Home Ec, Tuesday, Period 1

[vdistinctive]

The work tables were covered in a thick layer of old, threadbare, worn out clothes today, including shirts, socks, and hats, all full of variously sized holes. There were needles and thread in every color to match the clothes, and it all smelled faintly like mothballs. Eliot scowled at it all

Listen to the lecture

Oh god, he's pulling out the dad jokes. He's not even a father.

The unbridled glee on Peridot's face as she looked at the selection of clothing before her was unmistakable. Appearance modifiers! Appearance modifiers that she could keep.

The moment she was given the go-ahead, she was going to dive on that pile to dig around for something that was her.

Make a few small repairs

Patch something, hem something, and darn something. Holey clothes are all moddable.

Ada had dug through the pile until she'd found a few things in her size, and was already working away, playing with thread colors and contrasting patch fabrics.

Finding something to hem would be the easy part. Peridot was short, after all. everything was practically too long on her. She found herself a black pair of children's jeans and a green denim jacket, and set to work patching and mending and hemming and darning to her little heart's content.

Clothes! Clothes for her! These would be much more useful than that loaf of bread she still had from last week!

Ada leaned over to check on Peridot's work, since she was rather sure that Peridot hadn't ever sewn before. "You got all that okay?" she asked. "Darning can be tricky."

Talk to Eliot

[vdistinctive]

Those may or may not be his own pair of jeans he's passing around.

OOC

I always get Eleanor Rigby in my head when I look up darning.

And yes, it's something I've done multiple times. :P
