Making clothes

Taking advantage of the last free time of the holiday, Guan Ruixue took the floral cloth she bought yesterday and went to the captain's house with Lin Xuan.

On the way, Guan Ruixue and Lin Xuan explained: "The captain's family has a sewing machine. Their little daughter Chen Qian has good sewing skills and can make clothes quickly, so some people in the village will ask her to help make clothes. If she doesn't pay, she can give her something else as a reward."

Lin Xuan nodded to show that she understood.

At the captain's house, Guan Ruixue entered the courtyard and called out: "Chen Qian, are you there?"

A tall girl came out of the house, estimated to be just over 1.7 meters tall, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and two long braids.

She glanced at the two of them, her eyes fixed on the irregular shirt on Lin Xuan, and asked excitedly: "Did you make this dress yourself or did you buy it in the mall?"

Lin Xuan: "I asked someone to make it."

Guan Ruixue looked proud: "The two pieces on Xuan Xuan's body are designed by her. They look good, right? I came to you today because Xuan Xuan designed a dress for me and I want you to help make it according to the drawing."

Chen Qian looked very interested: "Oh, where is the drawing?"

Lin Xuan took out the drawing from her bag and handed it to her.

After reading the drawing, Chen Qian's eyes lit up: "This style is also beautiful, and the collar is very distinctive. I happen to be free this afternoon. Give me an hour and I should be able to make your clothes. You guys follow me."

After that, she turned around and walked into the house.

Guan Ruixue and Lin Xuan followed her in. Her bedroom was a bit similar to the room in their youth education center, but the walls and floors were made of blue bricks, which looked solid and cleaner. In addition to the kang and the common cabinets, there was a sewing machine by the window.

Chen Qian measured Guan Ruixue's size and began to cut the cloth and sew according to the drawings. Lin Xuan designed a doll collar shirt for Guan Ruixue. The ruffled navy collar design looked playful and cute, and exuded a strong college style.

Guan Ruixue had nothing to do, so she asked Lin Xuan's opinion and simply stayed here to wait for Chen Qian to finish.

In the warm afternoon with sunshine, cicadas chirped outside the window. Guan Ruixue and Lin Xuan sat on the kang, Chen Qian sat in front of the sewing machine, the three of them chatted, the sun was shining, the breeze was not dry, the time was leisurely, and the mood was naturally very comfortable.

Chen Qian's hands were skillfully sewing, and she asked, "Lin Zhiqing, can I make a shirt similar to the one you're wearing?"

"Sure." Lin Xuan thought for a while, "In fact, in addition to the slanting lapels like mine, the lapels can also be made in other shapes, such as wavy shapes, and you can add other elements, such as ruffles, which are also very beautiful."

Chen Qian imagined the effect of doing so, and her eyes lit up, "Good idea, it turns out that the educated youth from the city have more ideas than me."

Guan Ruixue pouted, "This has nothing to do with the city, I don't have so many ideas for making clothes."

Lin Xuan curled her eyes, "My mother is in the art troupe, and the girls in it all love to play "You've seen so many different kinds of clothes, and naturally you've come up with more styles."
