 First outfit, second post
Daehyun was about to start setting up the sewing machine, when he'd heard Emmalyn offer to help if needed, which was really nice of her. He nodded in agreement, but then noticed the girl was quite in the zone and might not have noticed his movement, so he said, "Will do, thank you!" before turning to narrow his eyes at the machine.
He'd started by putting in the batteries, this time with ease since he'd finally understood the way each of them went in, and connected the foot pedal. As he was positioning the spool of thread onto the spindle on the side of the sewing machine, he noticed Shera joining him at the workbench next to where he had settled his things, and beamed at his friend. "Shera, hi!" He would have waved, but his hands were occupied with running the end of the thread through the loop on top, and finished off by placing the bobbin on the winder before turning to look at Shera.
"Day at the beach for the first outfit," he answered with a nod, proudly showing off his dummy which currently wore the straw hat and the small, round sunglasses. And please take note of the grandpa sandals, too.
His eyes flitting back to the sewing machine, he pressed the power switch, and confidently pressed the foot pedal and watched the bobbin thread itself. He's got this. "What outfit are you going to make?" he asked Shera, as he used the scissors to cut the thread once he was satisfied with the amount of thread he'd bundled up there. Next, he removed the bobbin, and the threaded bobbin was moved onto the holder underneath the scary needle. He did the last adjustments, and once the thread had gone through the eye of the needle, pressed the pedal, and he was done.
... only with the setup. Only then the fun began. He wondered if Shera had any clue about how to do all of... that. The actual cutting of material and on which side to sew. |
