Mr. Sun was really old, but he was still full of spirit. She had nothing to give, and thought that anything purchasable with money, Mr. Sun could buy himself. His deanor alone set him apart from ordinary people; it seed his household circumstances were pretty good. Mr. Sun had helped her, and without him, she might have lost her little stall in the park.
She felt the need to show her gratitude by giving sothing within her ans. After much thought, she decided that sothing handmade would be both presentable and heartfelt.
She made the soles of the shoes thicker than usual, which of course made stitching through them quite difficult. Fortunately, the needles provided by the system were much better than those available outside; with a punch and a long needle, she began to sew the soles. These soles were truly difficult to make; she spent most of her ti sewing soles and virtually the whole day inside. An hour outside was like ten hours inside, and she felt she could almost stay there for more than twenty hours.
It took her about two days to finish the soles; she didn’t know how long it actually took in reality, but most of her ti was spent in these adjusted periods.
For the uppers, she used black flat cloth which was quite simple, but at the edge of the shoe, she used embroidery to create a pattern of auspicious clouds, intricately and delicately done. She held the upper in front of her, very satisfied with her work. For the ornantation, she used a light golden color, which imdiately lifted the usually somber appearance of this type of shoe, adding a touch of opulence.
After stitching the upper to the sole, the system suddenly pinged a notification.
It indicated that the pair of shoes she made could be sold for 30 Gold Coins, which was a lot.
Qin Xiangnuan was really tempted to sell them; it was equal to her half-year’s milk money. However, after so thought, she decided against it. Once the shoes were ready, she started making clothes, crafting a set of Tang-style garnts for Mr. Sun in a dark red color sche.
Since there was no ready-made fabric, she had to embroider the patterns herself.
The material, bought from the system store, was a very ordinary one with a silk sheen. She first tailored it into the shape of the clothing, paying great attention to details, whether button loops or collar edges, and of course, everything was handmade by her.
The beauty of these clothes was that they could be made looser, and asurents didn’t need to be too precise, just close enough was sufficient. It would look very elegant once worn, especially since Mr. Sun had been a soldier; even though he was old now, his posture remained erect, and he looked good in anything he wore. Unfortunately, in this era, there were few styles of clothing and not many suitable designs, even in the Capital City where the only variety was in colors while the styles remained largely uniform.
For the top, she used book embroidery to create the "Hundred Longevity" pattern, putting a lot of thought into each stitch and thread. The pattern had to look good, and she carefully considered each location to embroider. While making the top, she didn’t just make a single layer; she crafted a thin quilted jacket with a layer of soft thin cotton sandwiched in between, feeling very tactile in hand. The trousers were black, made with an elastic waist, which she felt was more comfortable and convenient, especially suitable for the elderly.
