punk spot and goth sarah stuff 🫰

i also made playlists of the kind of music i think they'd listen to :') you can listen to spot's here. most tracks fall under the hardcore subgenre, but there's also a good amount of ska and pop. generally has a chaotic, garage, and/or dated kind of sound, really wanted the kind of stuff that scratches my brain in a specific, rough way

there's also sarah's playlist, which i'm less confident about because i'm wayyy more immersed in punk subculture and music. but. i tried! some gothic rock, mostly punkabilly and gothabilly. i feel like she'd be into music that has that campy slasher feel, so that's the overall mood i was gunning for

Natural Dye | The Way Far Away from the Chemical Route

Natural dye is the change needed by us, to create an environment that is not exposed to chemicals created by the fashion industry.

Dyes, the shades used from centuries to date for imparting colors to the fabrics are formed in two ways, one is through nature and the other through chemicals; that is the natural and chemical dyes.

Natural dye is a way of giving back to the nature that it beautifully possesses and chemical dye at the same time is causing harm to the environment.

It’s known that the synthetic dye contains 72 chemicals individually, from which 30 cannot be removed, some of these chemicals are mercury, lead, chromium, copper, sodium chloride, and benzene, as explained by ‘SCIRP’ in https://www.scirp.org/Html/4-8301582_17027.htm

This dye restricts the toxin release from the body; the release is the most crucial step taken every day by our body to keep it healthy.

We are exposed to more chemicals with the increase in growth of the fashion industry and the shoppers, products created through the chemical process are causing more harm to the only habitable planet and the living creatures in it.

During this chemical process, a large amount of color does not bind to the fabric, hence releasing approximately 10-15% of coloured water into the environment. One of the major examples of this situation is the 2011 case that happened in North China when the Jian River turned red due to the dyes dumped from the local chemical plant.

As explained in the article by Trusted Clothes named ‘Impact of Dyes’.

Natural dye when created does not extract any harmful emissions to the environment, it reflects the essence of nature in our clothing without causing it any harm.

Due to the non-chemical ingredients used, natural dyeing helps the makers to be in good working conditions, without letting them be exposed to any harmful atmosphere. It doesn’t just limit to the makers but also to the wearers and buyers because along with quality enchantment, the natural dyes also contain medicinal properties, to protect us from various causes.

Naturally dyed products possess a great deed as it easily biodegrades after their life-cycle, unlike chemical dyes that don’t just fill the landfills with unwanted and harmful chemicals but at the same time also make it more difficult to destroy them.

Natural dye is a step towards more sustainable development, a practice that should be practiced by many.

We at Pahartah stand for naturally dyed products, which craft every step towards sustainable living.

No new crafting updates today because I pretty much was just cleaning and reorganizing, but look! New fabric shelves! Quilting fabric will be here, plushie fabric will be on another shelf, and miscellaneous other fabric-craft-related-or-adjacent supplies will be on the third set of shelves

ik having my own living space would provide me with both the physical space to craft (and just, yknow, exist and take up space) as well as the mental/emotional stability to invest in certain supplies and devote myself to a full organization system bc i know it wont be taken away/asked to move/complained about
