@sinituulia @valhalla we do not tolerate polyester thread in this house
still wanna know where to get a good linen thread that isn't unreasonably expensive.

@sinituulia @valhalla I mean that at least in theory sounds like we could do it? we've not got experience sharpening scissors really though, only knives a little bit

@valhalla @sinituulia wonder if that's something we could fix

@valhalla @sinituulia we have scissors that our grandma used to use. neither pair cuts as well as we'd like though

@sinituulia mhmm also AuDHD. we've considered it before but we already struggle with learning to do simple repair stuff right and we've been burned before purchasing stuff only to then not use it anymore. this would require a lot more than the needles and pins we have. at least we got the sewing needles our grandma used from her after she couldn't use them anymore. better than the cheap ones you find at most stores. and her thimble fits us okay. importantly it would require a bit of space too and we are very limited on that.

@sinituulia are we really gonna have to invest a bunch of money and time into learning to make our own clothing to have good quality clothes? I doubt that our ADHD is gonna allow it

@sinituulia it definitely wasn't cheap

@sinituulia sad, we love linen. but we wore through some linen pants really fucking fast and while it's a fairly light fabric I do think its probably not the best quality or it would have held up longer. really have to see if we can patch them but don't have any suitable fabric or thread
