does anyone here know how to sew?

newt and i think we can get supplies from hope to start making good clothes. you know, better than the rags in the shops here, which fyi are worse than department store clothes

i'm going to learn how to sew [maybe] too. fashion is my thing. if nothing else, i can tell anyone who cares what works and what doesn't

i'll basically be a fashion consultant. for free [now nobody can say emily wouldn't consider doing pro bono work]

anyway, let us know here if you're interested. we'll probably do it anyway, but it's not like we'll be hoarding whatever we make. at least with me around, you can be sure you'll get something that works for you

[ IT'S LIKE A BEACON CALL FOR BLUE ]

I've made or fixed up all the clothes I'm currently wearing.

If you can get supplies, I want to help. I was planning to try to make more anyway.

[Congrats, Blue, you've just been nominated for sewing teacher.]

good, you can get us started

i'm assuming you know how to deconstruct a garment and work off that to make something new?

[Emily does. In theory.]

[ampliat]

[ She's so down!! ]

Most things yeah. Haven't really run into anything so complicated I can't figure it out.

I don't think the clothes here are that high end, though.

[This is the beginning of a friendship right here.]

nothing here is complicated. at all. it's not even worthy of walmart

I know how. It was mostly just putting buttons back on and patching up things, but I'll help if I can.

[unfollowing]

good, then you can probably learn more after a while

i'll let everyone know when we're ready to start

Do you mean to make entirely new clothes or just patch up the ones from the stores into something more--fashionable?

[unfollowing]

both. either. neither plus a willingness to learn

preferably both or either

[Don't waste her time, basically.]

[smited]

That's not a very clear answer. The skills, while related, are likely much more involved for one than the other.

if you can do one or the other and are interested in working with good fabric and materials, then you can join in on our happy little sweatshop

if you can't but want to learn, there are people who can teach you

i'm not sure what about that isn't clear

[whichend]

[ arya cannot.....believe.....she is saying this. but it's for the greater good. she has to. ]

I can sew.

[unfollowing]

finally, someone who does. can you teach others how?

[Sry2say you're teaching everyone now, Arya.]

[whichend]

If they want me as a teacher, I suppose I can teach others.

My stitches are not neat, but they will hold.

[lilith 'wears the same torn-up outfit for like 6 years' is utterly bewildered by this entire text.]

[unfollowing]

[Oh honey open your eyes.]

so stop talking

[cashlin]

EXCUSE me?

You can totally dismantle that pink travesty that used to be one of my jackets.

[He'll donate it to the cause, because he definitely can't sew and probably shouldn't even try to learn. That just sounds like a perfect recipe for disaster.]

[Chris, honey, you weren't even considered as part of this endeavor. You'd wind up bleeding all over a table or sewing something to your arm.]

i don't know what to say to such an honor. you're so generous. what would hadriel do without you

[thechoiceisyours]

[Such truth.]

Aw, you'd all manage somehow, just with one less super badass nerd around.

I just know a little bit since I've been keeping Jack's clothes whole for a long time.

If my skills are enough...

(He's so proud of you Emily. You totally didn't make this at all unpleasant.)

Hey, so I was thinking. I know we were gonna ask Hope but after Delight's showed up, I think she'd be the better one to go to. It makes more sense, right?

(Especially since people seemed to take delight in the sort of clothes they wore. Hope could work but delight...He looks off screen for a moment and there's a bit of fussing around on his end. What in the hell is he doing? Who knows.)

Find any good teachers?

[See, she can be civil!]

Totally. We'll probably have better luck with Delight on shit like this.

[How lucky for them, actualky, that Delight was revived when she was.

...what is he doing, though.]

Some people know how to hand stitch, which is a start. I can pick up how to use a machine quick, though. I know how they work.

[...yeah no she has to ask.]

What are you doing over there? It better not be anything dirty.

[krangke]

(There is hope for you yet, Emily.)

All right, awesome. I'll ask her then. I was thinking about where we ought to do this. If you want, we can do it at my place or we could find an abandoned building and make it into a bit of a sewing place. Might work better.

(He's at least looking up every now and then, frowning to himself rather than at Emily.

Totally doing somethingsomething.)

Okay, cool. Maybe we can all chip in to help start getting clothes out there.

(He looks a little bit surprised when she does ask and then even gives her a flat look. And then because he's a snarky little shit at times, he nods very seriously.)

Completely dirty.

(Then proceeds to lift his hand up and show that it was in fact dirty. With charcoal. A moment later he lifts up a sketch pad. Laying on top was what looked like a pattern for a sweater.

There were question marks here and there and though it wasn't completely right, it was mostly right and it was clearly still a work in progress.)

I was looking at one of my shirts to try and understand how it might be put together. It seems pretty logical so I thought I'd try and draw it out.
