SPOILER!!: Professor!
So absorbed she was that it took a minute or two for Kay to actually register that Kye was saying something to her. "I apologise, Ms Atwater. I got caught up with these brilliant designs.'' She went over to the Snake, nodding her head as she did so. ''Of course. While we're at it, I can make one for myself. I think I'll go with jeans.'' Yes, it would be more suitable and professional for... well, the students would find out why they needed to make a casual outfit soon enough.

"You see, jeans are double stitched. Remember how we stitched the beanie during the lesson with a single row of thread down the seams? This time it's best we use two rows since denim is thicker than most fabric. It's basically the same flow after you've taken your measurements. Cut the fabric then begin sewing together. I have some books in the room that go into great details.'' The woman smiled. "I'll get some denim for myself.'' Said denim was already washed since that shrunk it and made sewing easier.[/QUOTE]


"That's okay, Professor," Kye smiled, keeping herself from giggling. She was quite relieved when she saw Professor Kay was willing to demonstrate with the denim. Double stitch? Okay that didn't seem too bad... All she had to do was get a nice straight seam, and then stay parallel to that one. Oh how she wished she had steadier hands. Hopefully it was just nerves with the beanie, maybe I'll be better this time around?

Ah, wonderful! Professor Kay had books (hopefully with pictures/how to's). She almost wished that she had brought extra denim, so that they could get started immediately, but she could still use this time to cut the denim to her measurements. Using her list, she made the appropriate marks on the fabric for the waist, and then had a little debate with herself. The professor was going to make jeans, huh? Did Kye want jeans? Or did she want to stick with her original plan of shorts? Hmmmmmmmm....... Nah, shorts were much cuter with her halter idea.

She marked the denim, as with the shirt's fabric, she gave herself a bit of extra just in case. Maybe she would roll the bottoms? She wasn't sure yet, but she could decide that at the end when was closer to the final product. Thank you, Professor Kay, for the mannequins! Because that made it so much easier than just laying it on the table.

With a deep breath, Kye got her shirt's fabric and turned it inside out, laying it in place to sew. Deeeeep breath, you can do this!
