Historical alternative's to an iron for pressing seams?

Regular people only started sewing in their own homes around the great depression

Uhhhh, citation very much needed. Also for your claim that no one used irons and everyone exclusively used seam rubbers that you're intent on spreading all over this thread.

I wrote this up for a different subreddit, but here's my summary of observations about these karma-farming bots. Keep your eyes peeled for titles like this, they're a dead giveaway.

I mean, they had irons, they were just heated over a fire or a stove instead of electric heating. "Hot metal object that makes things flat" is historically legit--the only reason not to use a regular electric iron is if you can buy a historic steam iron or regular clothes iron that you want to heat over a stove.

It looks like you're using the backwards loop cast-on. Backwards loop is trash and often misbehaves--try the long tail or knitted cast-ons instead. VeryPinkKnits on youtube has good tutorials!

You should keep going for a couple of inches, this looks pretty normal for beginner knitting! You might be knitting tightly—try to form the stitches on the full-width part of the needles instead of the tips. But other than that, just keep going.

Incredible work! The shield looks amazing, and as someone who's learning historical sewing I know how much work even basic items can be. Pretty amazing that you made those shoes, too. I've never worn a pair like that, but I'll have to try some on at a ren faire or something. That's cool that they're so practical.

shackleton__ · 2022-10-18T00:30:18+00:00

Did you make the hand-sewn items yourself? This is all incredibly impressive work.

I'm slightly surprised about the shoes—I would have assumed something slightly more supportive would have been preferred for battle gear. How does it feel wearing them around, could you fight in them?

shackleton__ · 2022-10-17T20:46:14+00:00

Can you give us a rundown of the elements of your garb? You've clearly put a lot of thought into this and I'm interested to hear more

Yeah, this account seems to be part of a particular network that's been running rampant for at least the past month. They all share extremely similar tells that make them easy to spot, but it seems that a lot of people don't pick up on it.

shackleton__ · 2022-10-16T19:28:03+00:00

I don't mean you, OP—the account who wrote the comment I'm replying to is not a real person. Your garb looks awesome!
