Fabric. She needed it. The fabric lady had it. Least, that’s what Sera affectionately called the older woman who owned the fabric store she loved. The lady had rows upon rows of fabric, and even some in the basement! And Sera had come to enjoy browsing the selection and talking with the lady, who was five feet at best! But had the feel of a grandmother to her.
Thankfully, she had the perfect fabric! And Sera eagerly purchased what she had, explaining she was branching out into men’s fashion. That earned her a pat on her hand and a wish of good luck with her attempt.
For this, she would work at home, in her workspace. Which was really just an office with a light board desk and various sketches pinned on the walls. But she had what she would need, including a dress makers dummy that could be altered to the correct size. It always helped when draping fabric and making sure things lined up.
Hair up in a very mess bun, a pin cushion on her wrist and tape measure around her like a scarf, she started her work. Or, step one in her work, step two would be the Hedgespinning. The door was closed, and Rhodes knew that when her office door was closed, she was working on something important.
Where she wanted this to just right, she decided to call upon a Contract to help her, one she hadn’t used since making the boots from her dress. She allows her Glamour to flow through her body and sets to work.
Material was cut, laid onto the dress makers dummy and pinned together. Measurements were taken as each piece was pinned together. It needed to fit him perfectly. When the measurement’s added up, the material was sewn together, it was slow, painstaking process.
But she did it. After hours upon hours of work, it was made.
The jacket was in the fabric agreed upon, the size was exact, right down to the shoulders, and she wipes a hand across her forehead, a huge smile on her face.
Next was going into her Hollow and adding the special ingredients.
