We toss out over 80 pounds of textiles each year. These textiles are often made of plastic materials (polyester, nylon), made in unethical conditions, dyed with harsh dyes that often get put into the rivers, etc. Even a single cotton shirt releases carbon emissions and uses tons of water.
So the best thing to prevent the unsustainable growth of the fashion industry is to make sure that your clothing lasts as long as possible. To do so, mending clothing is a must. So here are some resources to help you learn how to do various things, such as sewing a button, to tailoring clothes, or even upcycling old clothing into new styles.
* How to sew on three different types of button
* How to hand sew on a patch on a torn pair of jeans
* How to sew up a hole in an old shirt
* How to sew a simple T-shirt
* How to upcycle old clothing into new clothing
* More upcycle and sewing techniques
* How to repair a damaged sock
* How to do an invisible stitch
* 3 different stitches to work with for different results
* How to make a T-shirt smaller so it fits you better
* How to make repairs to your shoes
These are just a few of the things that you can do in order to make sure that your clothing lasts for a long time. Nobody wants to keep buying new clothing, as it is expensive and wasteful.
So making alterations to your clothing, or fixing small holes hen you see them can be hugely beneficial to your wallet, to garment workers, and to the environment in the long term.
These are various character exploration pieces I’ve been working on lately. <3
I posted these on Instagram and lots of people have asked can they use these as references - the answer is yes but if you use them please remember to credit me and please no direct tracing.
Also please do not re-post my art, re-blogs are always appreciated though <3
so in my last post i said i stopped watching fate at episode 2 but i think i actually did watch all of season 1 with my mom. ill keep the general plot for episode 1 and 2 but i do have some changes.
they are all 18 (except Brandon who is 19 since his birthday is in that weird spot) they do dangerous stuff at Alfea so its a collage.
Tera goes by Roxy! her legal name is still Tera but she goes by Roxy, and instead of her story being the fat character i want her story to be about her becoming a fairy of animals not plants and her insecurities are more about disappointing her dad than her body. shes the type of gal to pick up a frog or lizard and collect animal bones and antlers she finds in the woods by Alfea. i will now be calling Tera, Roxy from now on.
i actually find the riven replacing Brandon thing really interesting so he can stay but they will be having a falling out so that riven can get some character development and so sky can get his BFF Brandon.
Bloom knows shes adopted, dad found her in a fire and adopts her, end of story. her parents are a fire fighter and florist like the original.
Brandon is Blooms cousin by her moms brother. he is trans and half Puerto Rican on his moms side. his mom works in marketing and his dad was a stay at home dad and worked from home. he also has been in cheer since he was 5. he has 3 younger siblings.
Tecna and Bloom have been friends since the 3rd grade, shes on the robotics team and didn't believe in magic until actually seeing it. both of her parents are dentists and she has an annoying younger brother.
Beatrix is stormy with a fake name
i don't remember who her lackey is all i remember how bi-phobic everyone was so hes gone/a background character with a healthy relationship
Aisha is cool i just miss the green
same with Musa accept she is bi and Roxy's brother is replaced with a long distance girlfriend she ultimately amicably breaks up with, she still cries though(cute group moment).
now Sky is interesting i think I'm going to keep him the same because i want his friendship with Brandon to help him. his dad is in the picture but hes still awful. him and Stella are still exes technically but they only dated to make his parents and her mom happy.
Stella, she is still sad but because her dad was assassinated literally last month. Stella's mom is still awful but her parents did divorce before her dads death and Stella became really close to her dad and grandma. Stella's mom is now queen regent since Stella is still in school. Stella's grandma has a magic induced dementia that is plot relevant from what people think was a failed assassination.
the burned are sort of staying the same but the answers to the mysteries are way different.
MORE TEACHERS!!! like Griselda and wizgiz albeit updated, not all will have a part to play but all are mentioned. fara dowling is now faragonda dowling because i have plans for domino. basically the fate teachers are there in addition to the originals.
i like the same school thing, so Faragonda is headmistress of the whole school, Griselda is headmistress of the fairy side and Saladin is headmaster of the specialists side.
Rosalind will still be around but I'm still trying to decide what to do with her, maybe something with the ancestral witches.
Cloud tower and Griffin will make an appearance but not as enemies to Alfea
Wow that's a lot of changes welp see you next time!
Toast Babies re-design
More info under cut
Not much has changed from my first post
Willow is still silly and can sleep anywhere but that’s from being basically nocturnal
Willow and Paul silver are still 5years apart but there’s only 1 year between Paul and Jolene Pearl
Paul Silver usually goes by Paul or Paul silver if you want to be fancy but Jolene Pearl almost exclusively goes by Pearl
Personality’s
Willow: her heads in the clouds, her favorite word is “what?”. Silly and likes to make jokes and will explain things using references to tv and video games. If Star Trek survived she would be a HUGE Star Trek fan. Made the poor decision of deciding to study chemistry and mechanical engineering. Is good at it but it made her already bad sleep schedule worse. Scared of spiders and most wildlife. Forever the shortest at 5’4 max. Closest with her dad.
Paul: LOVES NATURE. Is the most talkative of the three but can’t lie for shit and was always the first to crack under pressure. Now is a combination of Huey and Webby. Always an optimist and usually has the knowledge to back it up. Want to work in forestry in 12. Katniss is his troop leader. Always has a backpack(not pictured above) that somehow has everything you need no matter how strange. Love’s history and art as well. The tallest at 6’1 and is taller than Peeta. Closest with his mom
Pearl: is the only allistic of the three. Really sassy and always has a good comeback. Resting bitch face + her mother’s scowl. The most combative and angry, she is the bully’s bully. Loves talking about fashion and makeup with Effie but is actually closest to her pawpaw Haymitch. Is in ballet, does theatre, and opera. She has the best singing voice and the best at designing and frosting cakes. Gets to be 6’0 also taller than Peeta.
All three: have skill in art from painting with dad. Have at least 4 baking recipes memorized. Can shoot a bow and arrow but skill varies(Pearl is the best). Will make fun of each other mercilessly.
Hay this be a dumb question to anyone in fandom but I was wondering if you could tell me why do you enjoy creating or engaging in aus and fanfiction? My significant other doesn't understand why I enjoy these things and I don't have the words to explain why. My intent in gathering this information is not to convince him to like fandom but to understand why I like fandom or why others May enjoy fandom. Specifically when it comes to fanfiction and aus.
Hahahahaha!!!
perfect normal nuclear family
update: this is on INPRNT now. you could have this beautiful family in your house
even more ideas that should have gone into the school for good and evil book!
Morgan le Fay popping up in like the first book just randomly while Tedros is in class probably during a lesson she doesn't like but other times she was bored, to annoy the teacher and make sure no one learns anything that day
Chivalry teacher ”a Prince should always merry a Princess an-’
Morgana in the back row “BORING!!!!”
Teacher “Excuse me we ar-”
M pushing him out of the way “your excused. any way how about I teach them something that they actually need to know. Like tax evasion or arson.... OH! and how to start a violent uprising to over throw the current government and establish a dictatorship!”
Teacher “EVERS DONT START DICTATORSHIPS!!!!”
M “right I forgot you call them kings to make yourself feel better”
or what about Arthurs other knights like sir Dinadan the prankster and Asexual icon
Tedros crying about how Agatha is gone and how he will get revenge on Sophie for stealing her
Sir Dinadan who came to check on him “or hear me out I teach you to play the harp. op you are crying more, there there. whispers to Chadwick *I do not get why people cry over this stuff I mean how well did he actually know this girl, id get it if they were best friends or something but from what he tells me he only really knew her for like what a week? I mean he has been crying for three days.*”
ok so at this point there is a Titans A plot and a very small B plot. the A plot is about the whole team like a brother blood and hive storyline like in the animated tv show. and a Red Hood B plot that starts later in the season and its mostly about Dick, Jason and Tim.
so first change is that when Jason comes back he isn't himself the pit has changed him practically erasing any happy memories from his life so he is somewhere in-between a puppet and a rage filled mess. second change we have a time skip of around a year because i need batman to in six mouths swear off any new Robins, meet Tim drake(I'm keeping his comics origin), and then have Tim convince Bruce that he needs a Robin, and finale be Robin for around six months.
Titans are now in I think its Jump city like the animated tv show. and the team is tracking down brother blood, Blah blah blah you get the idea. the Red Hood emerges and he attacks Tim causing Bruce to send him to the Titans for his own safety. so the Red Hood stuff happens more in the background of the show with small updates from Bruce, Alfred, and Babs.
most of the crazy violent stuff that Red Hood does in the show is done by Blood and his group instead, including killing Hank. now we reach where the Red Hood become relevant, he’s had his under the red hood moment and is starting to calm down. we get scenes of him helping street kids, stopping crime, and there is even a sweet reunion between Saoirse and Jason.
Babs told Saoirse that Jason was alive as soon as she found out.
As Jason calms down Dick decides he needs to talk to Jason about attacking Tim. and there is some closure for Jason and the red hood character. this brings the Batfam to a more cameo/comedic area for the rest of the show.
for example the titans are breaking into a tech based villains lair being all serious and quiet. when suddenly spoiler(Steph) and robin(Tim) are there with a shopping cart and a list, Steph is absolutely roasting this villain and Tim is acting like a kid in a candy store with all of this stuff.
or
the Batfam hacking into the Titans coms so that Dick can settle a bet in the middle of a fight. The other titans are like what the hell but Dick just answers them and its like “no, Jay is right Tim, the Penguin didn't get plastic surgery, his nose is just like that.”, Jason ”HAHA! See I told you!”, Tim “Oh come on! Thanks a lot Dick!”.
Just the possibilities are endless
Uh oh! You are now a were-animal! This means you become a human-sized animal hybrid with uncontrollable bloodlust every night!

I made a new one. I hope you all like it!
I keep thinking of this au. Like in the last ever after when Merlin showed up I totally thought Morgan would at least get a mention but sadly no she did not. What’s worse is that thematically she fits perfectly in the story, she is everything Sophie is supposed to be. I really hate the strict line between Evers and Nevers like it just gets repetitive as the story goes on and forces characters to never learn and grow. Morgan le fey could be a character who originally is an Ever but turns into a Never before finally growing as a person and just is herself refusing either classification.
She even has a connection to Avalon and was the one who brought Arthur there when he died! Like that’s potential right there. I also think that the reason she didn’t like guenavire was because she was cheating on Arthur with Lancelot but I’m also pretty certain that after her redemption off screen she just stoped caring because to be honest she didn’t really like Arthur all that much to begin with.
The books mention lands outside the schools influence so I In this au I also have her get married and have children with the son of the sugar plum fairy. Which is a title rather than a single person.
alright so I just finished all six books in the school for good and evil and my brain in buzzing with au’s already. like I kind of wish that Morgan le Fay was in there. like it would be hilarious that the sister to the great king Arthur with how he is portrayed in the book has a this crazy prankster of a sister just running around and causing chaos. I know a lot of people see her as a evil sorceress but I like her as a loony tunes like villein or a trickster. witch makes her off screen redemption arc extremally funny. like in the original(not sge) green knight story the entire purpose that he is there is because Morgan thought if the green night got his head cut off Guinevere would see it and just die. like that is so stupid, but I love it!
