Re: Fabric Question

Mother of Seven, that's a brilliant idea!

One of the advantages of a design like this

is that on particularly heavy days, if it gets stained, you can simply replace the stained section, and not destroy the whole skirt.

Re: Fabric Question

If you're locked in your menstrual hut and running low on thread, one trick you can do is created a frayed edge instead of a rolled hem, just by pulling out some threads.



Just don't go crazy with this, or you'll end up with a "hippie-dippy" (or even American Indian) look.

Re: Fabric Question

Mother of Seven, that's a brilliant idea!

Thank you for the advice, Mitza! It's been far too long since I've used my sewing machine.

@Naomi: It certainly does! If only someone would teach the fabric makers and dealers that God can't stand mixed fabrics. There has to be someone in the world who sells fabric that is pleasing to God. It would probably be really expensive and hard to find, though.

Re: Fabric Question

Sisters,

Doesn't this just show the immensity of God's love for us? Think: Without His Holy Word, how else would we know that the mixing of fabrics is so offensive to our LORD? I pity so many in the world that ignore this fundamental truth and pray God's mercies upon them. If more women looked for Godly husbands, men that will teach their wives about the Word of God, I believe we'd have less uppity wives trying to dominate the world. I've added this to my prayer list.

Oh, what a God we serve. Hallelujah!

Re: Fabric Question

Those are lovely fabrics, however I must mention that if sewing on a machine the tension is difficult to regulate using jute thread and the heathen retailer will try to foist cotton or even polyester thread onto you. Another point worth raising is that sackcloth made from hemp is becoming popular, especially from France. However hemp fibre is quite coarse and most woven fabric is a hemp/cotton blebd, or hemp and flax mixed 55% hemp, which directly flouts God's Just Law and mocks His plan for Salvation.

Such garments are therefore an abomination in His sight and abominations merit the harsher penalties. Not quite at the genocide-plus-all-livestock level, but quite severe personallly. That's how much God loves us. He's warned us, but the fabric dealers won't care that their yarns lead to perdition, so it's always worth checking first.

Re: Fabric Question

So this is your standard burlap dress:



But, you can make it more attractive if you're handy with the sewing machine (and which good Godly woman isn't?):


For instance, imagine this skirt, but quite a bit longer:





teamed with a tunic top or something like this (without the hood):





A burlap dress (add sleeves of course). Note how the top on the first one is cut on the bias, which makes it better fitting and far more interesting



I have rolls of burlap in my menstral shack. And I experiment with new designs to make later in cottons and wools. If it works with burlap, you know it's going to work with other fabrics.

Re: Fabric Question

I see that there is some "agreement" about using burlap for punishment or during the unclean times. I find that suggestion to be an appealing one and an appropriate reminder of my status as a woman, but I do have one question, though. I know that burlap is used for sacks, so is it the same as, or at least similar to, sackcloth? I don't want to accidentally get the two of them confused if they are indeed different.

I asked my husband and he said that sackcloth and burlap are the same.

For one thing, you'll find neither in one of those ridiculous fabric stores run by unGodly men and even women.

Re: Fabric Question

All you really need is organic cotton from empty flour sacks.
It can be pieced together as needed.
Perhaps burlap for your unclean times, as a reminder of your imperfection.

Re: Fabric Question

Thank you for the advice! Thankfully, I haven't bought any fabric yet because I was trying to find some that was affordable. I will admit that I was a little worried about the purity of certain kinds of fabric, so it was very nice to get some feedback on how different kinds are made.

I will definitely look for cotton from the places that Mitza suggested.

Thanks again for the advice! I greatly appreciate it!

Re: Fabric Question

Do you think Welsh cloth would be suitable for nightgowns?

Too coarse, I think.

[MitzaLizalor]

Re: Fabric Question

New Zealand wool? Why would you bother? They stole their sheep from Australia, and sodomise them. Australia produces beautiful wool from Australian sheep that are not sodomised.

The majority of Australian wool is for spinning worsted yarns. There is a considerable underproduction of wool for carpet. New Zealand produces more of that and perhaps you've hit upon the reason why. Thanks for the suggestion - although there are plenty of weirdos hanging around here too, but less percentage-wise than in Wales. Do you think Welsh cloth would be suitable for nightgowns?

Re: Fabric Question

Sorry to bust your bubble, but ...

"Almost 100% of Australia’s cotton crop is grown with transgenic varieties."

http://cottonaustralia.com.au/cotton...-biotechnology

Satan inspired, abominable different kind bestiality spawned, poisonous cotton. All of it.

Be sure not to use cotton down under. Plenty of sheep in NZ, go for wool.

PRAISE THE LORD!

That's not the high quality stuff though, and they are recently imported varieties from about 10 years ago.

Yes, virtually everything I spin is wool and I have a nice merino cross fleece here to do next week. A lot of the low-end cotton is sent to India and I do tend to overlook that stuff. Thank you for reminding me.

The earliest crops were harvested during the 1790's and those strains have acclimatised well. They have continued to be grown and are either hand spun or exported in small batches.

However neither Australian nor French garments are very modest and should be avoided, especially by the younger contributors here.

Re: Fabric Question

Australian cotton is high quality and is supplied to France for spinning and weaving and although we are not their only source they do insist on the highest grade from any supplier..
