Ooooohhh I like it!

ALSO, he’s not a politician. He has been elected to no office. He worked some campaigns in college then dropped out to become a full time political violence agitator. Does he “deserve” to be shot? Who cares! He got shot. And it’s not wrong to keep in mind that, had it been you, he would not care.

And that’s the kindest explanation, the one where they’re heedless, wilfully stupid and self-centred. There are much less charitable ones than that.

No worries, I hope it helps! Xx

In terms of equipment, you can hand sew everything but it takes So Long! I'd recommend going on your local Freecycle and asking if anyone's got a sewing machine they're not using, and you can upgrade later if / when you've got a better idea of what you'll need for your sewing style

In this playlist she goes through making a block pattern from the start, and how to use it: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

For this tho, I'd advise watching now for inspo, but doing some of the simpler stuff Leena points towards first to build skills and confidence

Then, this might seem intimidating, but I really rate The Closet Historian most of what she makes is incredibly high concept, but her thesis that you only need a block pattern and a bit of knowledge about pattern manipulation is well worth getting your head around.

Okay! Leena Norms is a great place to start. She's only started sewing in the last couple years and has done very easy stuff, from the ground up. This playlist is a good intro: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Would you like some recommendations on how to start making your own clothes? It's probably easier than you think

(I mean, obvs there's no limit on how complex you can get, and only the goddesses among us make their own bras, but you can totes start with simple shit)

The mass manufacture of clothes is the biggest mistake of modernity. We used to have clothes made to measure and colours chosen to suit us. And now it's just so hard to even find someone to make your clothes, let alone afford it
