Resources for Mending Clothes

We toss out over 80 pounds of textiles each year. These textiles are often made of plastic materials (polyester, nylon), made in unethical conditions, dyed with harsh dyes that often get put into the rivers, etc. Even a single cotton shirt releases carbon emissions and uses tons of water. 

So the best thing to prevent the unsustainable growth of the fashion industry is to make sure that your clothing lasts as long as possible. To do so, mending clothing is a must. So here are some resources to help you learn how to do various things, such as sewing a button, to tailoring clothes, or even upcycling old clothing into new styles. 

* How to sew on three different types of button

* How to hand sew on a patch on a torn pair of jeans

* How to sew up a hole in an old shirt

* How to sew a simple T-shirt

* How to upcycle old clothing into new clothing

* More upcycle and sewing techniques

* How to repair a damaged sock

* How to do an invisible stitch

* 3 different stitches to work with for different results

* How to make a T-shirt smaller so it fits you better

* How to make repairs to your shoes

These are just a few of the things that you can do in order to make sure that your clothing lasts for a long time. Nobody wants to keep buying new clothing, as it is expensive and wasteful. 

So making alterations to your clothing, or fixing small holes hen you see them can be hugely beneficial to your wallet, to garment workers, and to the environment in the long term.

Molly

An update to my last post about my percy jackson au(still working on it) but i changed some things about Molly. 

Her age is now 6-7 not 10-11

she is a child of neptune

scottish

those are pretty much all of the changes to her character.

YAY!!! I didn’t do my homework last night and instead cleaned up a oc design!!

So here she is!! she is part of my sge au and more world building!

The Concert Hall

the Sugar Plum Fairy is the ceremonial king or queen of the sugar kingdom along with being the conductor and protector of the concert hall. as conductor they make and maintain the stages as well as conducting special performances

the concert hall is an institution similar to the school in the books.

but instead of the storian it holds the maestro, it controls the concert hall and many smaller stages, halls, and amphitheaters across the land.

the maestro is in its oldest form a oval music box with silver details and two small figures of two girls dancing inside.

the maestro records both art and history, it collects and records any stage play, song, or performance that is performed on any of its stages along with telling history threw any medium on stage. it will then replay or performer an act when requested.

ballet is especially popular in the sugar kingdom due to the nutcracker telling the story of the sugar plum fairy before Alexzander named Antonietta and Clara

while it is possible for sugar plum fairy's to be related its not that common. Antonietta is the mother of Alexzander and she was 8 months pregnant with him during the ballet, she had a extremely difficult pregnancy even before the rat king that completely destroyed all her energy, that's how she got captured.

the Sugar plum fairy is chosen by the maestro 10 years before the currents retirement and crowned the Sugar plum prince, princess, or hair. when chosen they are no younger than 15 and no older than 20

Sugar Plum Princess Anastasia Le Fey!!

(Ooooh fancy text!)

Anastasia is the eldest child of Morgan Le Fey and the current sugar plum fairy Alexzander

she has 8 siblings

Anastasia's full name and title is The Sugar Plum Princess Anastasia Gwendalynn Le Fey-Tchaikovsky III (what a mouthful) but she goes by Nastya

she is 3 days older than Tedros and will never let him forget it when she used to visit camalot as a child.

when visiting camalot her mother would leave her with Tedros and his nanny when messing with Arthur. she also would dress her daughter is simple play clothes instead of the major finery of the sugar kingdoms court. this has the unintended consequence of Tedros not knowing his cousin is a princess and just thinks she live in whatever run down location he thinks Morgan lives is.

i love making Tedros a dumbass

she has a baton that works like a magic wand

very intelligent and great at school but bad with people

her two best friends are the daughter of the queen of hearts and the daughter of the black swan and white swan (yes i'm making them lesbians)

she is close with her aunt Clara

i want more lesbians the nutcracker is a lady and Clara is useless around her, the nutcracker is an idiot and has low self esteem so she was as clueless as Percy Jackson

at first glance she could be a guy but she is defiantly a girl everyone gets it wrong even gods apparently(the maestro)

they are sitting and pondering

I just finished all of the Stormlight archive(except edgedancer and waiting for WAT) and I am obsessed! I do wish we got more info about the Nightwatcher as even the small glimpse of her we get are pure gold. She reminds me of the feyfolk from Ireland, Scotland, and whales in the best most unhinged way. I do however hope a couple things I want to happen with her.

A little context: I head cannon the three bondsmith Spren as storm father is the eldest brother and a brooding teenager 15 or 16, the Nightwatcher is like an insane 12 year old(think of a older lilo mixed with Matilda), and the sibling is the baby of the family who is like 6 or 7

Her bondsmith should be a singer.

If it’s someone we know than Vai, I know she’s young but I feel like together her and the night watcher could be schoolyard besties as in my head cannon they would be functional the same age, with Kaladin describing Vai as 7 in oathbringer it’s safe to assume with the singers faster aging she would be around 10 post time skip.

Also it could provide some character moments for kaladin and Vai, with her being an orphan and separated from everyone she knew Vai could blame kaladin for leaving and inadvertently causing her to be left alone, should ultimately come to terms with the fact that kaladin probably would have been killed by the fused and that he was not responsible for the way the fused punished Vai’s people, it could end with her forgiving him in some small way and perhaps swearing an ideal because of it.

Kaladin would also have to atone for his part, it could also tie into Kaladin’s therapy arch by helping Vai with her grief and perhaps helping her find a new family with the listeners or even becoming her new family.

and it connects to the themes of the cycle of revenge and Vai and kaladin would go through an arch of breaking the beginnings of a cycle of revenge in order to prepare for the bigger cycles that are connected to the conflict.

Another compelling option is someone we don’t know, maybe a family member of a known singer or listener like if Rlain had a sibling or one of Venli’s new listeners. A Iriali or Riran singer might be fun

I am also cautious about how the other two bondsmith surges work

as the surge Adhesion is only of Honor and the nightwatcher is of cultivation, the Nightwatcher could have a cultivation only version or substitute surge with it perhaps focusing on physical bonds, but I don’t know how that would work

And this is just a personal preference the stone theme we see from our only bondsmith just feels wrong

Overall the Nightwatcher’s bondsmith should help them avoid making a new oath pact. As reforging the oath pact just perpetuates the cycle of abuse and revenge that causes this war. And the books are ultimately about breaking that cycle and growing beyond them. A singer would make perfect sense for the Nightwatcher in this regard.

Small side tangent would be Vai’s mother being found/introduced, it also could be cool if she became a wind runner and her story could show how the elites of society pit the lower classes against each other and how the common human are not the singer’s enemies but those who enslaved and abused them (in this example the rich lighteyes). Also she could be extremely protective over Vai(the reason she wouldn’t be a will shaper) and perhaps her third or fourth ideal is about her balancing her job of protecting while avoiding controlling the people she wants to protect. Something like “I will strive to protect without force or control” or “I will protect all who need it, even if some have hurt me”. I will add more in another post

Another character in my PJO Celtic gods au, Aisling

Ok so I need to vent about something here. I've been playing assassin's Creed: Odyssey and I have two complaints that make me angry.

1) WHY ARE THERE CACTI IN ANCIENT GREECE!!!! Cacti are a plant that almost exclusively grows in the Americas and at the time of ancient Greece why do the islands have cacti.

2) I don't really know how to feel about how they portray Persephone and Hades relationship. So I have stoped calling Persephone, Persephone and have instead been calling her bitch

3) I want more quest lines with Cassandra / alexiosis family. It's like you finish the main quest line then they're just lieutenants. That's it. I want family drama! I want Cassandra alexios and stentor to have a awesome sibling bonding adventure! I feel like the main character and Nikolaos need a better story together! AND WORT OF ALL WAS MYRRINE she was a badass mom and now that the story is over she is shoved to the side never to be seen again.

In summary my love floral culture has stained one of my favorite games. Persephone is a bitch and the game really likes to remind you that she is a prisoner and that Hades is the worst husband ever. And finally the family is an underutilized part of the game and we need some side quests with them they would be so much fun.

PJO Celtic gods au intro

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to actually post this au I have been working on it for a long time and probably has the most content out of anything I make. So let begin!

There are Celtic gods, the gods from Ireland, Great Britain, and Gaul. In cannon we know there are not many left and more are fading away. Now the au, due to all the fading the gods have all come to gather under there Irish name the Tuatha De Dahann or children of the Danu, and to the gods that apply they go as either there Irish, welsh, Scottish, or very rarely there name from gaul. For example Lugh is the Irish name but Lugus is the Gaulish name(think Roman and Greek). For simplicity the gods basically fuse there other names together and go by one name now, so the Gaulish god once known as Lugus now goes by Lugh and is the same person as the Irish god Lugh. The gods that appear in the au are Lugh, the Morrigan, Dian Cecht, Cailleach, Aengus Og, Brigd, Manannan Mac Lir, and Arawn.

Not all of these gods are major figures in Celtic mythology and the loss of many major gods is the reason the gods now raise and are very close to and protective of there Demi-god children. Celtic Demi-gods also have not had to deal with monsters like other Demi-gods due to the close relationships between the people and magical creatures. But although they are safer they have to deal with the responsibilities of the faded and older Demi-gods work as or even fully become minor gods. They used to have a school for the Demi-gods and even mortal children to teach them life skills in the mortal world, magic, and other skills, sadly due to there not being enough students it was shut down in 1902 and a small after school and summer day program is used instead that focuses on teaching magic and self defense. The school and program are run by fairies employed by the gods that are also in charge of the seasons but if you have ever seen Ireland and Great Britain they don’t change much.

I introduced the fairies before in the post about porcupine so I won’t go over them here.

Unlike the greek gods who moved to the US the Celtic gods stayed in Ireland and Great Britain since they’re connected to the Irish people and the island itself not western culture. Some Demi-gods do live in the US like Aisling who lives in Modesto California(my hometown because I find it funny) since her ma works in viticulture.

Aisling is one of the main characters in this au along with her family, her dad is the god Arawn. Now in the mythology Arawn has a wife but nothing is known about her so I made her a actual character, Fiona in known as ma to there children, and Mary is known as mum. Arawn and Fiona have been married for centuries and in the late 17 hundreds or early 18 hundreds they met Mary a 40 year old childless widow and all three fell in love and got married turning Mary into a minor goddess and second queen of Annwn. Together they have 4 sons Patrick, Sean, Gillian, and Bart and 1 daughter Aisling. Patrick is the oldest at 24, the twins Sean and Gillian are 22, Bart is 20, and the youngest Aisling is 16.
