Chapter 60: Making Cotton Clothes (2)

Guo San's sister-in-law was watching the three children on the side, seeing who had urine, and took a handful. Seeing that he was tired on his stomach, let him turn over and lie down for a while, these three little guys are looking for a playmate today. It's time to go to bed every day, and now I don't sleep, just play there.

Aunt Guo finished reading Zhou Shujie's dismantled son, because the clothes were relatively fat, she took scissors to remove a circle in the corners and corners, and to make a placket, she cut the placket from the middle.

After that, Aunt Guo stopped doing it, making his little grandson's cotton pants in her hands, and instructed Zhou Shujie how to do it.

Zhou Shujie first picked up the needle and thread, brought a thimble to compare the lining and the surface of the padded jacket, turned it over, started from the back part of the front placket, sewed the two sides of the five pieces of cloth together, and turned it into a look of sewing everything except the collar and the bottom edge.

You don't need to turn it over after sewing, just start from the back and continue the cotton upwards.

Zhou Shujie bought new cotton, and when he bought it, he continued it in bundles, and the width of the clothes sold was continued one by one, and the excess places were torn off, and the insufficient places were made up.

If it is old cotton, it will be troublesome, first to pull out the cotton one by one, "card (read a sound) thing" into a round shape can be continued, not skilled hands must not do well, continue out of the cotton clothes big hole small eyes of the uneven thickness. ("Kashi" is a description of the Northeast method of handling old cotton.) )

The cotton clothes that continued to play turned her over from the collar little by little, and this cotton clothes were not finished. It is necessary to press it under the weight, compact the cotton, and hang it with a needle and thread before the final sewing can be carried out.

Zhou Shujie straightened the folded padded jacket, put it in an inappropriate place with a clean table, turned it over and pressed it on the padded jacket with the tabletop, and then went to make cotton pants.

Cotton pants are relatively easier to make than cotton jackets.

So this time, whether it is cutting the pants or cutting the son, Aunt Guo moved her mouth and Zhou Shujie did it.

When the cotton pants were refilled, the cotton jacket was almost pressed.

Flipping the table, I took out the padded jacket underneath and stuffed the folded cotton pants into it.

Zhou Shujie pressed the padded jacket and started the line according to the two-finger-wide line (hang).

This kind of padded jacket is a technical job, and it must be sturdy, and it requires that there is no needle and thread on the face.

It took a long time to get the padded jacket ready, and then the final stitching remained.

Put the padded jacket on the front and back (kui read four times), so that the reverse side is up, and then sew it from the placket of the clothes down the waist to the top. If it is a young person who makes a padded jacket, he will do something to pinch the waist or something, but he does not need it for the elderly, and they will be uncomfortable to wear if the waist is too thin.

When sewing, sew twice, the first time, sew the cotton jacket together first. The second time, the inside of the jacket and the cotton are sewn together. The padded jacket sewn out in this way looks good on the body and looks less rigid.

Sew all the way up, and when you sew it to the armpit, you have to sew a few more stitches to make it strong, which is a place of activity and loves to open the thread.

I sew it from the armpit all the way to the wrist and sew it with the cuffs.

For places such as the cuffs and the bottom of the clothes, the outer padded jacket should be put together and sewn up so that the clothes will look better without revealing the inside.

The other side is the same as this side, and the sewing is done with an inverted needle, which is the kind of sewing hair that sews back half a stitch, so that the sewing is strong and does not like to open the thread.

After the seal was finished, Aunt Guo praised it: "Yes, the pillar daughter-in-law thinks this is very good, I used to think that only the old man could seal the placket, and now we women can also wear the placket, look at the sewing and swing here, look at it neatly, and it will definitely be more neat to put it on." ”

Guo's sister-in-law and Guo's second sister-in-law also said that such padded jackets look good, and when they have time to go home, they will change their padded jackets and their mother's padded jackets to like this.

Zhou Shujie said to the sisters-in-law of the Guo family: "Sister-in-law, I know a padded jacket with a waist, if you want to change it, change it to this one, and it looks good on the waist when you wear it." When I'm done with my mother-in-law's, I'll change my padded jacket and pants as well. Now it's too fat to be neat at all. ”

Guo's second sister-in-law asked Zhou Shujie: "Sister, what did you say about pinching your waist, tell us about it." ”

Sister-in-law Guo and Sister-in-law Guo saw that Sister-in-law Guo had asked the question they wanted to ask, but they just stared at Zhou Shujie, waiting for her answer.

Zhou Shujie told the sisters-in-law of the Guo family that the waist-pinching cotton jacket is roughly the same as the one she made for her mother-in-law, that is, shrinking a piece at the waist to form an obvious arc.

Several sisters-in-law said that when the children's shoes were finished, they would come to Shujie's house with a padded jacket, and they would make them together. When it's ready, be sure to wear it to see if it looks good.

Listening to them talking about how to make padded jackets, Aunt Guo looked at it with a smile and thought: They are all young, and they all know beauty, unlike us who are already old, and we don't look good in anything. Thinking of this, he raised his hand again and touched his wrinkled face.

The padded jacket that Zhou Shujie made for her mother-in-law can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, because the collar and placket buttons are not up.

To describe in words, making a cotton dress is a matter of a few words, if you really do it, you can make one in the morning, it is a good hand.

After Zhou Shujie finished making this padded jacket, the time was already noon, Aunt Guo and Guo's sister-in-law Guo Er's sister-in-law packed up their things and were about to go home, even Guo San's sister-in-law put the sleeping child in the quilt and went back together, Zhou Shujie didn't keep it.

Seeing off the guests, Zhou Shujie simply cleaned up the things on the kang and underground, and went to the outhouse to cook while the child didn't wake up, and the rest of the cotton clothes had to be made in the afternoon after eating.

After lunch, Zhou Shujie started to work again.

At the first afternoon, it was Guo San's sister-in-law who helped watch the children to be more active, and in the afternoon, no one was helping Zhou Shujie to watch the children.

In the afternoon, I only made a padded jacket collar.

By the time the cotton pants were finished, it would be dark.

As soon as he saw the sky, Zhou Shujie packed it up, and the rest could only be done in the future.

The mother-in-law also knew that it was a padded jacket made for her, and she sat there very quietly this afternoon, watching Zhou Shujie make clothes.

Although the collar of the padded jacket has been finished, it cannot be worn yet, and the button on the placket has not yet been fastened.

Now there are no buttons at home, and I told Aunt Guo at noon that I would help bring them back when they went to buy the stove tube tomorrow, and they brought it together, as well as the pants nose and buttons to be used on the cotton pants.
