It's flax harvesting time~ the most wonderful time of the year. Lucked into this crop as I didn't grow it myself this year, made a deal that I would share the process with the junior apprentice program at the living history museum near me in exchange for getting to play with it. So excited to be able to do this again!

have u ever wanted to handmake a mamianqun (ma mian skirt)? boy do i have the sheet for you!

u can open this in excel (ugh), google sheets (eurgh) or better yet, libreoffice calc. Instructions on how to make your own ma mian skirt, some pictures, and all of the math done for you. Intermediate level sewing (or beginner with audacity). I've done mine all handsewn but you can use a machine if you want.

This is a great thing to make if you have an extra bedsheet/comforter cover/etc lying around. You /will/ need a lot of fabric.

This pattern uses only rectangles: no curves or weird shapes.

I haven't tested this on other body shapes besides my own, but since all of the measurements are input by the user I'm pretty sure it will work for a very large range of sizes

Time for handsewing (i'm relatively fast tho) is about 10 to 12 hours. Time for cutting and pressing and measuring is about 3 to 5 hours.

contact me if u have any questions/notice typos/have issues with the sheet

ok here you go bye

Learned there's two different kinds of madder root today while dyeing some clothes and spare mordanted fabric.

I have rubia cordifolia and rubia tinctorum, the latter of which is the one capable of making really rich purples. No wonder I haven't had a successful purple yet! The more you knowww

Didn't get a perfect layer of color but the handful of rubia tinctorum was apparently enough

I forget if I showed the beautiful Tyrian purple that they made in the synthesis chemistry lab that I collaborated with at the art museum. They’ve been synthesizing mostly blue pigments and dyes from throughout history. This was my first time seeing Tyrian purple in person and I was so excited!

Historically it was made from murex snails and was hugely expensive and used by royalty, but chemically it’s similar to indigo so the class was able to create it in the lab without snails.
