The Threads of the Butterfly's Stitch

The Threads of the Butterfly's Stitch follows 13-year-old Tessa from District 8, a district known for its textiles. She's grown up surrounded by fabrics, learning to weave and sew, but nothing prepares her for the brutal reality of the Hunger Games. When she's reaped, she holds onto the butterfly bracelet her older brother gave her as a token. A symbol of resilience and hope that she carries into the arena. Defying the capitol from the start as she sneaks in a needle and thread.

The arena itself is a twisted maze, inspired by Alice in Wonderland-full of rabbit holes, confusing paths, and deadly surprises. Tessa's resourcefulness, honed from years of crafting in her district, becomes her greatest strength as she uses her knot-tying and sewing skills to create traps, camouflage, and survival tools. The butterfly, a symbol of freedom and transformation, reminds her to keep going when hope seems lost.

In a world that wants her to break, Tessa learns that survival isn't just about strength-it's about creativity, endurance, and the will to keep going. As the Games unfold, she must navigate the chaos of the arena, where danger lurks at every corner, and ultimately face what it takes to survive the Capitol's cruel game.
