Chapter 222: Miss Jin makes clothes for the first time
Hong Jiasheng and Jiang Huaijing agreed and asked Bai Wei to continue his research.
The two of them left Bai Wei's house afterwards, but Jin Tiantian stayed and waved to Xiao Meng.
"Hey, go get me a bench."
Jin Tiantian was used to making requests, so Xiao Meng didn't mind and went to bring out a bench for her.
She sat on a bench and watched the military wives in Baiwei Academy making clothes.
At first, Jin Tiantian was just curious, but gradually, she watched Bai Wei teach so carefully, designing, selecting materials, cutting, sewing, and teaching every step step by step.
"Hey! I want to try it!"
Jin Tiantian looked at Bai Wei somewhat awkwardly.
Watching the military wives slowly making clothes by themselves, and making them look pretty good, Jin Tiantian became interested in something for the first time.
This darling little princess in the Beijing circle has even started to think about making a piece of clothing herself.
"You can do it on my table. I have fabric here too."
Bai Wei pointed to the table next to her.
Although she could feel that Jin Tiantian was hostile towards her, she did not feel that way towards Jin Tiantian. To her, she treated everyone equally.
"Your fabric is terrible!"
Jin Tiantian frowned and took the cloth that Bai Wei had placed on the table. She felt it was a little prickly to touch.
The worst fabric in her clothes is much better than this.
"Comrade Jin, these fabrics were bought by us when we were frugal. Many of them were wedding dowries. This is already a good amount."
Zhao Fengzhu stepped forward and said something.
The other military wives also nodded.
These fabrics were stored at the bottom of their boxes and were considered the best fabrics they could offer.
"You... is this the best you can get? Are you soldiers so poor?"
Jin Tiantian asked curiously.
Her words were very direct, and if it were someone else, they would think she was insulting them.
Bai Wei knew that this was what she was thinking in her heart.
"Comrade Jin, the wives of soldiers who follow the army have a very hard life. The men in the family risk their lives on the battlefield, and they can only stay at home and do the work in the rear. Soldiers have limited salaries, so they save as much as they can, and they save from their own pockets. As for this piece of fabric, you may not think it is good, but it is the most impressive thing they have."
Her words were very soft, but all the military wives lowered their heads silently.
Only Bai Wei knew the pain in their hearts.
The family lives on the man's salary, and it is not easy to live an easy life.
Bai Wei looked at the old silken threads in the wives' hands and the rough cloth on their bodies. She was thinking in her heart that now she was also a part of them and if she could make money, she would definitely bring them along to make money!
"Is that so..."
Jin Tiantian looked at everyone and lowered her head.
She had always been accustomed to a life of luxury and indeed did not know the sufferings of the world.
"Okay, you teach me first! I want to make a coat too!"
Jin Tiantian picked up the cloth and stopped complaining about the cloth cutting her hands. Instead, she wanted to learn from Bai Wei.
Even Bai Wei didn't expect that this young lady who looked so noble and adorable actually had a talent for making clothes!
When it comes to design and tailoring, the alignment of fabrics, and sewing, Jin Tiantian really gets it right the minute she gets it.
It took others half a day to make a coat, but she only took more than two hours to successfully make one.
"Bai Wei, look, what do you think?"
Jin Tiantian took out the coat in her hand and shook it.
Even Bai Wei's eyes lit up.
Among the finished products made by military wives, Jin Tiantian's coat is the closest to her level.
Most importantly, it was her first time!
It was just her first time, and although her needlework was not very good when sewing, and Bai Wei had to help her adjust the thread, she did the other steps very smoothly.
"Comrade Jin, your coat is so beautiful! It's almost the same as Bai Wei's!"
"That's right, is this really your first time making clothes? I really can't tell!"
"Comrade Xiao Jin is so good at making clothes, he must be a natural! He is different from us."
Zhao Fengzhu and others all gathered around and kept praising the coat in Jin Tiantian's hand.
"Comrade Jin, please try it on."
Bai Wei waved towards Jin Tiantian.
Jin Tiantian nodded and put on the coat.
She is very beautiful, and Bai Wei measured her body shape and had the coat made according to her measurements. It fits her perfectly when she puts it on.
"Oh my god! I told you she's from Beijing, so she's dressed in a fashionable way."
"Yes, I think this dress looks really good on you."
"Bai Wei, I think Comrade Jin is about to surpass you."
The military wives were all generous in praising Jin Tiantian.
The most important point is that she did a really good job and her clothes looked really good.
She is tall, and when she puts on this coat, she really looks like a model.
Bai Wei looked up and down at Jin Tiantian in front of him. The more he looked, the more he felt that something was missing.
"Wait a minute."
Bai Wei returned to the house and took out the cloth that she had used to make clothes for Xiao Meng. She quickly cut off a piece of the cloth, took it out and sewed it together again to make a large red scarf.
She also cut tassel-shaped fringe at both ends of the scarf, which instantly gave it a sense of design.
"Here, put this on."
Bai Wei wrapped the tassel scarf around Jin Tiantian's neck. The festive red scarf paired with her coat set off her snow-white face, making her look even more charming and beautiful.
