When she heard someone address her. One of her reserve players. Smiling over at him, "Hey Patrick. Just designing an outfit for a funeral." The other ones gave her too many feels and she wasn't about to deal with right now. Also, she probably shouldn't mention her earlier thoughts to him. "What about you?"
Eyes back on the mannequin, and Skylar wrapped the black fabric around its would-be waist, pinning it carefully. And then slid it off. Folding it inside out, she stitched the two ends together. And then right outside out again, where the stitch was barely visible. But it was in need of just one thing... It would be difficult to take on and off, so carefully, she ripped the seam just a bit at the top and sewed a small bit extra with a button in the back. Perfect. Skirt done, which she lined up on her mannequin just right. Now time for the shirt and the leggings.
Looking back at his fabric he smiled. It was going to be a pretty cool outfit when he was finally finished with it. He wasn’t so sure with the funeral outfit but he didn’t figure it was his place to ask about it so instead he kept it to himself.
“I’m making a pair of jeans and a button up, well a flannel to be exact. It’s something I used to wear a lot back home.” he laughed a bit feeling the pang of missing home less, but still feeling it.
He turned back around to his table and spread out his flannel fabric so he could begin cutting out the fabric of his shirt. It was going to be a time consuming task considering it was going to involve matching the pattern of the fabric. After sewing up each piece quickly to his surprise, he grabbed a needle and thread to start on the buttons.
There were seven on the front, two on the sleeves. In and out, in and out, he continued to bring the thread up and down through the button holes. Trying to not get bored with this portion of his shirt. The rest of the project had been really fun, this not so much.
