KrisWas sick as a dog for a couple of days.

Sini TuuliaI have had a rough morning (mostly a procession of slightly annoying things but just one after the other) so to cope I am making another white linen shirt, because why not another white linen shirt. Just a basic one, too!<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sewing</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Linen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linen</a>

Sini TuuliaHave been slowly sewing the two new linen shifts, and boy was it time to... On the left, the nice new shift with its hand finishing in progress. On the right, a poor old one, fresh from the wash so I can repurpose the still good fabric, absolutely falling apart!<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sewing</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HandSewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HandSewing</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Linen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linen</a>

Malcolm StielowDay 39 of avoiding a design project I'm really stuck on: I made myself a new hat. It's mostly hand sewn and fully lined, so that should give you some reference on how bad my creative block is right now.

Sini TuuliaA little bit earlier today, this second hand shirt took a couple more steps towards being more patch than shirt... But it's a good shirt! It's amazing how much more worn the right sleeve is, what do I even do to cause it??<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/VisibleMending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VisibleMending</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Linen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linen</a>

In fact, a quarter acre per person might have been planted to take care of clothing and other <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/textile" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#textile</a> needs for the year. When choosing a variety of flax to plant for linen, make sure the botanical name is Linum usitatissimum. The variety I’ve found to be available is Marilyn."If you are just starting out and don’t know if you really want to get into this yet, you can get enough material to work with from just a small space in your garden. In that case, you may want to buy seed by the packet, if it is available. If you want to have enough to really play with, plant a pound of seeds. I bought seed through The Heirloom Seed Project at the Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Their one pound package of seeds indicates it is enough to plant 400 square feet. My main source of information about growing flax to linen has been the book Linen: From Flax Seed to Woven Cloth by Linda Heinrich. That book suggests that one pound of seed is enough to plant 300 square feet." <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NaturalFibers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NaturalFibers</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MakeClothesThatLast" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MakeClothesThatLast</a> Read more: <a href="https://www.motherearthnews.com/organic-gardening/grow-flax-for-linen-in-your-garden-zbcz1703" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.motherearthnews.com/organic-gardening/grow-flax-for-linen-in-your-garden-zbcz1703</a>

hiding from plagues ☣️♿One of the only things I managed to make before I got sick. Hand sewn 18th century shirt.
