"Right, welcome back," Eliot said at the top of the class. He was very pleased to have discovered this morning that whatever had stolen his shirts hadn't counted jackets, so he wasn't topless in front of the students. "So you'll maybe be glad to hear that we're movin' into the modern world proper with this class today." He poked a 1950s Singer with

Attempt to adapt Eliot's tutorial to whatever moddable machine you ended up with.

At least the general western "sewing machine" paradigm had remained pretty constant in the last century. . . .

Were people wearing less than usual today? Peridot hardly noticed. After all, she didn't wear shirts at all, so it wasn't like she'd had any difficulty preparing for class today. She was at least vaguely interested in today's class, though. Not because of the sewing, but entirely because of the machines being used to do so. Ooo.

Ada...did not have a shirt. Yes, she had a half-dozen dresses she could have pulled on instead, but with the beads coming down she'd realized what was going on, and started laughing.

One of her classes had time-traveled to Carnival before break. She recognized those beads.

So in honor of the holiday she was wearing a mini-skirt and corset (which the island had decided didn't count as a shirt, apparently), and as many beads as she'd been able to catch before retreating and bringing along her umbrella to protect from the downpour of plastic.

For her part, she was going to listen to Mr. Eliot with half an ear, and go over the instructions for the teddy bear. She had some little cousins that would love a toy that hadn't been owned by a few dozen people first.

Hyacinthe had no shirt. Hyacinthe needed no shirt.

Hyacinthe was, however, really excited to get into something that made sewing less a pain than doing it by hand. And he would have loved to get his hands on a hand-cranked one. That, he could bring home to Terre D'Ange!

Kaylin was very unhappily wrapped in about 400 yards of sheet and blanket. And she was not letting go of anything so that none of her marks would show - though some of them on her arms or neck might be exposed once in a while - so she would not be sewing.
