Originally, I was going to remove the threads from the clothes, and then try to sew them according to the original prints.

You don't have to worry about wasting cloth, and you can practice your hands.

Now that there is a sewing machine, Wei Lan has a new idea.

Scoop up the old clothes that were turned out before, and send the corners of the clothes to the needle.

The old-fashioned Butterfly brand sewing machine, with a painted red desktop and black body, is the kind of foot-pedal.

Wei Lan carefully stepped on the pedal under the table, and a few "chirps" sounded when he boarded, and a vertical and dense and neat stitch appeared in the corner of the clothes.

"How?"

When Gu Chao heard the movement, he shook the water in his hand and walked over, "Can it be used?" ”

"Look!" Wei Lan directly showed him the row of dense stitches.

The stitches of the sewing machine are more neat and dense than those of handwork, and the most important thing is that after learning to control it, it is more time-saving to sew and mend something.

Gu Chao glanced at it and said in a deep voice, "It's good to be able to use it." ”

"I can use it, but I don't know how to make clothes yet, I'm going to take this dress apart and tie it again with a sewing machine, and if it's okay, I'm trying to cut cloth and make clothes."

As soon as he heard this, Gu Chao lowered his head and glanced at the light blue gown in his hand a few more times.

The clothes are new, the fabric is soft, and it is pure cotton.

Even so, its value remains.

A dress like this can't be bought by many people.

"Just use a cloth." Gu Chao folded his clothes and put them on the side of the bed, and when he looked back, he saw Wei Lan pouting unhappily.

"A foot of cloth is only a few cents, and this dress costs more than ten or twenty yuan." Gu Chao's index finger and thumb gently pinched her red little mouth where she could hang up the oil pot, "If you have to dismantle your clothes, then dismantle mine." ”

Anyway, his clothes are almost torn, and he can still play the last role in practicing Wei Lan, and he won't feel distressed.

"It's annoying!" Wei Lan pursed her lips and read a sentence in pieces, glaring at Gu Chao dissatisfied.

But after thinking about it, I also felt that what Gu Chao said was right.

"Then use yours!"

As soon as he said it, Wei Lan pulled Gu Chao back to the room and removed the things on the box at the end of the bed.

Opening the box, Wei Lan stuck his head inside, and turned out the few clothes Gu Chao had and threw them on the bed.

Counting Gu Chao's body, there are a total of six clothes, four single coats, and two pants.

Gu Chao was wearing the best inside, and Wei Lanzhi went to fill it with cotton, so he definitely couldn't move at this moment.

The rest of the clothes on the bed are either patched on the shoulders, or at the hip bones of the hem, and some are even patched on top of each other.

Gu Chao was still wearing these clothes in the summer before, and he didn't feel poor or undignified at that time, but now that they were in front of him, Wei Lan suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

Could it be that she just stared at Gu Chao's face before?

Wei Lan blushed in embarrassment, coughed dryly, and chose the old gown with patches stacked on top of it, "You, you can clean up the clothes on the bed yourself!" I'm going to get busy! ”

Wei Lan rushed out of the door, and when he returned to his room, he still couldn't help but reach out and pat his hot cheek.

Be serious! Yan Gou is destined to have nothing!

What you fancy is Gu Chao's character, yes, it's character!

With a sigh of relief, Wei Lan sat down in front of the sewing machine, spread out her gown and prepared to remove the stitches.

The sewing machine is next to the desk where I usually write, and it is located next to the window, so that the light is good and does not hurt the eyes.

Cloth tickets are not easy to get, cloth is even more difficult to buy, although all the clothes are torn, Gu Chao still cherishes it very much, and the ragged gowns are usually worn rough and rough with heavy goods.

It is precisely because of this that the thin threads stitched on the shoulders, because Gu Chao once carried it or carried it through noon, those thin threads fell very tightly to the sides.

Wei Lan carefully picked out the threads with scissors, and there was no way to complete the task of removing the stitches quickly, so she could only use the tip of a needle to slowly pick them out.

The fabric is already very old, and the stitched places have been tightened and relaxed for many years, and the fabric will only deteriorate faster than in other places.

When the thread is picked up with the tip of the needle, the fabric that has been bound by the thread is suddenly liberated, and in an instant, the severely worn places scramble to take off the thread.

No, it doesn't work.

Wei Lanbei bit her lower lip lightly, her eyebrows frowned, she shook off her gown and looked back and forth, simply gave up removing the stitches, and went directly to the scissors, keeping the fabric that could be used as much as possible.

The operation was as fierce as a tiger, and when he saw that there were only four palm-length squares of fabric left in the end of a gown, Wei Lan was still shocked.

That's all there is left?

That's all there is left!

Indignantly put away all kinds of cloth, Wei Lan finally pulled three feet of brand-new cloth.

Prepare a notebook and pen, and under the guidance of Grandma Gu, clumsily measure the size.

Gu Chao measured the size, Grandma Gu had already remembered it, she didn't tell Wei Lan directly, she only let Wei Lan take the ruler and explore it by herself, if the amount was wrong, she would mention a few words.

Just like at this time, Gu Chao's shoulder width was 48, making Wei Lan 37.

If you want to say that it is a little bit worse, it is understandable, but this is a slap in the face!

Where is this to make clothes for Brother Chao'er?

Grandma Gu shook her head and sighed: "If he is a sister, he may be able to wear it when the time comes." ”

Wei Lan looked back at Grandma Gu, her face was full of innocent puzzlement, and she didn't lift the ruler in her hand or put it down, "Grandma, what's the problem?" ”

Grandma Gu held Wei Lan's hand by hand, and lifted the size to Gu Chao's back shoulder.

Gu Chao had muscles on his body, the back of his neck was all the way down, the muscles were bulging, and the ruler was flattened, so Grandma Gu pressed Wei Lan's hand and pressed the ruler down, "You use a little force, this ruler can't be broken." ”

Wei Lan was a little scared at first, but now when he heard this, he made a lot of effort in his hand, and the ruler was bent when he landed, and part of it was missing near the left shoulder.

The total length of the ruler is 40 centimeters, and the ruler is not enough to measure Gu Chao's shoulder width all day, Wei Lan only then woke up to what his problem was.

What a shame!

But the good thing is that they are all their own people.

After comforting himself in his heart, Wei Lan's nature of beating snakes and sticks came out again, pouting and coquettish at Grandma Gu, "It's not the first time for me!" Grandma is really, if only I had told me earlier. ”

"Told you earlier? If you don't find out the problem yourself, you will have to go back. Grandma Gu snorted.

Wei Lan didn't follow anymore, and was even more high-spirited, waving a ruler and saying something, "I don't believe it, grandma, let's wait and see." ”

If it weren't for feeling sorry for those cloths, Grandma Gu really wanted to see Wei Lan make a whole dress, but she found that Brother Chao couldn't wear it at all.

I was so angry that I jumped to my feet, and then I didn't know how long I would hide under the covers and cry.

Thinking about it like this, Grandma Gu felt funny again, "Okay, then I'll wait and see what golden lumps you can toss out." ”

After Grandma Gu finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Gu Chao, "Just give her the three-foot cloth, if it is broken, it will be broken, but you don't indulge her, let her feel that what she says is what she says." ”
