Going to the countryside in the Northeast, educated youths became popular in the village with embroi

Chapter 69 Erased and repainted
"Chichi, can I learn to make clothes from you?"

"If you want to learn, just learn."

It's not a big deal, and Yi has no reason to refuse, but she is a little curious, "Why do you suddenly want to learn to make clothes?"

Bai Chen and the others' ears perked up.

Apparently, they want to know too.

Zhou Qiuyu curved her lips and smiled, "When I save enough cloth tickets, I want to make a new dress."

She has never worn new clothes since she was a child. She always wore old clothes that her brothers and sisters could no longer wear, or the old clothes of the neighbor's children.

She dreams of owning a new, brand-new piece of clothing that no one has ever worn.

"I want to be nice to myself."

"Besides, if you know how to make your own clothes, you can save a few dollars in labor costs!"

The last sentence is the key point, but it successfully got Bai Chen's point.

Saving labor costs is simply a huge temptation for them, and it is still a huge temptation that they cannot resist.

"We want to learn too."

They all said in unison, looking at Yi Chichi with eyes full of expectation.

She nodded and said loudly, "Learn!"

Being able to be self-reliant is a good thing, no matter if it is to save money or for other reasons, it is better than causing trouble for her.

Of course, if they were willing to pay her to help them make clothes, she would be very willing.

So, the teaching begins.

But making clothes also requires talent. Yi Chichi really wanted to teach them that there was no need to draw patterns originally. In order to make it easier for them to watch and understand, she specially painted them with powder for pattern making.

It also focuses on the steps of cutting shirts, pants and coats, and why they are cut in this way.

Because I was confident, the drawing process didn't take long from start to finish.

However, the explanation was very detailed. If Bai Chen and the others asked questions about something they didn't understand, she would also explain it in detail.

Anyway, everything that needs to be taught has been taught. As for how much they can learn, that is their business.

Yi Chichi did what she should do, and there was nothing she could do about the rest.

She then moves into the cutting process.

A group of people watched helplessly as she used scissors to cut the fabric into pieces, some of which had strange shapes.

Wang Nan couldn't help but took a piece of fabric and asked, "What is this used for?"

"sleeve!"

"???This is actually a sleeve?"

Bai Chen and the others looked confused. They came over and turned the cloth over and over to look at it.

As a result, no matter how they looked at it, they couldn't tell what the piece of fabric had to do with the sleeves.

"It doesn't look like it!"

Wu Yongfei gave a sincere evaluation.

Yi Chichi hummed, "It's just a piece of cloth now, it doesn't look normal!"

This is correct, so keep reading.

Looking at it, it’s dark, and using a flashlight or candle to work at night without turning on the light is bad for your eyesight.

Therefore, we can only stop and wait for the day to continue.

In the winter in the Northeast, it’s impossible to do anything because of the temperature.

Only Mao Dong.

After staying at the team doctor's office for several days, Yi Chichi couldn't bear the cold twice a day.

Then she discussed with the captain and the others whether she could not go to the team infirmary. If someone was sick and needed medicine, she could go to the Educated Youth Hospital and call her.

The captain and the others agreed.

Therefore, Yi Chichi started squatting in Maodong, the Educated Youth Yard, with Wang Nan and others every day.

As for Liu Lan and the others who were learning embroidery from her, they stopped going out and started practicing needlework at home, following the embroidery patterns drawn by Yi Chichi.

This time it was a colorful embroidery sample. Yi Chichi, who had the painting tools, colored the embroidery sample. The color of the embroidery sample was bright and lifelike. As long as Liulan and the others could embroider a five-point similarity with the embroidery sample, they would have achieved a certain level of learning. .

In this regard, they were full of confidence and said that they would practice hard.

Yi Chichi expressed high praise for their attitude towards learning and strolled back to the Educated Youth Institute.

After breakfast that day, a group of people gathered in the big room with a heated Ondol as usual. Wu Yongfei really loves to paste matchboxes. After delivering the last delivery, he brought back a bunch of materials to continue gluing.

Zhou Qiuyu was also taken by him to get materials and came back to follow him. Bai Chen and the others were mending clothes and pants.

Yi Chichi, on the other hand, takes the previously cut fabric and starts the sewing process after threading the needle and thread.

This process tests one's patience.

When sewing, not only should the threads be hidden, but the stitches should also be fine and solid to ensure that the clothes will not crack (seam) casually.

In addition, the pins also need to be hidden.

It is true slow work and careful work.

At first, Bai Chen and the others found it interesting to watch the multitasking.

But after watching it, I began to feel bored. I also thought that this job was not difficult, just like mending clothes, and I wanted to try it myself.

As the saying goes, action is worse than heartbeat. Ge Sujuan, an activist, chose to take the initiative.

She said, "Chichi, do you think we can try it ourselves?"

Yi Chichi paused and raised his eyes in surprise, "You want to learn how to cut and sew by yourself?"

"Correct!"

"...Do you have any cloth you can learn from?"

Don't you think about the fabric in her hand? !

You can't do this. They can't let them ruin the fine fabrics.

Besides, this isn't hers, it's Yu Rutang's fabric.

Fortunately, her worries were somewhat unnecessary. Ge Sujuan said, "We can get some rags to look like you. Although it is a super small version, it can be used to practice."

"Even if it's ruined, the rags can be dismantled and patched later or used to make shoe uppers. It's not a waste."

Bai Chen and the others nodded, indicating that she was right.

Yi Chichi...had not considered it thoroughly, and she seemed to have no reason to refuse.

"You can try it."

"I'll get the rag head."

With a crash, all those with rag heads ran away.

Not two minutes later they appeared with rags in their hands.

Yi Chichi took a quick look and found that most of them were made of cotton, and they were all washed white and severely worn.

But for practicing, cloth is enough, other requirements cannot be too high.

After looking at the size, she found that it was OK, so she smiled and said, "Practice hard, start with mini clothes."

They used the rags they brought and cut them into baby clothes, pants or skirts.

The premise is that there are no problems with their design.

As a result, they were stumped at the first step.

Either the lines drawn with pink paint are curved like earthworms, or the spacing is not right.

If it is really cut out, it will be hard to see what is sewn.

"Something doesn't feel right to me."

Wang Nan looked at the work he had drawn, frowning with a look of bitterness and hatred.

Bai Chen and the others looked at each other, something was wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.

Then Xiang Yi cast a questioning look.

"Chichi, can you help me take a look?"

Yi Chi took a look and said in a calm tone, "I erased and repainted it. The size of the front and sleeves are wrong, and the lines are also crooked."

Wang Nan listened to the advice and decisively erased the lines he had drawn before and redrawn them.

Then she was wrong again.

Yi Chi sighed and began to teach her step by step how to draw the shape, reserve seams and so on.

Then, she succeeded.

Yi Chichi nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's ready to be cut."
