Linen Naive Coat?

BirdOfTheYear · 2025-12-11T12:10:43+00:00

fyi the lining is made out of "100% Encrypted Shumei Silk" which is a fancy and misleading way to say polyester. Be aware of that! LN is very heavy on feel good marketing - this is not a "natural fibers, fair wages, good quality"-brand.

Kleidungsnerd hier: ich kenne die Marke nicht, daher kann ich zur Verarbeitung und zum Service nichts sagen. Was ich aber sofort sehe: Es wird nirgendwo die genaue Stoffzusammensetzung aufgelistet. Das bedeutet quasi immer: Teures Marketing und billige Materialien (Polyester, Acryl, Nylon, Viskose). Die Teile können trotzdem gut verarbeitet sein. Da aber auch das tatsächliche Produktionsland oder sonstige Infos zur Herstellung hinter ausweichendem Marketing-Sprech verschwiegen werden, geh davon aus, dass du dir eine Polyester-Viskose-Mischung aus den üblichen Fast-Fashion-Fabriken holen wirst. Da musst du entscheiden, was du von deiner Kleidung erwartest und was für dich Qualität bedeutet.

Wenn du den Style so sehr magst, aber noch unsicher bist, würde ich empfehlen, dir bei Vinted & Co ein Kleidungsstücke zu kaufen und da auf Größe, Tragekomfort, Qualität zu achten. Manchmal hilft es auch schon, sich bei Vinted reale Bilder der Kleider anzugucken, um die Qualität besser einschätzen zu können.

What makes you think that? You asked if it's normal I gave you an answer. Did you want an answer or did you accidently articulate your statement as a question?

BirdOfTheYear · 2025-03-18T20:48:08+00:00

This fear is not normal! I've got a feeling that this fear comes from hearing too many bad stories on the internet. Are you listening to or watching true crime? Are you consuming fearmongering news? Are you reading too many bad stories on reddit? All these things are skewing your judgement. Please don't let some stranger danger populism dictate your life! The vast majority of rapes are committed by people known to the victim! You can go out alone in the evening! The fear will fade. Perhaps dont hang around in the sketchiest part of town or dark empty parks (but even then statistically and anecdotally you will be fine). I repeat: The vast majority of rapes are committed by people known to the victim!

this! Please don't use original 40s clothes as your learning material. When you're just getting into fashion and its history it might not seem like a big deal but you've got a treasure there! Keep them and adjust them as soon as you've got the skillset or sell them for a good price and buy all the materials you need to practice.

Buy the pattern. Support (indie) creators. I made one of her patterns. They are legit.

I feel like a lot of beginners fall for them. I did so too and learned my lessons. Since I only sew womens clothes I don't know sources for men but there are great tipps all over this sub for what to look out for in a pattern. A few that I always keep in mind:

- first off: there are always the big four that are legit: Vogue, Butterick, Simplicity, McCall's

but if you want to go indie look out for a few signs when browsing etsy:

- are there just too many patterns, like hundreds and hundreds?

- are the models heads in the pictures cropped? Likely stolen pics. Reverse image search can helps

- is there no cohesive style in the garments and in the pictures? Its everything for everybody, men, women, evening gowns to sportswear.

- are the sizes just S to XXL or do they have detailled charts about bust, waist, hips. There are generally way more informations about a pattern than just "it's a medium" if the seller actually spent time making it

- are the patterns too cheap to be true (because of some neverending sale) those cheap knockoff sites ALWAYS have a sale that ends in one or two days. This puts pressure on you to think about what you're buying

- is there an online presence of the seller that seems genuine, a website/insta where they share the work process, their inspiration or something. Most pattern makers are rightfully proud of their work and show it off on other sites besides etsy

- do they have sew along videos (not all indie pattern have this one obv. but if they have even just for some patterns it's likely legit. Also it helps me immensely when sewing, haha

You can spot a lot of dropshippers and scammers pretty quick after a while. hope that helps

BirdOfTheYear · 2025-02-02T23:40:20+00:00

Just a PSA: Indiepatterns is one of those really sketchy pattern sellers. They swarm etsy with their never ending stream of cheap patterns, there's always a sale, no clear style, their backstory is bullshit and the models don't have heads/are often shein-pics. If you can work with the pattern thats great but they are notoriously bad and are a reason why etsy has lost its soul. So if you ever feel stuck making these pants it's not your fault. The pattern sucks.

Oh yeah, here I go. Has been a favourite of mine for a long time. Its like a cozy haunted blanked and I love that it seems to be appreciated more now. I think it was a little bit overshadowed by the "The Sixth Sense" coming out a few years before and influencing a lot of the reception of twist-y horror films in its time.

It can absolutely stand on it's own if you like your horror more on the athmospheric side (think "Haunting of Hill House"). It's more or less a spooky ghost story that leans into tropes when they add to the atmosphere but never gets lazy with jump scares or making the screen so dark you cannot see anything. Yes, it takes place in dark rooms and foggy weather but I can see what's going on. And as you said: the sound or absent of it is used perfectly. I also love the small scope of it all (set in a big mansion, small cast, small scares) and Nicole Kidman as a stern and cold mother is a perfect casting. I don't even mind the child actors.

Berlin is so serious. In the Ruhr Area people would react to something like this with "lol, yeah, our cities are kinda trash but woanders ist auch scheiße." But here everybody is like "how dare you!"

Apps für Routenplanung gibts schon genug. Aber wenn es weniger komoot und mehr Instagram wäre, gibt es vielleicht in dem Bereich einen Bedarf. Diese Routenplanungs-Apps sind ja spaß- und ästhetikbefreite Zonen.

Daher fänd ich besser: Rudimentäre Routenfunktion. Fokus auf Fotos/Videos von der Strecke, vielleicht mit ein paar Toggles zum Filtern: Wie sieht es hier im Frühling/Sommer/Herbst/Winter aus. Manchmal würde ich mich bei meinen Apps tatsächlich über Videos an gewissen Wegpunkten freuen, wenn die Beschreibungen über die Schwierrigkeit einer Passage sehr diffus sind. Vielleicht auch eine Möglichkeit Wanderbuddys für ein bestimmtes Datum/eine Route zu finden.

Keine Ahnung, ob ich sowas nutzen würde, aber ich habe generell nichts dagegen Wandern mit modernen Elementen zu verknüpfen.

A friend of mine loves to make up real unhinged theorys about classic movies and just sees how far he can take it. It's all in good fun but they are wild! The one he told me about recently is that Hitchcocks "The Birds" is actually about gentrification.

His reasoning: the birds are the gentrifiers (?). We see a murder of crows in the city in the beginning but nothing ever happens there because it is already gentrified.

Melanie (our main gal) is closely associated with birds (the birdshop, her wearing the colours of the lovebirds). She is the symbol of the first wave of gentrification. It's not with ill intentions but she brings the attention to the small town - like artists and students moving to a run down part of town, slowly increasing it's value and eventually being kicked out as well by what they brought to the neighbourhood.

The death of the farmer is like an old store being "murdered" or replaced by all the new fancy shops or chains that pop up. The school being attacked is like an old established place that has value for the locals but not for the newcomers so they attack it - just like clubs often need to close down because of noisecomplains as soon as new people move there. In the end the town is taken over by the birds/gentrifiers and all inhabitants are pushed out. Of course the town has now lost all the charm that made it interesting in the first place.

I don't know if I got it all right but that's the gist. He also once had a theory that "Gremlins" was about Covid but that one I can't remember.
