Chapter 469: Stuffy Animals
Fish and water are already proficient in using clothing sewing machines, because fish are happy, and water is naturally the one who spends the most time working. According to Yun'er's request, the two of them made a few pieces of Baijia clothes and Baina quilts that are estimated to be sold, and sent them to Yulong Cloth Village for trial sale. Although Bai'er clothes and Baina quilts are the work that women in the Qing Dynasty will do, they don't have so many patterns of fabrics in Yun'er's hands, and Yu'er Shui'er is done under the guidance of Yun'er, a person who has been concentrating on learning art patchwork, and the effect is not the same as that of Bai'er clothes and Baina quilts in the Qing Dynasty, and the price is still not low.
The Baina quilt of Yulong Cloth Village is a work of art, not only has a variety of cloth pieces, but also looks better than the whole cloth. Of course, this kind of quilt is different from that given to beggars, and it is given to beggars that they can be put together, and the color is ugly.
Before the patchwork, Yun'er sent eight bags of rags to the girls and grandmothers in Fujin Courtyard, which were those irregularly shaped pieces of cloth. Let Fu Jin send it to them himself. Fu Jin said very strictly to Mama Zheng, Mama, and Bun'er: "Don't take it seriously if you don't see how many cloth heads Master Yun sent you, you must use these cloth heads to the point that you can't sew them to such a size, and the remaining cloth slag is not allowed to be thrown away, and you can stuff it into it as that filling when making sachets or something." After that, the rags are put together in a cardboard box. ”
Mama Zheng smiled and said: "Of all the blessings in our Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that you are the best at living, and you don't throw away rags." ”
"It's not that I will live, when I think of Master Yun and the three of them in such a strange place to buy things and learn skills, and they are busy giving birth to children and being in danger at any time, the more I think about it, the more I am afraid. I don't know how to buy these things, they are all so good, this is Mr. Chen's money! Everyone be merciful, don't waste a little, otherwise I'm sorry for Master Yun. ”
When Yun'er came to Fujin to ask for peace, Fujin asked Yun'er what the effect of putting rag residue in a sachet was, Yun'er said that it was better to put it into the stomach of a fluffy animal, which could be used as cotton.
Fu Jin is quite fond of fluffy animals, so he asked Yun'er for a little, and Yun'er knew that there were still many fluffy cloth heads in the pile of Xiaoli cloth, so Tian Liang found two bags and used a tricycle to pull one bag for Fu Jin.
The beard looked surprised: "There is still such a piece of cloth?" That's pretty too, right? ”
Among the birthday gifts to Xuan'er is the fluffy rabbit made by Ling Juan, which is favored by many women. Fu Jin and Yun'er both know that this series will definitely make money, but the filling in it is more expensive. Yun'er asked the manager to find a few bags of acrylic cotton in the large courtyard with cloth heads in the northwest corner of the garden. After Ling Juan made a fluffy rabbit, she also paid attention to fluffy animal dolls, and when she was fine, she used cardboard to make some fluffy animal templates, and when she was alive, she could draw the shape according to the template.
Yun'er learned to be a flopy bear with Xiaoli in a foreign land, and her memory is unusually good, so she made a fluffy bear on the spot without using a template, which was stuffed with leftover rags. The bear made by Yun'er is very cute and vivid. The eyes are two round, shiny black buckles, and they are sunken, like real eyes! This little bear is left to Fu Jin. Fu Jin put it on his bed, and he couldn't get enough of it.
Therefore, under the strong appeal of all the teaching grandmothers, the skills of making plush animals were taught by Yun'er and Ling Juan to the seven teaching grandmothers respectively. In addition to the difference in size, size, and color, there are also differences in posture, some standing, some sitting, and some lying on their stomachs. In addition to bears, there are also cartoon animals such as Hello Kitty, Garfield, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny, and Gray Donkey. Xuan'er especially likes Bugs Bunny. Yun'er made another Bugs Bunny for her son. It is a pure white rabbit with pale pink inside of its ears and red plastic buttons on its eyes. The little tail behind him pouted, and the two hind legs were very long, and they were still standing crossed. He wore an apron and held a shovel in his hand, as if he was going to cook. The most ridiculous thing is that its apron is also embroidered with a bunny bugs with the same image as it. Xuan'er put the one she got on her birthday and the one she gave him on the side of her pillow, and hugged them for a while before going to bed......
Inspired by Yun'er, Yu'er also made a white fluffy rabbit, standing in a standing position, wearing a skirt with white dots on a red background. The length of the skirt is at the knee, it is strapped, and it is also trimmed with fungus. Yun'er gave the white rabbit directly to Yu'er, and Yu'er naturally gave it to her daughter. The fluffy animals that were made for the first time were all owned by the person himself. A gray donkey made by Ling Juan was given to Xuan'er, who liked it very much, and thanked Ling Juan with a fist, "Thank you, Mr. Ling." ”
"Sister, how did you grow your brain? How can you memorize so many skills? ”
"This is what Miss Xiaoli taught Yun'er when Yun'er was in a foreign land."
"Miss Xiaoli? Is that the rough maid Xiaoli girl you are talking about? The man couldn't help but interject.
Yun'er is very sad, and she doesn't know how she recognized Xiaoli as a person in the ranks of slaves and maids, she just said that Xiaoli helped her cousin do housework, so she became a rough maid in her eyes, she was really troubled, and she didn't bother to pay attention to her.
Fluffy animals are one of the skills taught by Yun'er.
A box in Yun'er's room is full of tools for making patchwork, and one of them is called a bone pen. One end is the shape of a knife, and the other end is a bit like a ballpoint pen, which is pointed, so I use this tip to stuff the acrylic cotton packed into the plush toy. Yun'er did a demonstration, and the fish and water would be all right.
The fluffy animals were sent to Yulong Buzhuang and Nalan Department Store respectively, and they were snatched up as soon as they were put on the shelves, as if they didn't want money. Yun'er felt that the price was already very expensive, but she was still coaxed by the young ladies and young grandmothers of those big families. Also, in the Qing Dynasty, there were really no such cute toys.
Fujin has been influenced by the frugal habits of her monk husband since she got married, and she is reluctant to throw away anything. Many of the gifts Yun'er brought back were packed in transparent plastic film bags, and such pockets were kept as very precious things. A used disposable cup was planted with a flower, and the can was turned into a pen holder. No matter what you use, you don't have to fight the sea, and it is really not easy for a noble lady like Fu Jin to do this. Of course, Yun'er doesn't throw things around, she came from a "poor family", let's just say Fujin, such a noble background, it is not easy to be so frugal.
During this period of patchwork, all the teaching grandmothers did not passively listen to the class. They racked their brains to come up with a new kind of patchwork work, which not only had the exotic characteristics taught by the cloud master, but also the traditional style of the Qing Dynasty. It can also be combined with other fabric practices, such as embroidery. Embroidering a small flower or a small animal on the piece is a beautiful picture with the finishing touch. Among them are very practical seat cushions, mattresses, pockets, wallets, aprons, cushions, pillows, toys and so on. All were warmly welcomed, which was not available in the Qing Dynasty.
The Queen Mother once got a simple bear, which she always put in front of her pillow, and she had to look at it when she slept at night, and then began to regret why Yun'er was not her own daughter or daughter-in-law. In terms of ability, no woman in the emperor can compare to Yun'er. In the paper, Concubine E is a leader, but she can't do any good to the country.
Don't underestimate these rags for making fabrics, not everyone can have them. There is nowhere to buy it in Daqing. Many women who work as maids in large families do not have so many kinds of materials for work, that is, the little leftovers left over from making clothes and shoes are kept as treasures. Yun'er likes everyone too much. I gave some fluff cloth and acrylic cotton to the girls and grandmothers in the front and back courtyards. There are children in the family who are a few years old, let them do it themselves. People of the age of Mama Zheng, Mama Liu, and Mama Dong have grandchildren and granddaughters at home, so they are given enough fleece cloth and acrylic cotton. Women are interested in these things, the total number is as many as the mountains, and it is nothing to give everyone so much, and when the enthusiasm of these girls and grandmothers is mobilized, everyone is happy to make it. Besides, these things must be used quickly, and they will inevitably be old after a long time.
So I sent a certain number of various rags to all the teaching mothers, and asked them to send them to the disciples under their jurisdiction, and everyone thought independently and worked together to make their own fabric products. There are material rewards for outstanding achievements.
Since there are not many restrictions on everyone's thinking, many people have hollowed out their minds to turn rags into exquisite fabrics, no matter what they are, as long as they look good, they can get rewards. The reward is the exotic materials that Yun'er brought back, although they are all daily necessities, or food and play, they are all things that the Qing Dynasty does not have. For example, a small pocket of "mixed colored beads", an agate bracelet, a piece of flower cloth, a pair of pillow towels, a sweatshirt, a set of cotton sweaters, a pack of socks, a silk scarf, a plastic basin, a plastic toy, a soap with a soap dish, a fruit knife, a box of blush, a frosted glass teacup, a bag of biscuits, a bag of preserves...... You have to mix and match to get two things every time. If anyone gets these rewards, the smile on his face will last for at least a few days, first of all, he will have face, and secondly, he will not have it. Everyone who eats it eats it, and if it is not good to use it, it will be treasured by the winner himself.
Yun'er found some fluff cloth heads, plastic foam soles, and auxiliary materials for making fluffy animals, and then sent a pair of slippers of fluff cloth to each person, so that everyone could figure out how to make it themselves. Making shoes is something that everyone in the Qing Dynasty can do, but slippers have never been made. But there are samples, look at the samples, figure out how people do them, and soon someone will make them, no different from the sample. But Yun'er held up a pair of slippers and said: "This kind of foam sole is not as strong as you can accept it yourself, when you wear the shoes, the needle size should be larger, if the needle size is small, it is easy to open." Who made these shoes, quietly took them back and remade them. ”
She stuck out her tongue and tucked her substandard slippers into her sleeves. But Mama Zheng deliberately made her ugly: "When did the little hooves become a thief?" Slipped away the slippers that others did not meet the standards? ”
"Dead old Mrs. Zhu, can you die if you don't say a word?"
"You can't die, if you don't say it, you will panic. This is an unqualified rework done by the cloud master, why did you take it away, and how can you rework it if you take it away? ”
Everyone laughed, in fact, everyone knew that it was the mustache that was reworked, and she refused to admit it because she loved face, and as a result, she was charged with stealing slippers. Fortunately, it is a big heart and I don't care. This should be a strength, otherwise it will be seen as a thief and something may happen.
The fluffy slippers were placed on the counter of the Yulong Cloth Village, and the people who were waiting here didn't know what they were at first, but they knew that they were shoes worn in the inner room after the introduction of the shopkeeper Chen, and it was very convenient to get up at night. On second look, these slippers are particularly beautiful and playful, with the image of a tiger, a bear and a kitten on the toe. As a result, slippers made of various fluffy animals were quickly bought. This kind of shoes is really attractive, the plush is very soft, very expressive, and it is particularly comfortable to wear on the feet, and a pair is only eighty yuan. More and more people are buying, each person is limited to two pairs, and the supply of slippers in the house is in short supply. Yun'er's hall has a fluffy cloth head, and the woven bag containing this kind of cloth head is also different from other pockets, it is easy to find, so Yun'er asked Tian Liang and Nalan to pick dozens of bags for everyone to make slippers and fluffy animals. It's just that the stuffing of the stuffing of the stuffy animals is very large, and there are some of them in the courtyard in the northwesternmost corner of the house, so the stuffy animals are temporarily stopped.
