I’m traveling with my parents next month, and for part of the trip there’s a dress code at dinner.

    @ryan @tikaro depending on where you live², IKEA duvet cover¹ are an excellent source for fabric that is cheap, easy to work with, often has nice prints, is usually 100% cotton (or at most rayon / lyocell) and is actually usable for things that will get worn (mostly tops, or very lightweight bottoms) and/or used.And speaking of cotton, one think that will make the difference in the way your clothing will look is pressing all seams as you sew them: you don't need a fancy iron, but an iron is necessary. And cotton and other natural fibers (plus rayon) will work with you under the iron, synthetics will work against you, and will cause you lots of suffering.¹ other than the very cheapest ones, that tend to be quite lightweight and transparent, and the fancy ones, that are probably good for everything listed above, but not cheap.² some countries apparently have shops with cheap cotton. I don't live on one of those :D

    @janwuppertal @vulgalour There are also some early or specialized sewing machines that you operate by standing at the end, and the machine sews right to left, like right-handed hand stitching. Check out this antique fur sewing machine with rotating feeds and a left hand crank: https://c8.alamy.com/comp/J3GW8P/the-fur-sewing-machine-dating-from-around-1900-was-designed-specifically-J3GW8P.jpg

    @laumapret @sinituulia not a real dremel, a dremel-like tool (bought for 25 € :) ), which arount here gets used mostly to cut various things for creative or repair purposes (PCBs, tubes and strips of plastic and metal, etc.)but if you can get access to a shared real dremel that's even better!
