People of tumblr and ex supporters / fans of a certain band that rhymes with doveboy, what did you do with your merch? Specifically shirts, I'm unsure of what to do with mine

So we had a huge get together for the trans people at my workplace last weekend on the land I take care of and live on. Some of us even met up first thing in the morning to go clamming for the event!

All in all it was a wonderful event and I had a wonderful time hosting everyone. And everyone seemed to have a wonderful time 💙

People I need advice. I have lots of old shirts and other clothes and I don't want to just throw them away.
I usually just cut them up and make them into rags, but you can't do that with every piece of clothing and I have random burst of motivation to do something so any ideas?
Rn I can only saw by hand, but I'm pretty decent at it... I think...

i just had to repair my headphones with two blobs of double sided tape 0_0
the inner headphone jack got itself unsoldered, and, because i don't have a soldering iron (or know how to use one), i had to squeeze it in place with a bunch of tape!
Tumblr media
and it fucking worked!
also two random pieces fell out while i was fumbling around in there, but it still works and i wouldn't worry about it 0_0
there was also a disconnected red wire doing something... i swear i didn't break it 🤐

I've seen several sites mention this, it's real.
Do not make the MISTAKE of thinking you need to put your side forward. The Guardian is transphobic as fuck, and will twist your words. DO NOT ENGAGE.
By the way, this is in the aftermath of the Cass Report, and the goal will be to make Trans DIY something that needs to be regulated or stamped out. DO NOT ENGAGE.

Y’all, my little nephew, who’s nickname is “Cabbage,” wanted a “punk jacket,” like Uncle Kade’s. (EMPHASIS ON LITTLE, be nice)
So, I asked him what kind of patches he wanted on it, and this is what we came up with. Just need to sew the patches down and line the vest. I can’t wait to finish it and send it to him.

Things I wish I had read in "beginner" sewing tutorials/people had told me before I started getting into sewing
You have to hem *everything* eventually. Hemming isn't optional. (If you don't hem your cloth, it will start to fray. There are exceptions to this, like felt, but most cloth will.)
The type of cloth you choose for your project matters very much. Your clothing won't "fall right" if it's not the kind of stretchy/heavy/stiff as the one the tutorial assumes you will use.
Some types of cloth are very chill about fraying, some are very much not. Linen doesn't really give a fuck as long as you don't, like, throw it into the washing machine unhemmed (see below), whereas brocade yearns for entropy so, so much.
On that note: if you get new cloth: 1. hem its borders (or use a ripple stitch) 2. throw it in the washing machine on the setting that you plan to wash it going forward 3. iron it. You'll regret it, if you don't do it. If you don't hem, it'll thread. If you don't wash beforehand, the finished piece might warp in the first wash. If you don't iron it, it won't be nice and flat and all of your measuring and sewing will be off.
Sewing's first virtue is diligence, followed closely by patience. Measure three times before cutting. Check the symmetry every once in a while. If you can't concentrate anymore, stop. Yes, even if you're almost done.
The order in which you sew your garment's parts matters very much. Stick to the plan, but think ahead.
You'll probably be fine if you sew something on wrong - you can undo it with a seam ripper (get a seam ripper, they're cheap!)
You can use chalk to draw and write on the cloth.
Pick something made out of rectangles for your first project.
I recommend making something out of linen as a beginner project. It's nearly indestructible, barely threads and folds very neatly.
Collars are going to suck.
The sewing machine can't hurt you (probably). There is a guard for a reason and while the needle is very scary at first, if you do it right, your hands will be away from it at least 5 cm at any given time. Also the spoils of learning machine sewing are not to be underestimated. You will be SO fast.
I believe that's all - feel free to add unto it.
