"No I didn't know that..." she said honestly. Kye wasn't great with creatures, magical or not. "Thank you," Kye said appreciatively before the professor slipped too far away. She kept her concentration and thanked Professor Stewart again in her head for the added assurance.
Keep the line... Keep the line... Keep it straight... Finally, Kye had made it to the end of the pants, finishing it off pretty cleanly. She repeated this for the other side of the leg, staying as steady as she could. Yep, shorts were a good idea. She'd be here FOREVER if she were making long jeans. FOREEVVVVEERRRR.. Because she'd probably mess up and have to start over. Ick. Kye shuddered at the thought! She went along, slowly... carefully... Doing much better than her beanie if she did say so herself. And she did. But not aloud. In case of karma. Did she believe in karma though? Eh, more just didn't want to risk it. NO. STOP IT. CONCENTRATE! She finished the pant and evaluated it. Again, she wanted to make something she could wear for times to come, not just whatever this project was. Why waste?? Okay... all looked well. She continued the line and finished the majority of her pants, she just needed to do the waist and bottom part. Okay so maybe she was halfway done? Anyway, the harder part was done in her opinion. She held the shorts up to the mannequin, making sure they weren't obnoxiously big or small. Nope! It seemed she had done an accurate measurement, which, she would be really disappointed in herself if she had messed up something so simple. She pinned a good portion of the waist section down, making sure she wasn't making her shorts too short for her own comfort, and began sewing. It was a little tricky at first, not knowing where to start the actual line, but she put a little mark where the button would go, and checked the books Professor Stewart had left.
She wish she had been this understanding of the process during that first lesson with the machines! Ah well. At least it would be clear that she was learning. Who would have thought she would be learning how to make her own wardrobe this year? She giggled at the thought of taking her NEWTs and having to make an outfit for the examiner. Luckily there wasn't that much time in an examination for it to be an actual idea! She finished the jeans, put them on her mannequin and decided to take a break. She would come back tomorrow.
