So my sister wants to start sewing more, because

a. She’s 5′ 11″ and can never find pants long enough for her legs or shirts long enough for her arms.

b. She hates synthetic fibers as much as I do and it’s difficult to find natural fiber clothes that aren’t made of cotton

c. She’s a biologist and would physically fistfight microplastics if given half a chance

So her gift from mom and dad for her birthday was a sewing machine. Not a super expensive one but a good solid serviceable one.

And recently she asked “So where do I GET wool or linen and thread that isn’t polyester” and mom was like ‘go ask your sister’

And I, of course, crashed into the group text like “GET A PEN I HAVE WEBSITES FOR U” and honestly I’m thrilled about this

“Where did u get all this”

“Bets, u know I’m a 15th degree blackbelt of buying shit on the internet”

“oh yeah tru”

Op can may we inquire about the website list

Linen; https://www.graylinelinen.com/

cotton and Silk thread; https://redrockthreads.com/

Linen thread and wool fabric; https://burnleyandtrowbridge.com/ (they’ve got wool stuffs and worsted wool fabric for $15 a yard! I just got three yards of navy worsted wool I’m making a constellation winter skirt from)

More linen thread and wool; https://wmboothdraper.com/ (just ordered wool broadcloth to make a coat)

Silk fabric (THE best place to get silk lining fabrics and raw silk fabric):https://www.dharmatrading.com/

A varying assortment of wool and silk and cotton and even some leather, use coupon code  spring2020 for 50% off your full order, worked yesterday when I bought some stuff there; https://metrotextilesnyc.com/

Wool. You want wool coating for under $20 a yard? Sure you do. It’s here. Not a huge variety of colors, most are black or brown, but hey https://www.fashionfabricsclub.com/Catalog?refinementIds=4096748&Keyword=wool&pageSize=16

I don’t know a lot about sewing, but I want to make or have my mom make some linen pants & shirts for when I’m watering, because it gets to 105 here and we have mosquitos so I need to be covered. What type of linen do I buy? Also, linen pajama shorts, yes/no?

(I’ve been wearing my renfaire pants which are a linen mix, I think. But the frikking mosquitos that hide in the tomatoes get my arms)

Medium weight is what I’d go with.

And linen pajama shorts is a HARD yes.

Renaissance Fabrics is good for all sorts of things

Mood doesn’t specialize in natural fabrics but they do have basically every fabric ever made so

Dorr Mill Store has a great selection of wool fabric in all sorts of colors and patterns.

recapitulation:

meal ideas!

low energy (“do not ask me to do any prep work at all, so help me god”)

• mozzerella cheese wrapped in pepperoni (“pizza tacos”!)
• hummus and pretzels or naan (putting the naan in the microwave for like 10 seconds…heavenly)
• canned chili (with shredded cheese and sour cream if you have it! boom done!)
• instant miso soup (warm and lovely!)
• cheese and cured meat, olives, canned fish, crackers, dried fruit, or whatever easy “charcuterie” type items you like
• alternate bites of apple and spoonfulls of peanut butter (mixing honey or chocolate chips to the peanut butter is my favorite)
• a “deconstructed sandwich”: bites of lunch meat, pickles, cheese, cherry tomato, etc (I love roast beef and white cheddar for this)
• yogurt and granola or fruit

medium energy (“I’ll boil water but don’t ask me to chop shit”)

• boiled eggs and fresh veggies (put a little salt on top of the eggs for pizzaz!)
• buttered noodles (take it up to level 10 and add roasted garlic; takes 30 mins in an oven, only one swoop of the knife required)
• baked potato with toppings (I like cheese, bacon, broccoli, green onion, and sour cream)
• quesadilla (add some canned beans, cilantro, or avocado!)
• pot roast (requires a lot of time but not a lot of actual work. I love it with peas!)
• cuban sandwich (bread, swiss, pickle, mustard, ham… my favorite thing to panini-ify by far)
• pan-fried tofu with scallion sauce (this sauce goes well with everything and tofu is no exception)
• pancakes or waffles! (I love mine with jam)
• ham, pickle, and cream cheese roll-ups
• fried eggs (with toast and lots of butter…so comforting)
• fruit smoothie (bananas, frozen strawberries, yogurt…or whatever!)
• I hate salad but could write essays on this copycat olive garden salad (throw it in a bowl! chopping required if you use onion)
• spaghetti (controversial maybe but angel hair > spaghetti noodles)
• pasta salad (olives broccoli fresh mozerella… those little mini pepperonis… yeah)

high energy (“I don’t mind chopping some things up!”)

• stuffed shells with spinach
• chicken and roasted garlic (oh my god…..one of my all time favorites)
• beef tacos (I like mine with cilantro and onion, and when I’m feeling especially high energy I love a tomatillo salsa)
• chicken alfredo
• tom kha gai (a thai soup and my absolute favorite! you just need access to galangal)
• lasagna! (freezes well and then boom! low energy meal for later)
• pad thai! (not as hard as you’d think, as long as you have access to tamarind paste!)
• potstickers! (this is a lovely group activity if you want to cook with housemates!)
• rice and beans
• bang bang shrimp (ogughfhgfuh I love it. you can also do bang bang tofu!)
• minestrone soup (so many nice veggies!)
• fried rice (put whatever you have on hand in there! broccoli, peas, carrot, and beef is my favorite combo)
• broccoli cheddar soup
• spring rolls and peanut sauce
• skewers (such as beef, onion, zucchini, bell pepper… you don’t need a grill, oven works!)
• roasted turkey with garlic parmesean asparagus
• pork chop with mashed potatoes

other tips:

• whenever you think of a meal you’d like to make, take 3 seconds to google search it, take a screenshot of the image results, and put it in a “food ideas” folder. instant visual menu!
• if you’re on instagram, there are a bajillion different recipe accounts that post videos! a few of my favorites: jipsoon_kitchen, eatwitzo, cordandthekitchen, chungeats, tiffy.cooks, two_plaid_aprons

This is all great!

I got this website from a nutritionist and it’s become my absolute favorite way to find new recipes. The search filter options are fantastic! Sorting by method really helps me because I think that’s what makes the biggest difference in how much energy you need.

And here are some other ideas for low/medium energy meals:

• Cottage cheese with crackers, fruits and/or veggies.
• Guacamole with veggies and/or tortilla chips
• Chickpeas/garbanzo beans with tzatziki. You could add rice, lettuce/spinach, and/or pita.
• Buffalo cauliflower with yogurt dip. You can roast or microwave the cauliflower, top it with hot sauce, and add bleu cheese or shredded cheddar on top.

I laughed so fucking hard at this

My Saiyuki Photos got ruined since I haven’t opened the box/es containing all my merchs for more than 2years.

I’ve been assigned to other province & just got back a few weeks ago for vacation. So I decided to just cut it & save the unaffected portion. 🥹

I will laminate all of these before I return to work & bring it with me.
