This is not an ideal temperature for my body to be rejecting clothing. Gotta get that sewing done fast.

What are you sewing?

[greenstorm]

Everything, really. My spreadsheet includes:

-long underwear/leggings type pants with, some in fabric that can only be worn under things, others in polar fleece or hardface fleece that can be used as outerwear, honestly in a couple different levels of ease so they can be layered but my body doesn't really take constriction or zero ease so
-some of sew liberated's arenite pants that can be layered over one or two of the above, or worn on their own
-some shirts, tank, short, and long sleeve, same as the leggings in terms of slight variance so they can be layered
-some sweater/sweatshirt dresses/minidresses
-a schwack of easily washable fingerless gloves and socks with the scraps
-a bunch of neck/head tubes, likewise with scraps
-a couple vests with big pockets that can hold nails or eggs or whatever and go on over anything including winter jackets

Mm. Layering is good.

I turned an old dress-made-of-t-shirts into basically a half-slip, and it's making a difference in terms of how late in the year I can wear my black skirt-made-from-a-bed-sheet.

What is hard-face fleece?

[greenstorm]

Hard-face fleece is fleecey on one side, like standard polar fleece or the sherpa/clumpy thicker stuff, and smooth/water repellant/hopefully cat-fur-and-straw repellant on the other. The hard face also tends to resist abrasion more than standard fleece. So basically it's more useful in my context and can be used as an outer layer; I spend time picking straw out of all my long underwear, sweaters, and various fleece otherwise.

Skirt layers are so great. Especially if you have a heating vent to stand over. I keep teetering on the idea of making up some farm skirts, but the edges would probably get muddier than I want to deal with. The lack of constriction on my legs/thighs comes with such a significant reduction in Weird Pain though.

The only issue I have with layering is static. You're dry enough to have the same issue there, do you have any tricks and tips?

Static-Guard, tbh.
And wearing a lot of cotton (which doesn't put an end to the static, but does seem to cut down on the electric shocks).

I hope the hard fleece keeps the straw and other bits and pieces out of the rest of your clothes
