#it's all polyester....

[aikotos]

I like how they included the side zipper in the girl's uniform, i have always found it cute even tho we never get to see anyone with it open

(but for the 61k they're asking you for it, they better make it detailed lol)

#talk #why is the girl's uniform almost $100 more expensive than the boy one??? #wait the trousers and skirt aren't even included in the pricetag #you gotta buy them separately 💀 #I'm all for fair pricing & ethically made clothes #but man 30k for a PLASTIC shirt??? #They didn't even use cotton #it's all polyester.... #That's just greed 😔 #nvm its around 65% plastic; but its still too expensive imo #the whole set is 70k for the boys and 82k for the girls

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

Post surgery update, went out with friends for a couple hours. Looked cute, felt great, right up until my body decided it was too much and was time to go home.

Still glad I got out of the house. Won't be doing that again tomorrow.

Featuring the lovely Sarah, who did a lot of pushing me when I got tired. I usually don't let people push me but I also don't usually had surgery 5 days ago.

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

How different materials decompose | Permanent Style

Last week I wrote about the loopwheel knitter Aigat, one of the most specialised producers of loopwheel fabric - for sweatshirts, T-shirts etc - in Japan.  Something I wanted to save for a separate article was the display they had in their reception, where they’d decomposed different fabrics in their garden. The factory is set in attractive grounds, with water pouring down from the mountains behind. Establishing them, and running the factory along environmental lines, has been a passion of the founder. In the middle of the garden is a pleasant pond, but a few years ago the team filled the whole thing and parts of the garden with lengths of fabric, made up of different fibres (cotton, rayon, polyester). The idea was to have personal, physical experience of how much better natural fabrics - like their own - break down in the environment. […] The rayon was the first to go - a synthetic fabric, but of course made with regenerated natural cellulose, so it broke down easily. The cotton is only just visible, lying on the table at the bottom, but it broke down just a little slower than the rayon, mostly eaten away in the water after 50 days, and completely gone after 100. But the polyester kept going and going. After 200 days, in water or soil, it had shrunk a little but was otherwise fine. Perhaps scariest of all is the cotton/polyester mix. You might think this would be a little better than pure polyester, but it's pretty much the same, despite some of the cotton breaking down.

I wasn’t surprised at the results, but it was powerful seeing the process rather than just being told about it. It also made me appreciate rayon (or viscose) a little more. There are lots of things wrong with it of course, including the materials cut down to make it and the processes used, but it is certainly better than polyester and nylon in this respect. Other natural materials used in high-end menswear, such as wools and vegetable-tanned leathers, are also better in that way. We probably can't get into all the nuances of material sustainability here - and volume of consumption is generally the biggest issue - but on this one aspect the point is pretty compelling.

#textiles #i think we're all up on this but. holy shit at that eternal polyester…

Taking pictures for a monthly challenge going on over on the bird hellsite. Hence the armour set I don't usually wear...

#assassin's creed #assassin's creed valhalla #ac valhalla #valhalla #eivor #eivor varinsdóttir #eivor wolfkissed #eivor wolf kissed #virtual photography #photomode #video game #playstation #ps5 #*whispers* I don't usually wear this armour because I think Ubisoft somehow managed to make the fabric look like cheap printed polyester 😬 #don't know HOW they managed that #it doesn't look like a natural woven patterned fabric at all #and I can't get past it 🙃

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

easily the ugliest years in fashion of all time have to be the 2010s (post-recession stagnation, embracing Poser attitudes, the [beginning of the] end of Sovl -> business casual, athleisure...)

#not even the 70s polyester craze comes close #& as much as the 1980s make me feel nothing most of the time (SORRY but i have been coming around lately...) #like there was so much originality & experimentation Waht da eff were people doing in the 2010s other than Nothing (ugly) Artifice #by the late 2010s it was the start of the current culture of trying to rehash everything almost completely as it was yet worse -_- #like obviously there were cool people & their calves&followers but that will always be true like anywhere #i do think things are getting better Doe 🦌 lately ^_^_^_^_^ so yay !!! #it just pissed me off as a teenager caus i spent the latter end of that decade as one & everything was just so ugly all the time #which explains why people look to the past now more than ever before #& i know those two things i listed existed before in the 20th century IDC at least there was some variety then #& they looked more interesting than they would later on decades later obv through repetition you lose the Essence & such

finished my patchwork jacket 😁😁

#this was such a perseverence project i've never quilted anything so sewing the patches and quilting and sewing the pattern... omg.... #my goal is to be more sustainable with clothes shopping habits so now if i want something i have to make it vidkkskcjs #i want to remove as much polyester as possible so this is all cotton / linen / bamboo #i got some fabrics from a thrift store and the rest from my local sewing shop. very excited to sew more! i haven't sewn much in years! #salad dad #my art

Ik Ik we've already established that fast fashion has decreased the quality of clothing in every way imaginable from the fabric itself to the cut and construction of garments

But also we really don't have outfits with banging decorative embroidery on them anymore and that sucks

#ykwim??? #the extravagance of it all #the golden embroidery touches on a dark coloured garment #details on lapels #the everything about it!!!!!! #anyway dandies and old timey fantasy protags. yknow the vibe. i want the embroidered accents sooooo bad #i wanna be fancy in my everyday #i wanna be over the top ridiculous and fun #instead i am like. stuck with polyester blends and nothing fits right and it's BORING

That post about using cotton thread for garment making drives me up the wall. Cotton thread fucking sucks. It’s not durable at all for every day clothing use. The only projects that you should be using cotton thread for 100% of the time is for things that are going to be exposed to high heat (ex. microwave cozies and pot holders) because it’s crucial that you use something that won’t melt. If you’re making clothes or costumes just use polyester. It’s fine. You’ll be fine.

#by all means go forth and make clothes using cotton and linen and wool for fabric! #just don’t be surprised when seams start popping because you were too good for polyester thread! #I think cotton thread also has uses in quilting but that’s an entirely separate set of skills I do not have

just wanted to turn in and let you know slyvester polyester was my very first time buying an old furby from the Toys From The Past and making my own custom furby but after being silly and goofy and having so so much fun with it i have never felt more comfortable and confident and just it's so awesome to see everybody making such wonderful little creatures, thanks for letting me be silly in your inbox, it meant a lot to me and i'm very very glad people like mr polyester cause i love him very much and i'm honestly so so happy doing this i didn't know it would be so fulfilling and wholesome.

Wishes of love and happiness,

Jay and Sylvester Polyester

Jay, I have had a BLAST sharing your new son Sylvester with the world! I’ve been dearly wanting to make my own Furby creations but that won’t happen for a few more months at the earliest as I settle into my new living situation, so I got to experience that joy vicariously through you and Mr. Polyester!

I’m so glad you feel comfortable and confident. In my experience so far, the furblr world is very welcoming and encouraging, so it’s no surprise to me that your wonderful act of creation met a warm reception. Your son is very very handsome and makes a lot of people happy! You did an amazing job with him!

I hope your longson continues to bring you happiness and joy as he brings them to me and all our Furby friends on tumblr! Thank YOU for being silly in my inbox!
