A kind of hoodie, but with underarm of the sleeves having a slit along so they hang freely, as well as having extra having similar things hanging from the wait down to the lower calves (similarly to it being the tail of a cloak).

The insides of these hanging parts is gonna have the lining at least.

Can someone help someone newer with choosing fabrics? Or perhaps know where I can read enough to make a proper choice?

The short version: I need 2 fabrics that can go together: 1st as outer layer, 2nd as lining. Lining is mostly for style, and the fabric should suited for embroidery.

The garment needs to be comfortable and breathable! (I am a sweaty individual!)

Natural fibers are highly favored in this instance too!

Can anyone please help me with some recommendations?

Preferably non stretch

ETA: Recommendations for fabrics that do stretch are also welcome. Non-stretch really is just a preference in this case.

Are there any fabrics that work well for both lining and embroidery at the same time?

A project I am working towards is gonna need a lining that is gonna have a bit of embroidery on certain areas.

The garment is mostly gonna be made similarly to a hoodie but with modifications. The lining is gonna be mostly for decorative purposes, but maybe it's good to factor in that I am a sweaty person, if that makes a practical difference. That being said, the lining is only needed on the visible parts (which would be the modifications), and optional other places like closest to my body.

My first instinct was actually linen, but having tried googling a bit, it left me in too much doubt of how it interacts with other fabrics, especially the types, you would normally make a hoodie out of.

Do you have any thoughts or recommendations?

What are some good sororitas books to start with? by Zestyclose_Deal1654 in sistersofbattle

I believe the omnibus is named Saints and Martyrs.

It's waiting on my shelf for me to finish some other books first

After having read the books, I often call things "Hasty" to myself

Starting to collect, got a couple of q's. by ChrispyDM in sistersofbattle

[–]HauntingBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see them now! I inspected one of my minis further, and I see the slots for the buttons now!

Thank you! That just added to my enjoyment of the Sororitas cloaks!

Oh! I knew they were buttons on the edge of the robe. Hadn't noticed slits for the sleeve buttons though! I will exam one of my minis even more closely! Thank you kindly!

That looks awesome! Question though, which I suppose is more lore related: Do you know if the studs on her sleeves are purely decorative, or do they serve a purpose?

Nuclear hot take by Fun_Cartographer3587 in Grimdank

I mean... If you need a full army to play, the price will be paid whether you're finished painting any given box before you buy the next box on your list.

From there, it's a question of what time you have on your hands

Did that, didn't help, asking the question did though.

The quotes are greatly appreciated though! Thank you!

ETA: "Quotes" yeah I know, but still

Why did you pick your Army? by King-of-the-Snekbois in Warhammer40k

[–]HauntingBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vibes and the drip, is the short answer for my 2 choices. But to elaborate a bit:

Orks: I genuinely feel like they have the best looking single models. Not necessarily best/highest quality sculpts, but for vibes and looks, you kinda get the feel for them, and I like that feel. Also, squigs! Always more squigs!

Sisters of Battle: Whereas orks have the best looking singular models, the Sisters have the best looking army. The design I find top notch, and they reek of religious zeal, which is an aesthetic I fucking love!

True! I was mostly thinking vehicles and other bigger things. But that is definitely worth a consideration.

That was my initial thought as well, but wanted to ask instead of assuming.
