserved, though.

They are not that common but you have earringa that clamp on your earlobe. No holes needed but they do hurt after wearing them for some time.

I actually got interested in earrings since I saw a set that looked really nice, with gemstones. But it was the type that requires piercings, and rather expensive at over a hundred euros. I looked around for cheaper ones with clamps, but the designs weren't quite as nice.

But now that I think about it, perhaps I could try making some myself, similar to the ones I saw back then that I liked, but with clamps instead? I was always good at crafting things, so perhaps I should just give it a try.

Since you mentioned it hurts to wear them for too long, I should probably save them for special occasions after I've made them.
Thank you for the suggestion!

Yes. Im not sure where to buy the holder for those clamped ones. There are those that have a meganism that sort of clamp or snap closed. But my grandmother has a pair that you have to screw tight.
The latter one might be less painful to wear because you can adjust the squeezing on your earlobe.

A button down shirt with a suit and tie, well pressed cuffs and collars have been symbols of authority and power of the wearer for a long time after the use of robes and cloaks fell out of favor. There's a reason wealthy politicians and government rulers wear them. One look at a man or woman in a suit and you know intuitively based on their appearance what their status and type of job in society is, and these kinds of people are rarely if ever on the low rung on the ladder.

The reason that robes and cloaks fell out of favor is because they didn't require as much maintenance.
Why do we find certain clothing more attractive than other clothing?
Anti-functional is attractive
We find something beautiful when the creator of the item had the opportunity to make the item functional but chose to make it anti-functional and restrictive. Only people with lots of resources can buy such items.
Why does a Porsche 911 look better than a pick up truck? Because the Porsche 911 is anti-functional despite having a higher price. You can transport very little stuff with it despite its sole function being a transport device.
Why do women wear heeled shoes? Long hair? Long nails? Clothes without pockets?
They are all anti-functional.
The signal that women send with such clothing is that they don't have to do heavy work and that they have plenty of time at their disposal.
Maintenance heavy clothing is attractive
For the same reason that anti-functional and restrictive clothing is attractive, maintenance heavy clothing sends a signal to others that you don't do heavy labor and that you have plenty of time (thus resources) at your disposal to maintain such clothing.

Politicians wear shirts and ties because they have to. They have to obey their masters. If they were truly powerful they wouldn't wear them.

Clothing is both a practical and self-expressive item that everyone wears. You can gather a huge file of information about a person from clothing alone, some things most don't care to look at. You want success? Don't dress like a hobo or a druggy, keep your appearance clean, and your chances sky-rocket compared to those who don't.

We wear what we wear because we want or need to for whatever reasons, we're lucky to not be forced into certain styles unlike previous ages. People might look at you funny for wearing something outside the norm, but they won't hang you for it. Depending on how one wants to express themselves some will opt for impractically more so because of apparent beauty. I don't see the issue there, people can choose what they want. Lacking knowledge doesn't help with making smart choices though. What most don't understand is that you can have beautiful clothing without compromising on practicality if people just knew what they were doing and didn't get hooked into the fast fashion shit.

The clothing that is most maintenance heavy is actually the clothes you wear against your skin, not the ones that are the most expensive looking or lavish. Sounds counter-intuitive huh? Because undergarments are constantly exposed to harsh washing, and wear and tear from rubbing against the skin and outer clothes. That is why undergarments were once made with waxed linen thread for the seams, and linen (sometimes cotton) fabric, because it needed to be strong enough to withstand the constant wear. The outer clothes however, you dry clean and keep safe in your closet until needed. How many people regularly wash their coats or most expensive dresses? How often are they worn and for what occasions? These clothes may appear to be maintenance heavy but they're actually the opposite. The most repairs and maintenance you'll ever do is for clothing your wear against the skin and wash frequently.

Back in the day, everything was maintenance heavy especially for the working class, because everything was done by hand and if your clothes started falling apart there wasn't a Target down the road to just grab a new shirt. You made your own clothes, your maintained them and washed them, and turned anything too worn down into something useful like rags or other garments. Nothing was wasted. Today you just wash it and if it falls apart or gets a rip, you buy a new one and cycle repeats.

Pockets have come and gone over the ages. The first "pockets" were tie-on's and satchels before they were sewn into the clothes to reduce theft. Now you see a reduction in pockets and increase in bags, go figure with what the average person carries with them these days and the price tag for merchants. Pockets are needed for anyone on the go and working, because we have personal items that we carry with us constantly. Some people choose clothing without pockets and replace it with a nice bag. What do you need pockets for at a dinner party when you're wearing an expensive pretty dress? You don't need to carry anything with you. Some styles of clothing make it difficult to incorporate pockets while keeping the clothing comfortable.

If you want to really look at impractical clothing look at jeans. No good for cold weather, horrible for the summer. Makes your butt and legs look great at the expense of pinching your nether regions and unable to sit comfortably. If they get wet, it takes forever to dry them.

The car example makes no sense. Each type of car has its pros and cons, different functions for different uses. A truck is great for anyone in the trade but inefficient for running errands around town. You don't use a tool for the wrong job just like you don't wear an expensive dress when working the fields.

These pants are awesome!!! (Don't know if you've seen this video yet though )

YES! IKR? I saw 'em the day the video came out. If I had the time and materials I'd totally want to make some and take a hike around town in them :lol: already head deep in a few running projects as is haha.

You heard about the lady making the peacock dress? She's dropping the project, apparently.

I heard she is not making or reconstructing the qorld because of slavery that happened apparently..
And then she wanted to butcher the idea alltogether. And shape it into something new. This is just me but I think she should just have continued to make and finish it as it has been in the original state..

I mean we live in the 21st century now. But apparently giving your past away to some "migrants" who only want to burn and raze it to the ground under the direction of Jews.. Is still more important? What. The. Heck.

I don't know if there were any updates since but I have not watched em.

Something like that, yeah. She got a lot of backlash once its history was uncovered but I suspect those who voiced those complaints were few and far compared to the ones that wanted to see the project finished judging by most of the comments. Which makes the whole thing more crazy. Funny that no one made a peep about the dress until they found out its “history” then suddenly it was some crime to recreate that beautiful clothing as its original form and glory.

I agree with you, honestly. She should’ve just kept going with it and finished it. If for no other reason other than to just finish what she started, and make do on her promise to make the dress for her followers. I mean, a 10+ year project just gone down the drain because a bunch of nut heads had an opinion about its history? The learning opportunity for the online sewing community and even those just curious about how a dress like that was made is too good to just toss away like that.

It had me thinking actually. The timing is hard to ignore in my eyes. The dress is decorated with peacock feathers, designed after a throne that was once part of the place they held the ball (in India). She gave credit back to the original embroiderers of the dress where before it wasn't even known. To me it was like she was giving a piece of culture back to the people who it was taken from by recreating the dress in a way that honored not the person who wore it and what happened, but the craftsman who made it and the beauty they put into that dress. Honoring the craft of gentiles. So it's interesting that she suddenly drops the project after poking into the recorded history right before she’s about to take the next step of getting the thing ready for the embroidery work. The peacock is a symbol of Father after all. Only a theory so take it with some salt but she could've been affected by curses for all we know, given the kind of message it could send to her followers if she finished the project.

I haven’t continued to watch her stuff even for the purpose of learning new techniques and info for sewing since she decided to stop the project so I don't know what updates she's done either. People dumping their dreams like that is infuriating.

If you dig a little you'll find that piercing the ears is an acupuncture practice and metallurgy that's been done for thousands of years. Wearing gem stones and different metals has an effect on the body and can be used to help with ailments and health problems. It's hard to find good information about it past new age crap but the practice is an old one. There's acupuncture points on the earlobe that get pierced, unfortunately I'm not knowledgeable enough on the subject to go into depth but it certainly is a fascinating subject to look into.

Your example of why a tie might be a symbol of slavery is kinda funny to me since you could say the same thing about any part of ones clothing or their body when you "grab it condescendingly". Anything can be pointed at and proclaim "oh that's a symbol of slavery!". It's a useless thing to go around doing. Reminds me of xtards going around pointing at random shit and saying "oh it's a sign from jewsus!". Some versions of xtianity forbid piercings and tattoos despite it being a slave cult, but that's exactly the point. Piercings and tattoos are expressions, to forbid it is to forbid expressing yourself as cults enforce "sameness" as does slavery.

It would be more accurate to say that a mark of slavery is being stripped of desire, emotion expression, freedom, material things, health, wealth, and true spirituality etc. When what makes us fundamentally human and powerful is taken from us, that's the mark of a slave. The symbol image of that is someone who has nothing, lives for nothing, and is nothing. Not cuffs and rings and whatever. Branding a person, marking their body with a number or symbol of ownership was sometimes used to mark slaves if people want to nick pick at anything.

Perhaps voicing our own opinions on the matter directly to her without saying we're from x and x .. would help her and perhaps also add a couple of subtle hints regarding the destruction of taking pride in ones own background.

Also did you see what morgan donner did with her hair? I freaked out about het shaving her head. What the fuck.

I think theyve been sending some curses their way because we mentioned them here.

Unlikely to do much at this point, I'm afraid. You can try with a letter or something, but I checked her channel and it seems she's probably already decided a new project. Probably better not to risk it. Whatever she's deciding to make now I can only hope it doesn't get flushed again by more idiots. That's the trap, really. If you worry your whole life about whether what you make is going to piss someone off, you'll never make anything.

Yeah I did, had me freaked too for a bit. Not something I expected since her style is more medieval-esque.

I've had the same thought, honestly. It makes sense to do so as a tactic to embed fear of talking about other people who are not under the protection of the Gods, least we want them to be hurt or whatever. It wouldn't have been much if they did send curses since while these people are influencers they're not high profile or anything of such, but given the lack of AoP and aura cleaning, they wouldn't have been able to fend off a basic curse anyway. Just more psychological warfare I guess if so.

I watched her video, the hairstyles were fascinating, and then she shaved her head :shock:

This could be true about mentioning people here. A certain Swedish vlogger has lost about half of her hair this past year. Those of you who watch her videos will have heard her mention it recently. For this past while I was like "is she losing her hair?" and then it was confirmed. She said it's due to stress.

This is just me wondering.. but is there not a way to break up the underlying anxiety thats spread around the world right now? Or would it only harm the future outcome if that was done?

Because its not just stress, if you don't have food you won't have enough nutrients to grow enough hair.

I haven't seen that video yet though jrvan tells me the same since he watched it as well.

I guess the best thing we can do is continue to do our part here and be careful of naming - though given the thread I made difficult not to since I used specific videos to aid in learning. It's sad sometimes watching withouts who are good people be subjected to whatever is thrown their way. It's give a lot of perspective of just how much your life improves by finding Father Satan and advancing.

Oh, congratulations btw!! I saw the HP's comment to you on the new announcement. I don't need to say it but you've well and truly earned it

I think part of her problem is not eating properly (as shown in some of her videos during mealtimes), and bleaching her hair too much. I wanted to post some other videos for women, of one youtuber who has amazing hair tips, but if she also started losing her hair it would be tragic! Hers is so long and healthy.

Thanks

Hmm, diet sure does impact a lot of things, everything from skin and hair health to immune system etc. It's moments like these I wish I'd had the sense to pursue further into nutritional health past basic studies, if only to broaden my knowledge.

Yeah that'd suck bad. There's a lot that can be said when someone takes the time to keep their body well cared for. You see it in animals too, the healthier the hair/fur the healthier the animal. It would be great to have some posts for women, I know many - myself included - would appreciate them. I'll admit, I'm prone to neglect when things get overwhelming. A couple years ago I went through a "shave it off" phase when my hair had suffered from bad times and curses.

I don't remember if I have already touched on this but recently I found an article on different seam finishes that I found pretty helpful when stuck on a personal project. They can be done by hand or on machine (the article shows examples for machine). If you want your seams to look crisp and flat like in the pictures use an iron - can also help to reduce the bulkiness of the seams. Small tip with a french seam, you can iron the little seam flap to lay sideways and that will help hold it in place somewhat and remain flat against the fabric.

Link includes the following:
Pinked seams (requires pinking shears)
Zig-zag seam stitch
Clean finish edge
French seam
Flat felled seam
Overlocked/serged finish

I have a few links for plushies if you're still interested. I'm not sure what kind of plushies/mascots you were after back then but hope these are interesting or useful at least.

Hello sister Tabby. Indeed, it has been a while since our previous conversation.

Thank you for taking your time and finding some tutorials for me. I am amazed that you actually remembered about it. I would like to find more time to devote to my new hobby, which is sewing, but surely someday, when I will have more free time I will try something from what you just showed me. The last tutorial with lamb is cute. As for sewing plushies from socks, in my case I already knew it beforehand, because I used to sew various things from socks , but as you can see, socks can be approached creatively in many ways.

The last thing I sewed was something similar to the one from the second tutorial, but with different character and show for my sister. It reminded me, that I had some qualms about doing something new to her, because the last time I sewed her snail, I had no life with her. Wherever I went, whenever I did something, it was just that damned snail everywhere. She gave me literally no peace with him. Then, when her craze phase passed with this snail, I sewed her some kind of magic girl.

(as for the glue, don't worry, I'm joining the club. I also had a brilliant experiment with glue :lol: )

I hope you doing good as well. Thank you again!

Hello sister Tabby. Indeed, it has been a while since our previous conversation.

Thank you for taking your time and finding some tutorials for me. I am amazed that you actually remembered about it. I would like to find more time to devote to my new hobby, which is sewing, but surely someday, when I will have more free time I will try something from what you just showed me. The last tutorial with lamb is cute. As for sewing plushies from socks, in my case I already knew it beforehand, because I used to sew various things from socks , but as you can see, socks can be approached creatively in many ways.

The last thing I sewed was something similar to the one from the second tutorial, but with different character and show for my sister. It reminded me, that I had some qualms about doing something new to her, because the last time I sewed her snail, I had no life with her. Wherever I went, whenever I did something, it was just that damned snail everywhere. She gave me literally no peace with him. Then, when her craze phase passed with this snail, I sewed her some kind of magic girl.

(as for the glue, don't worry, I'm joining the club. I also had a brilliant experiment with glue :lol: )

I hope you doing good as well. Thank you again!

No problem I kept forgetting and trying to remind myself to do it these past months, so I'm surprised I managed to get around to it when I did, lol.

I understand the feeling. I struggle to give attention to my sewing and make time for it. Just doing a little each day when you have a moment, even like 20 minutes, you'll see your project slowly form and take shape to completion even if the process isn't as speedy as you would like. Sometimes, if that's all the time you can spare, that's all the time you need to create something.

When I have a moment to sit for a bit, I like to do some hand sewing on my projects, and even though I get maybe half an arms length done in that time, it helps to not feel like I'm neglecting or unable to do my projects because of lacking time. Waiting for "when there's time" tends to end up never really starting or finishing projects.

It's only a suggestion, but give it a shot. See what you can do in the little moment you can spare in the day, and then tomorrow, do just a little more. Slow, but in the end, rewarding.

I've only made puppets from socks so I had no clue they could be plushies, haha. The story of your sister is sweet, I like hearing experiences like that.

Oh btw, off topic but your profile picture inspired me to find the painting that I currently have as my profile (I like the style and vibe of your profile picture).

Good luck in your sewing!

In my case, the problem with finding time for it (not only with sewing, but also with other activities) resulted from several factors. When I managed to find free time, I preferred to spend it on meditation etc. and especially cleaning, because this is something I pay special attention to. A few days ago I passed an important exam, so I will have more time to devote to myself, also to check more the forum, because I neglected it a bit. Among other things, I also started to continue my drawing, that I started centuries ago. I want to develop my drawing skills as well. Perhaps, stubbornly, there would be time to spend at least those five minutes on sewing, but now I have no excuses not to do it.
I hope you will find time for it too.

Oh, this is nice! I just noticed that we have a similar aesthetic. The author of the image I have on my avatar is Charles Edward Perugini. His wife was also a painter. And I've seen your painting somewhere at 666% before. Then I remembered the author was Valentine Cameron. And a little fact: he belonged to a group called Pre-Raphaelites, which also included Dante Rossetti, who is the author of the painting Lady Lilith. Now I'm not really sure, if the author of my avatar was not part of it either. I will check this later.

Aah, that makes sense. (Congrats on your exam!). Crafts really aren't the easiest thing to juggle with meditation and spells, etc, are they? I'm sure we'll get there, haha.

I had no idea, that's really cool! Thanks for sharing that little tid-bit with me . Now I want to go study more of these artists paintings.

Thank you for making this thread! I plan on picking up embroidery and knitting this and the next month.
