Autism

That's the catch for me too. I grab mine from Bobbie Lou but I can't touch the fabric and sometimes they come to me and even if they're marked they surprise me in texture or by weave. I used to grab a lot in the store pre-pandemic. But I really never felt anything I wanted to turn into a shirt. I want that buttery smooth stuff. I once had a rayon shirt that was lighter than a breeze that tore to shreds when my gal's skate belt ended up in the wash. I was thinking going that direction, because as it stands I wear only cotton. And it's okay, but it's pretty utilitarian. And that softness, oh that softness. That's the stuff dreams are made out of.

I am probably going to hand-sew for life. I've thought about it a handful of times. a) I get immense pleasure from the act of hand -> THING (as in whatever I created with my hands) but b) Idk. I mean so many women in my life all could sew that way. And did. My best bud of a hundred years (who I've seemingly lost touch with as of late maybe due to drugs...=/) could sew like a machine. He tried to give it a go with me but I just didn't follow. I just don't have that *thing* that drive for learning it anymore. I figured however something comes out, as long as I did it I'm happy. And I've sewn a ton of things for myself but I def am the queen of wabi-sabi.

Yooo, I didn't even think about underwear! That's brilliant! Also being a professional shortie, hemming is a lifesaving skill. I think I heard of read someone once say - what's the difference between celebrities and you if you bought the same shirt. That the celebrity gets all their clothing tailored. So if you can do your own work, you're probably out here looking great for it too.

Big thanks for the site. Eyeballs the pacos @_@!!!!! I am like a moth to the flame right now. Thanks again =)~
