i'm aware i asked this a few months ago, but now i actually have materials to get started, so i'm asking again:

does anyone know how to sew? hand stitching, specifically. i now have really nice cotton (thank you, delight!!!) that we can make clothes with

right now, we have a bolt of white cotton fabric. if you want a different color, tell delight a happy memory, and she'll give us more fabric. but don't, like, dogpile her or anything. be nice, for fuck's sake

[Emily, who are you to talk about being nice...................]

if you're interested in sewing, meet me here: [and she attaches an image of a map with one of the shops circled]

Fine, whatever. [Emily's not in the mood to fight with her about Chris's nerd fauxtoure style. She just wants to start testing dyes.] You guys do your nerdy thing. I don't know when I'll have your dress done [given she hasn't even taken Ash's measurements] but I'll totally make it.

There's no rush. We've got a lot of dye testing to do before we can do much of anything, I think. [ and she's already going through a list in her head of plants that could possibly make a mint green. she'd like a dress in a minty color, for sure. ] Though, I could do the testing while you focus on, I don't know, leveling up your sewing skills?

'Leveling up'? [Really? That's cute, but Emily will never say it.] Anyway, yeah. Divide and conquer.

[Then, after a pause, she adds quietly,] Thanks, Ash.

[ Ashley smiles, smaller now, sweeter, genuine. If they'd never come to this place, Emily and Ashley's relationship would be nowhere near where it is now. There are times she finds this place worth coming to, and this is one of them. ]

You're welcome, Em. [ More than. ]
