Chapter 140: Waiting for Someone
Thankfully, the system has a higher time ratio; otherwise, it would take forever to finish this coat. She planned to make a trench coat style that reaches to the knees with a stand-up collar, simple and elegant, only decorated with a few pockets.
After the fabric was cut, it took her a long time to find a tailor’s shop. She gave the tailor some money and borrowed equipment from the shop, such as an overlock machine and a sewing machine.
"Young lady, you have good skills," the old tailor said with a smile as he watched Qin Xiangnuan skillfully operate the sewing machine.
"To be a master at such a young age."
Qin Xiangnuan continued working on the garment, feeling somewhat embarrassed. She was far from being a master; her sewing skills were just average, developed from working on a production line and could not compare with a real tailor.
Current sewing machines were the foot-operated type from the well-known Butterfly brand, which were quite popular now. The machine operated smoothly, showing that the old tailor was someone who really cared for his belongings.
Qin Xiangnuan sat there working for an entire afternoon to finish the major parts, with the rest needing to be done by hand.
She returned to the hotel, where her elder brother, Qin Xiangyang, happened to be. She didn’t do anything until Qin Xiangyang fell asleep at night, and then she entered the system to continue working on the suit, hand sewing the hem.
Such meticulous work was typically done by master tailors, as the stitches needed to be as fine as the tip of a needle, requiring consistent force to look good.
Qin Xiangnuan was quite confident about this; she could even embroider peony patterns, so this was no issue for her.
She took the trench coat very seriously, making sure every stitch was perfect. It was her first completed coat on her own, not only as a gift to someone else but mainly to test her own skills and to see to what extent she had reached.
