Not only was he relieved, he also couldn't help but sigh: I'm finally not afraid that my younger sister will starve to death in the future. With this skill, she will definitely be able to support herself.
After seeing the end, she said with pride, "As expected of the daughter of the Song family, even though she's not a good seamstress, she has an incredible talent for design. If this dress is made, it will definitely be very popular."
Although Song Tanglan was very pleased to be praised, she couldn't help feeling guilty when she thought that these drawings were not designed by her but were drawn according to the styles of her previous life.
But she had no way to explain to her second sister the origin of the drawing, so she could only change the subject.
"Second sister, look at this down jacket, is it difficult to make?"
"It's not difficult. I'll teach you."
Song Tangcheng spent several hours teaching Song Tanglan how to draw lines and cut, and also carefully taught her how to use the sewing machine.
He even tried to sew it for her to see, and soon half of the vest appeared in front of her.
Seeing this, Song Tanglan was still eager to try.
Song Tangcheng made room for her to try it out. He watched her clumsily cut the fabric and sew it up quickly. He took it and checked it, and found that the sewing was very good. Although it was a little crooked, it was not a big problem.
Seeing this, Song Tangcheng asked her to cut off the remaining part of the down jacket.
The down vest they are making now is made for Mumu. The size is specially enlarged so that Mumu can wear it without any problem until he is seven or eight years old. This vest also has a hood on the back.
After sewing the fabric and leaving holes for filling the down, the two began to stuff the duck down.
Because duck feathers are too fluffy, less than 200 grams of duck down is used in a down jacket. If it weren't for the aesthetics, Song Tanglan would have wanted to stuff some more in.
After filling the down and sewing the remaining edges, start to shake the down evenly, fix it with a sewing machine, sew on the zipper you bought, and the jacket is completely finished.
Song Tangcheng was very surprised to see the vest he had just made. He touched it in his hands and found that it was very soft and warm.
"Lanlan, this duck feather coat is really warm!"
"Second sister, this is called a down jacket, not a duck feather jacket. I just said it's very warm and light, and it's not bulky to wear."
Song Tanglan was very proud looking at the freshly made down jacket. It really took her a lot of effort to make this down jacket, and there were also hundreds of ducks and geese with bald spots here and there.
"No wonder you had people go to so much trouble to get duck feathers. If we had known earlier, we would have gotten more."
Song Tangcheng couldn't let go of the quilt in her hand. She thought about how they had to cover themselves with thick quilts every winter. Now they had such a light quilt that was so warm. How could she not be moved?
But when she thought about the duck feathers in her little sister's hands, they were exchanged for hundreds of ducks.
Suddenly I felt that the down jacket in my hand was even harder to come by.
"It's okay. We still have so many duck feathers on hand. We should be able to make a few more coats."
Song Tanglan didn't care much about this. She had just checked and found that not many duck feathers were used to make this down jacket.
Apart from making two pieces for the two little ones at home, I think there should be a lot left.
"How can I do that? Let's make yours first. We already know how to make it, so we can make it later. Besides, you're getting married this year. After you finish making the quilt, you can use the rest to make coats for the three people in Xiaoqi's family. That way, you don't have to worry about what clothes to make."
"Second sister, there are still so many duck downs. If it's not enough, we can collect another batch before the New Year. By then, they will all be killing ducks and geese, so there must be a lot."
"That's fine, Lanlan, you can cooperate with Xiaoqi. Maybe you can make a lot of money again!"
"Sure, that's what I was planning!" Song Tanglan had this plan when he was drawing the design.
Although she knew that there was a shortage of material goods in this era, women and children's money was the easiest to earn in any era, and she could guarantee that as long as the down jackets were made, they would definitely sell well.
Maybe they won't sell many pieces in places like theirs, but if they move to big cities, they will be really hot commodities, and Xu Qi has a wide network of contacts.
I'm not afraid of not being able to sell it.
