Chapter 446 Making Clothes

Shu Xiaoxiao practiced walking step by step. Zhenzhu stood by her side, watching her without blinking to prevent her from falling. She sighed in her heart and said, no wonder these ladies and ladies don't like to go out. Even if they go out, they either ride in a carriage or a sedan chair. Even the larger mansions have all kinds of sedan chairs. It turned out that it was because these ladies and ladies walked too slowly.

Although it looks pretty when it walks, it is too slow.

Pearl nodded silently. She needed to follow the young lady in the future. It seemed that she couldn't walk so fast in the future. Other things were fine, but she had to slow down. She could do anything, but she must not lose the young lady's face.

Shu Xiaoxiao had just finished practicing today's small steps and had no time to rest before she had to pick up the embroidery needle again. Tsk, this is really worse than going to school.

Whether it's horse riding, archery, or memorizing and practicing calligraphy, it can't be easier and more comfortable than this.

I was already feeling annoyed because of the small steps I had to take, and now I had to embroider with a needle and thread as thin as a hair. It was really... really making it impossible to continue embroidering!

"Mom, didn't you say that I just need to collect a few stitches for the wedding dress? Then I can just make the clothes directly. Why do I have to learn embroidery? Look at my hands, there are so many holes on them." Shu Xiaoxiao raised her hands and looked at her mother who was standing beside her with an aggrieved look on her face.

In modern times, she also sewed clothes. Although it was not very beautiful, it was practical. The needle was pierced down and not pulled up, so the hand would not be pricked at all. But nowadays, the embroidery is pierced down and then pulled up nearby. This way, the needle cannot be seen and it is really easy to prick yourself.

Ye Xue Ning began to frown as she watched her daughter holding the needle. The nanny next to her wanted to say something but didn't know what to say because she didn't know where to start talking about the young lady's needlework. Nothing was right. How could she begin?

Seeing the young lady's strange needlework, she wished she could do it herself.

Ye Xue Ning had a headache. She had thought her daughter's needlework skills were poor, but she didn't expect them to be so bad. She could only say, "You are not practicing embroidery now, but the most basic needlework. The clothes you are making now have gaps in the middle that are wide enough for fingers to stick out. Anyone who wears them will be exposed to the wind. You should learn the most basic needlework first before you talk about making clothes."

Then he said with a strange expression: "You forgot that you promised your eldest brother and third brother clothes. Now you should practice well, they are still waiting for the clothes you have made."

She never mentioned that her daughter had also said that she would make clothes for her. With her daughter's craftsmanship, she had no hope of counting on her daughter, as she couldn't really wear them out. So she decided to give the clothes to her eldest and third sons. Anyway, they thought their sister was good in every way and they probably wouldn't dislike her craftsmanship.

Boss:.............

The third brother:.............

They could, probably, or perhaps would dislike it.

Shu Xiaoxiao:...............

Her mother's expression of disdain is too obvious...

Isn't she still not familiar with it?

Although there are no sewing machines now, the things they sew with a tiny embroidery needle are denser than those made with a sewing machine. The thread they use is not much thicker than a hair. After a few stitches, if the distance between them is larger, there will be no progress. As for the distance between needles, it is invisible to the naked eye. Is this an easy thing to learn?

With this quality, she didn't know when she would be able to finish sewing the clothes for her eldest and third brothers, let alone the clothes for them.

After accidentally pricking her hand again, Shu Xiaoxiao said angrily, "Mom, I am not getting married alone, and I will not live alone in the future. Why must I make this dress? Can't I let my husband make it in the future? Anyway, we are husband and wife, so it doesn't matter who makes it?"

The nanny and Pearl next to them suddenly raised their heads, looked at their young lady's self-righteous expression in disbelief, opened their mouths but could not say anything.

Let men make clothes, my goodness, what kind of idea is this, men...how can men make clothes?

Zhenzhu, on the other hand, was also incredulous and couldn't understand it at first, but when she thought about her own young lady's experience, she suddenly felt that if the young lady could be knighted with her own ability, then why couldn't the man sit down and embroider?

They are all work. Women can do men's work, and men can naturally do women's work as well. They all have two hands, so there is nothing they can't do.

If she were to look for a husband in the future, the first condition would be that he must be able to make clothes for her. After all, her strength was no less than that of a man. She could chop wood and water the plants, so why couldn't he make clothes for her?

But thinking about who the young lady's husband is, Zhenzhu lowered her head silently again. She was just a maid, and her future husband could either make clothes or do embroidery. As for Prince Yun, she was guilty, and she really couldn't think about it......

Ye Xue Ning didn't even raise her eyelids: "If you have the ability to let your husband make clothes for you in the future, that's your ability. Now, you keep practicing."

Every couple has a different way of getting along with each other. Some men look serious on the surface, but they may not have any hobbies in private. My daughter has this idea, and maybe it will become the couple's bedroom interest in the future. She has no control over that, but now my daughter must practice first.

Maybe a miracle will happen, right?

Seeing that her mother did not try to stop her, Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the messy handkerchief in her hand and slowly made up her mind. This was only the case in ancient times, when men were not allowed to do this or that. This ignored men's talents. Nowadays, there are many men who are tailors and fashion designers, and they do better than women. So, what men cannot do is a bad habit that needs to be changed.

Since the clothes that couples wear closely together cannot be touched by outsiders, it doesn't matter who touches them. Maybe my brother is particularly talented in this aspect.

She believed that her senior brother was an all-round talent. After making up her mind, Shu Xiaoxiao began to clamor to learn cutting. The first step in making clothes should be cutting, and the second step is sewing. She wanted to learn the first step first.

Ye Xue Ning sighed helplessly and responded, "Then let's learn cutting first."

Cutting is simpler than sewing because there is a nanny next to you taking the measured dimensions and drawing marks on the cloth with a wooden ruler. Shu Xiaoxiao just has to cut along the marks.

And as long as you have the size, you can just draw the approximate position on the cloth. Compared to sewing stitch by stitch, cutting is much easier for Shu Xiaoxiao.

After a short while, I had mastered the skill. In addition to cutting my own size, I also cut out the sizes needed by my eldest and third brothers.

I plan to give the eldest brother's to my eldest sister-in-law, and let my mother sew the third brother's, so that she can be considered to be personally involved. Or I can give it to a maid who is good at sewing. Anyway, these are not close-fitting clothes, so the requirements are not that strict.

As for her own size, she planned to find an opportunity to give it to her senior brother to see if he could handle it.

If senior brother has no problem with it, she can measure his size next time. From then on, one of them will be responsible for cutting and the other will be responsible for sewing their underwear. It will be perfect.

As for what she had promised to her eldest brother, third brother and mother before, although she could not sew, she could cut it. Not only for her eldest brother, third brother and mother, but also for her father and second brother, she could help cut clothes. This could also be considered as doing it with her own hands!
