kittydesadeRight. Um. Not getting distracted by the fight over whether or not you could totally make sustainable clothing in Ye Olden Days and whether or not modern clothing is a slave market thing and whether or not it's an injustice that we can't all make our own damn clothing (although in general the whole thing amuses me, as someone who can do most of the production parts herself if she had a TARDIS). As far as I can tell, having learned at various points how to spin, weave, dye, sew, knit, etc, there is just no goddamn way of making all of one's clothing that is both inexpensive and fits into one's general modern schedule unless one has access to industrial equipment. And you know what? There never was.
Anyway.
Only got down to halfway through page 21, in contrast with yesterday's massive success. On my list of words I've picked up just from commonality: careful and it's derivations thereof, people. I feel like I should keep track of this to remind myself that I'm not a horrible failure for only managing to read Russian at a kindergarten-first grade level.
Leather came in today. I may have gone a bit nuts on account of OMG can make ALL THE POUCHES now. (Note to self: leather bakes for 5-7 minutes at 300 degrees.) I got some brown that will make a nice color, some red for both Iron Man and Akira (what? Shut up.) and some blue that will make a nice Captain America (SHUT UP.) and I have some pebbly white stuff that I don't know what that's going to become. And. And and and. I may REALLY be going a bit nuts with this but you guys it is SO MUCH FUN. AUGH. And yes, I know I have to finish the first one. But I know all the steps now!
(And besides, I seriously and literally can always find shit to do with leather. Oh yes.)
Still need to do German and finish writings, but other than that I think I'm good on things to do for the day. Also still need to figure out what the fuck I'm making for dinner. But oh well. Probably teriyaki, that's quick and I still have a shitpot of Person of Interest to do. Probably while leather sewing.
