Chapter 80 Making Clothes for the First Time



Tang Xinyi took out two colors of Wadani fabric, one set was dark blue and the other was light gray.

The two sets of men's clothing are dark blue, and follow the style of the Zhongshan suit of that era, with two pockets on the upper chest and two larger pockets below.

Tang Xinyi also made a secret pocket inside the lining so that her family could put some private things, such as money and bills.

The lady chose light gray. At first, she wanted to make a modified version of Zhongshanzhuang, but then she thought that the weather would soon get cold in the autumn, so it would be better to make it a small suit style.

There are many similar elements between suits and Mao suits. You can make a slightly thicker coat for the women in your family so that they can be worn when the weather gets colder.

Then a dress was made for each person, using the most common floral fabric of the era, with puff sleeves and a mid-length style.

There is a pile collar in the front, a nipped waist, and a belt made of scraps.

The belt is solid color with pleats made of other floral fabrics.

If paired with a skirt, it will definitely attract attention.

After making a skirt, you must also make some hair accessories.

Tang Xinyi used the cut floral fabrics and some leftover scraps to make a little bear floral headband.

In one morning, she cut all the clothes and sorted them aside.

At noon, Jiang Yanli was still operating the sewing machine in the house, while she went to make lunch.

After the parents-in-law finished their meal and went to the fields, the two continued to work.

The two of them worked tirelessly, and finally finished making two sets of clothes for their parents-in-law in the afternoon.

Long skirts that could be worn at this time were also made.

There are still three sets of women's modified coats that have not been completed, but there is no rush, there is still time in the evening anyway.

After dinner, Tang Xinyi gave the suits she made for her parents-in-law to them and asked them to put them on to show their family.

This is also to test whether your cutting techniques are rusty.

In addition, before making the clothes, she did not carefully measure the size of her parents-in-law, but just used her own visual estimation as a basis and relaxed the size a little.

In the countryside, we have to work every day, so slightly looser clothes are more comfortable to wear.

"It fits me perfectly. The dress is very neatly made. I can wear it out when I have a meeting!"

Jiang Xian changed his clothes and came out, walking around the main room twice.

Either he brushed his shoulders or patted his hem.

Tang Xinyi and Jiang Yanli laughed at what they saw.

"My daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is excellent. This dress is even better looking than the ones sold at the supply and marketing cooperative!"

After Zheng Xiulian changed her clothes, she found that the clothes were similar to her old man's Zhongshan suit, but there were slight differences.

The waistline is shown very nicely when worn, and the cloth pockets are big enough. Although there are two fewer cloth pockets than the old man's clothes, it gives people a neat and energetic feeling when worn.

There is also an invisible pocket inside the clothes, so you can put some money and bills in it without worrying about losing them when you go out.

"Mom and Dad, as long as you like it!"

"Mom, we made three more skirts. You can pick one and try it on later!"

Tang Xinyi looked at the two old people with a smile. These two were not like the old people in other families. When she made clothes for them, they would complain about this and that, complaining that their family members did not know how to live.

Both of them put them on happily and did not hesitate to give compliments.

"And a skirt?"

Zheng Xiulian didn't expect that they also made skirts, so she immediately went to her daughter-in-law's room, picked out a dark-colored floral skirt, and put it on immediately.

"Yes, I've seen people wearing floral dresses like this in town."

"But what you made is even better looking than what those people in town wear. You even have a belt!"

"But I don't like this collar in front of me. It would be better if it could be replaced with a lapel!"

After all, Zheng Xiulian is old and doesn't like such complicated things.

On the contrary, Jiang Yanli, the sister-in-law, is too fond of that Duidu.

"It's not easy to get a lapel. Just take off your skirt and I'll alter it for you."

Tang Xinyi didn't think her mother-in-law's request was troublesome. Instead, she went to the fabric and chose a color that matched the skirt, made a lapel, and redid it for her mother-in-law.

When you wear new clothes, you have to like them so that you can wear them happily.

Zheng Xiulian put on the dress she was satisfied with and returned to her room happily.

Jiang Yanli also changed into her dress and tied the belt to perfectly outline her waist.

Besides, there is no short person in the Jiang family.

Jiang Yanli's height is almost 1.7 meters.

Even though Tang Xinyi often fed herself calcium-rich foods, her height did not grow any higher after reaching 1.65 meters.

Although 1.65 meters is not considered short in the Tang family, he always feels much shorter in front of the Jiang family.

Fortunately, the Jiang family didn’t care, otherwise Tang Xinyi would have been depressed.

Day 2.

Jiang Yanli changed into her newly made dress early in the morning, and paired it with a bear floral bow hair accessory made by her sister-in-law.

He happily rode his bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Her sister-in-law was with her yesterday, but today Tang Xinyi was the only one left at home.

She thought that she was free anyway, and now was the time when she was in the mood for making clothes, so she took a few pieces of floral fabrics of different colors and made a few tops of different styles.

The shirts have V-necks, sweetheart necklines, lapel collars, and doll collars.

There are pleats on the waist, and the sleeves can be long or short.

Anyway, I have time to make a few more and keep them for later wear.

After making the clothes, I made the pants.

She made some straight-leg pants and wide-leg pants, and even made two culottes, intending to share them with her sister-in-law.

You know, my sister-in-law always wore long sleeves and long pants, and I have never seen her wear a skirt.

It was because she did it yesterday that her sister-in-law wore a skirt in front of her for the first time, and she seemed to like it very much.

Several days passed quickly as Tang Xinyi was busy with all kinds of fabrics.

All the grain in the fields has been harvested. After the village chief organized people to pay the public grain of their village, he asked the villagers to start planting the next season's grain.

After the housework was almost done and Zheng Xiulian no longer had to go to work every day, Tang Xinyi returned to the supply and marketing cooperative to continue working.

She was about to get moldy staying at home these days, and the air outside was indeed fresher.

I sat in the back seat of my sister-in-law's car. She had tied a thick cushion on the seat so my butt wouldn't be shaken at all.

The two of them talked and laughed along the way and arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative happily.

She arrived early today and not all the employees in the supply and marketing cooperative were in place yet. After saying goodbye to her sister-in-law, she went straight up to the second floor.
