Scarves are love! [Solo/Crafting]

[cymakara]

It had been awhile since the last time he had tried to make scarves.. Last time was with a friend he hadn't seen in a long time... He hoped she was ok... But it was time again to put his needle to the test. First thing was first, he made a trip through the market. He stuck to NPC vendors where he could, as players... Well... Players. It was all low level materials for him, nothing he was really afraid that he couldn't obtain. Just some Fabric, some string... Maybe a bit of a soft material that would feel good around the neck... He didn't think anyone would really want to purchase these things, after all, but it was nice to have them readilly avaliable should the offer ever come up from someone. He found himself a good spot away from people, sitting down as he sighs through his nose a little bit. Calming down, as he laid out his materials before him. The first part was the easiest, taking what would be the majority of the scarf and wrapping it around his own neck a few times, trying to find what would be an appropriate length. Of course, forgetting his body was a little bit larger than most so... Consider these some extra long scarves. Laying them out, as he worked to break the current project down to a proper length. It took some time, as he didn't want to break or sever the fabric in any way. A brute with a careful touch.

Once the length of the scarf was cut down to appropriate, he grabbed his needle and thread. Taking care to try to thread the needle, and failing quite a bit. After all, his hands were made for punching, not very delicate work such as this. After several tries, he finally got the string through the loop, and smiled, pulling it through before reaching down to start sewing... Only as he does so, he realizes he forgot to tie off the thread. Immediatly losing the hard work just threading the needle as he closed his eyes, screaming internally before wasting more time on the task once more. Finally, he ensured he had the thread safely locked down, and began to sew the bulk of the material. Slowly, surely, no rushing done as he knew rushing art meant ruining art. He would blush a little when people passed by... Such a gentle giant, he had to appear right now, and in this game that was terrible. It took what felt hours just to get the first set of stitches done. Making sure that the edges of the material weren't just sewn once, not twice, but three times. As he did this he eyed over his work, smiling a little to himself. He felt pride in what he was doing. It wasn't just sitting around and being lazy any-.. OUCH! Stabbing his finger by accident, he swore and sucked on the wound to stop the bleeding. Ok, no more dozing off... This scarf was no where near done just yet.

As the final thread was put through the scarf, he sat back. Something wasn't right... He knew what it was. It lacked... Style. He smiled a little bit, and took some of the other fabric he had bought. Silk. It was soft, breathed with ease, and would feel better around the neck than the fabric he had purchased to keep them warm. He worked out a small pattern to put onto the scarf using the silks. The pattern was simple, He'd cover the uncomfortable fabric over with a glaze of purple silk, before sewing in the design for some white flowers all across the scarf. It was beautiful, and.. Well hell, even this giant would wear it. He worked on sewing the coating first, covering all that he could of the original material with the purple silk, running his hand along it to feel how softer it was. Then, he would work to sew in the flowers, cutting up small pieces of silk and sewing it all together. Lovely little Lotus flowers starting to appear all along the scarf. It was... Really girly, when he really got a chance to look at it, but in the end it was what he signed up for. When the final lotus was sewn into the scarf, he put away his tools, and stood up. He analyzed the scarf for a quick moment, then pulled it around his neck. It was warm, really warm... Maybe other people would like to buy these after all... Well... Maybe they would if you found the right people.
