Of course, it's also easy to get into a mindset of fast fashion even when sewing. As I pointed out yesterday, I often get into the mindset of "fast sewing:" trying to make more and more projects, and practically turning my sewing room into a sweat shop. And many pattern companies seem to be gravitating more to "one-hour" projects. Are we really in such a hurry? You'll notice that her niece also slipped into something more comfortable, which included jammies, a binky, and her froggy.) I used to think of suits as interview-only attire. And really, hardly even that. Considering that I work in a very artsy environment, it's actually a liability to look too corporate. But ever since seeing the gorgeous 40's-inspired spread in the September issue of Vogue, I've been dreaming of suits in colors like cherry red and plum. (And look! There's a cape up there too!) Open your heart, let this better Snuggie fill it with eternal life. Once you see how the Snuggie can warm your heart, you will live forever, even after you drink the Snuggie juice that releases you from your body to be one with the Eternal Snuggie, the creator of all.
Nuggie” is a slang term that refers to a playful punch or tap on someone’s nose. It’s important to note that this term is informal and should not be used in formal writing or professional settings.But, at the heart of Hanna's point is the idea that when you sew something, you cherish it and honor it. When you buy it at H&M, it's more likely to end up as a cleaning rag (or in a landfill) by the next season. I've been sewing up a storm on my friend's wedding reception dress, and excellent progress has been made. I've never sewn a garment for someone other than myself, and I was delighted, yet a bit apprehensive at first. More than anything, I was daunted by the pressure. But I've found myself quite surprised by how much I've enjoyed the process. Anyway, the slanket, as ridiculous, laughable and undignified as it is, has piqued my interest. Will I make one? You betcha -- 'cause there's no way I'm actually going to pay retail for a couple of yards of fleece with sleeves. Good lord, what is happening to me? This pattern is totally not my usual style and yet . . . I WANT it. It caught my eye on Etsy early yesterday, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I think it's fantastic, especially with the Annie Hall styling on the left. (Fun fact: this pattern was released 5 years before the movie was.)
And yet, I am the demographic that these retailers are targeting. Female, urban, professional, 30 years old, childless, interested in fashion, and with a certain amount of "disposable" income. (Problem is, I would much rather dispose of my income in a fabric store.) The attitude among my peers seems to be that anything cute and cheap is a great thing. But, as many people have pointed out, this kind of fast fashion isn't harmless. Its victims are the people who make the clothes for less than a living wage, as well as the environment. I'll admit that I'm a bit reluctant to jump on this bandwagon. First of all, I don't have piles of old men's dress shirts lying around! Secondly, I'm always adding to my fabric stash, which, I know, is just needless consumption of its own. But I hope that by not always purchasing from mass retailers, I'm at least doing a little bit of good. It is also important to consider the source of a meme. If the creator of the meme has a questionable reputation, you should think twice about sharing it. Additionally, some memes may contain offensive language or images that could be considered inappropriate. If you are not sure about the content, it is best to refrain from sharing it. Today, the Snuggie meme has become a classic example of how something as seemingly innocuous as a wearable blanket can become an overnight sensation. It has also become one of the most recognizable memes in recent memory — proving that no matter what your product is, you never know when it might just go viral!It is important to be aware of these nuances in language use, as using the wrong word can lead to confusion and misunderstandings. Additionally, paying attention to grammar and language use in general can greatly improve communication skills and enhance one’s ability to convey ideas effectively. Key Takeaways: It's interesting to note, though, that suit skirts from the 40s were generally a-line rather than slim. It was in the early 50's that skirts started nipping in at the knee. Perhaps the Vogue images above are really just our modern perception of the 40's: the slim-skirted femme fatale and all that.
It’s not just millennials who are sharing Snuggie memes either – many older generations have caught on to this trend too! People of all ages can enjoy these funny images, making them an easy way for anyone to share a laugh with friends and family. I vaguely remember big headline news about Snuggies several months ago, in *business sections* of the paper, but I can't remember exactly, wish I did because at the time I remember it felt like a huge punchline: they were the only consumer item making great profits or something last December. Something surreal and wildly Only-In-America (and apparently Australia, lol) slash sign-of-the-apocolypse. But also sign, with economy in freefall, of America's collective desire to escape the outside world, crawl into a cocoon in front of the boob tube and go into hibernation until it all blows over. The Snuggie meme is a classic example of internet virality. It all started with the launch of the Snuggie blanket in 2008. The blanket was marketed as a wearable blanket that allowed you to move freely while keeping you warm and comfortable. The Snuggie was an instant hit, and it wasn’t long before it became a popular internet meme.
Sorry!
Explains the message the snuggie expresses is all you need in life is a best friend, wine, junk food, gossip, the latest tv show, and the snuggie. I've very much enjoyed our recent discussions looking at the recent popularity of sewing and vintage patterns, but I realize that some of my proposals may be a stretch in some ways. I suppose I'm always one to analyze things to death. (That's what being a PhD program dropout will get you! Actually, that's all it will get you.) I'm not content to just wear a certain style, I want to know the history of it, and the social implications of wearing it. Exhausting, isn't it? But if I really examine my motivations for sewing (and sewing vintage patterns in particular), the answer is quite easy. I want my clothes to be unique. Or, more accurately, I want to make my clothes exactly as I envision them, not as a mass retailer envisions them. After last week's discussion about green sewing and refashioning, I've been thinking a lot about salvaging materials. And I realized that one of the things that has always bothered me about sewing is all the leftover scraps.
Great Deal
