tapestry takes forever on rough gross fabric, let alone fine embroidery on silk, so you'd be paying thousands if you didn't do it yourself or for swapsies with a pal. needle felting a motif onto a thick pashmina would work if you lined it afterwards. needle felting is silly easy, if little kids weren't a complete hazard near anything sharp it would be the art step-up from finger painting

I have an "excellent mind for detail" (am a sperg, also this is not true because i do not care about other people's names unless that person is also a species in which case i will be able to name every variety of grass they eat in north america) so I assure you my mythology comics would be very accurate but also very boring, like the vulgate cycle which is the most tedious poo poo ever written and i read it in like two days because it was such fascinating tedious poo poo

Well now I want another coat. I left my long thrifted trench in Indiana and I don't know where it ended up. I have a peacoat that I swim in right now, the only thing that fits normally is a brocade fit n flare coat meant to go over circle skirts. It's gorgeous but I feel silly throwing it over pajama pants and a hoodie to run to the pharmacy or whatever.

i feel nervous giving blanket advice about doing laundry because fabric is WEIRD and so are dyes

basically the only blanket advice i can give is pay $4 to dryclean your blankets if you can afford it, handwash any dark jersey prints you own and dry flat even if the label says machine washable because the print WILL fade quick if you machine wash it, and anything that says 'dry clean only' which isn't suede or leather can be handwashed. dry all your handwashed poo poo flat on a towel after you roll it up in another towel and step on it for a while

also if you have workshirts and wash them yourself which you should, don't bother ironing them if you've left them in the dryer or taken them off the line and let them sit and get creased because bitch you will never get those creases out by ironing them. take a clean sock, wet it, wring it out, and put it in the dyer with three or four shirts, then after five minutes take em out and iron them

YOU ARE SO WELCOME

pissing on dark stuff is fine. pissing on anything is fine, really, unless you piss on it a lot or if you have lots of blood in your wee. wee helps to set dyes, too! so, when you piss yourself, don't feel too bad. you haven't hurt your clothes, unless they're white silk. in which case, youre probably rich enough to buy another pair so who gives a poo poo

OH DONT WEAR INDIGO JEANS AND PISS YOUR PANTS because that will stain. soak your indigo jeans in salt water

tons of lawsuits over copyright infringement from other brands, they steal art for printed stuff, and when they get caught they don't care they'd rather pay the bucks for the suit rather than pay an artist/designer a licensing fee. and ofc they run sweat shops but that's no surprise.

they're p much the ebaumsworld of the clothing industry
