Chapter 2237: Mastery In Tailoring Obtained!
“You want to make it yourself?” Mag looked at Amy in surprise, wondering if it was that unnamed System of hers that gave her a new mission.
The little one had completely no experience in hands-on work. She did not even know how to thread a needle. How would she be able to make a school bag for Jessica?
Amy nodded and said confidently, “Mm. I think a school bag looks rather simple to make. I should be able to learn it easily.”
Mag also believed that she could learn things easily. It was also a good chance for the little one to train by cultivating some handicraft abilities that she was interested in.
“Let me find you a tutorial that you can follow.” Mag walked out of the kitchen. He took the tablet and found a simpler cloth school bag tutorial for Amy.
After that, he went upstairs and found a thick, pink, waterproof cloth for Amy. That would be more than enough to make a school bag.
“Thank you, Father!” Amy carried the tablet and watched seriously behind the counter. She held a pair of large scissors in one hand as she copied what she saw in the video.
Mag watched as Amy cut out a crooked line on the cloth seriously. His eyelids twitched and he turned to walk back into the kitchen.
Indeed, she could learn things easily but not necessarily do them well…
So be it. In any case, her System would be the one who was anxious if she was unable to complete the mission. As her father, all Mag needed to do was to provide sufficient materials.
After 10 minutes, Amy looked at the piece of cloth that appeared as though a rat had chewed it. She blinked and then looked at the perfect square cloth in the teacher’s hands in the video. She nodded with satisfaction and said, “The one I cut out looks nicer indeed.”
Yabemiya and Annie, who were watching from the side, were holding back their laughter.
“Actually, I purposely cut it like this so that it would look wavy,” Amy explained.
Annie took a pencil from the side and drew a wavy line on the cloth that Amy had cut out. After that, she pointed at it, motioning Amy to cut along the line.
“I’ll give it a try.” Amy picked up the scissors again and cut along the line Annie drew. In no time at all, the cloth with a simple wavy edge appeared.
“Now it looks so much neater,” Miya complimented....
“Thank you, Big Sister Annie.” Annie looked at the cloth in her hands happily. The next step: sewing!
Firstly, she would need a needle and a strong thread. Mag had already prepared all these things for her.
After quite a while, Amy managed to thread the needle. After that, she copied the teacher in the video and started sewing.
However, after just a few stitches, Annie stopped her. She loosened the thread to spread the cloth out again. After that, she used a pencil to draw small dots on the edge of the cloth, which were equal distance apart and motioned for Amy to sew along the dots.
“Wow, this is so much more convenient. I won’t have to worry about it being crooked.” Amy’s eyes lit up and she looked at Annie with admiration. “You’re so smart.”
Annie smiled. She stood at the side and watched Amy sew with interest, and would help Amy detangle her thread from time to time.
Under Annie’s watch, Amy made a simple little schoolbag in about half an hour.
The stiff, waterproof cloth gave the bag a shape. The pink little school bag even had wavy edges. If one were to overlook the ends of the thread, the bag actually looked rather well-done.
Any used her shoulders as a gauge and added two straps to the bag. After that, she tried carrying the bag. It looked pretty good.
“Mm. It’s rather pretty. Our Amy baby knows how to make a bag,” Mag said with a smile when he poked his head out from the kitchen and saw the bag on Amy’s shoulders.
The little one actually succeeded on her first try and that took him by surprise.
Amy smiled proudly and said, “Hehe, I said I’m good.”
After turning one round with the bag on her shoulders, Amy put the school bag down and looked at the empty cloth at the back. She could not help but wonder, “It seems to lack something.”
“I’ll draw something on it for you?” Annie signed.
Amy’s eyes lit up but she quickly shook her head. “No, I have to do it on my own.”
Annie thought for a while and signed, “In that case, I’ll draw it on a cloth for you and you can cut it out and sew it on. That way, you made it on your own.”
“Alright, alright! Big Sister Annie, you’re so smart.” Annie nodded.
Annie thought for a while and drew the back view of two young ladies holding hands on a piece of white cloth. After that, she added a round orange by the side.
“It’s me and Jessica!” Amy exclaimed. She looked at the round orange and said, “Can you leave Ugly Duckling out? It looks a little ugly.”
“Ugly Duckling: “Meow meow?”
“It’s very cute.” Annie reached her hand out and caressed Ugly Duckling’s head.
“Meow~” Ugly Duckling closed its eyes and used its head to caress Annie’s hand. Favorability +1.
“Alright, I’ll keep itt.” Amy took the scissors and started cutting the silhouettes out. After that, she sewed them on the bag.
The empty space looked lively now that the two girls and Ugly Duckling were added to it, making the bag look much cuter.
“It looks good! Jessica will definitely love it!” Amy said happily as she carried the bag.
“Congratulations on completing your mission to make your own school bag. You have gained the title of ‘novice tailor’ and obtained mastery in tailoring!” The System’s voice rang in Amy’s head.
“Mastery in tailoring obtained? What is that?” Amy asked with a tilt of her head.
“After absorbing the experience bag, you will gain the life experience of a professional tailor. You would be able to perfectly replicate any complicated clothing designs. That is the mastery in tailoring,” the System replied.
“Doesn’t sound like much. I don’t want to be a tailor.” Amy was disinterested.
“…” Life Experience System.
This batch of hosts is difficult indeed!
What a prized skill that could make one climb all the way to the top in an industry!
She actually said… doesn’t sound like much?
However, it did make some sense.
For those who did not wish to become tailors, this skill did seem rather useless…
“Little mistress, don’t you want to become an excellent fashion designer? Don’t you want to be a well-respected tailor? The chance is right in front of you right now. All you need to do is pick up a pair of scissors and you can be a god in the tailoring world!” The System tried to encourage Amy.
“No, I do not.” Amy rejected it outrightly.
However, she did pick up that pair of scissors and cut out an exquisite little flower casually using two pieces of cloth and stuck it on Ugly Duckling’s head. After that, she smiled happily.
“What a beautiful flower.” Annie looked at the flower, and then at Amy, in shock. How could she cut out such an exquisite little flower without any guidelines after just a short amount of time?
