Being a Life Player in the Middle Ages

Mia's design was quickly completed. Actually, there was nothing special that needed to be designed. People usually wore full-body robes. She simply changed the wide-sleeved robe into a narrow-sleeved and waisted design, and cut off the excess fabric to make the clothes more fitting and show off the figure.

In addition, she added pockets on both sides of the skirt and planned to equip the skirt with a belt. In this way, the modification of the waist of the clothes will not be so obvious. People will probably regard this change as the credit of the belt. Nowadays, people also wear belts when wearing Dalmatica, which makes themselves look more energetic and convenient for movement. Mia's belt is not unique.

In addition to the design of the outer robe, Mia also drew an apron. She planned to make two traditional British maid aprons with coarse linen. They would be ankle-length and wide at the waist so that they could still be used when she grew taller. The shoulder straps and hem of the apron would be decorated with ruffles, and then pockets would be added to the left and right sides of the front of the skirt. However, unlike the hidden slanted pockets on the outer robe, the pockets on the apron were patch pockets. She would cut the fabric into pockets of appropriate size and sew them directly onto the apron. The pockets could be made larger so that more things could be put in when needed, and the depth should also be paid attention to. She would also add a flap on it and sew buttons and buttonholes on it to prevent people from touching her bag when she went out. Although the security in their neighborhood was very good, it might not be the same in other places.

Of course, an apron is indispensable for a headscarf. Women of this era have gradually begun to use headscarves to wrap their hair, but women's hats have not yet appeared. Mia plans to do it all in one step and simply make a maid hat with straps and lace to match the apron.

As for petticoats, Mia doesn't plan to make them for the time being. She now has two pairs that can be changed and washed. Moreover, compared to petticoats, Mia would rather make two sets of linen autumn clothes and autumn trousers, which are close-fitting and warmer than petticoats, and are more comfortable as pajamas.

Finally, there is underwear. Her body has just begun to develop, so she doesn't need a bra for the time being, but she can make a few replacement vests to match the shorts.

And these were all drawn into designs by Mia.

After looking at the drawings Mia drew and listening to her explanation, Martha didn't say they were bad. Instead, she thought the pocket designs on the apron and clothes Mia drew were very good. She planned to use the remaining scraps to sew two pockets on her own apron after Mia's clothes were cut.

The next step is to measure Mia and then cut her clothes.

"You really don't need my help cutting it?"

Although the long skirt looked unchanged, it was much more complicated to sew than the Dalmatian loose-fitting tunic that was made by cutting the fabric into a cross shape, cutting a hole in the middle as a neckline, and then sewing the sleeves and sides together. Not to mention the apron and autumn clothes, which looked more complicated than Mia's modified waist-length skirt.

Martha doubted whether Mia could really make them, especially the cutting part, which was quite complicated.

"I can."

Mia drew the outline of the fabric on the cloth, then took the large scissors Martha gave her and started cutting confidently.

If Mia didn't have the golden finger of life skills, she really wouldn't be able to make clothes for herself, but now with the help of life skills, she has become a skilled master of life.

And sometimes Mia always felt that she possessed more than just the life skills given by the game. She could easily recall all the details and steps of any skill. Once, the needle and thread flew in her hands, embroidering delicate rose branches; the chisel leaped in her hands, carving out beautiful flowers; and now, the scissors shuttled in her hands, cutting out pieces of cloth of appropriate size.

There was no sense of incongruity as if she was being controlled, as when she was making equipment. Mia knew clearly that it was she who was cutting the cloth at this moment. The knowledge and operations derived from life skills were also integrated into her body and soul as the skills were loaded, becoming an inseparable part of her.

Mia also has an inexplicable intuition that even if her life skills suddenly disappear one day, the knowledge and operations left in her soul will not disappear.

Moreover, this method of simply making things according to one's own wishes is completely different from using skill formulas to make things. When she makes things, there will not be any mysterious situation like when she makes bracelets. Every move she makes is normal, and she does not have to worry about exposing her secrets. This is why she dares to make clothes with Martha.

Martha stared at Mia cutting the fabric, surprised and pleased. Mia was not exaggerating, her skills were really good, methodical, and she looked very skilled.

But it doesn't matter. Girls of any class have to learn these things from a young age. If they can't even do basic housework, they will be laughed at. This is especially true for girls from ordinary families. If their skills are poor and they can't even mend clothes, they will be at a great disadvantage when they reach marriageable age and will be picky about by men.

Mia quickly cut the pieces of fabric for a long outer robe and began sewing.

The needle and thread used for sewing were not provided by the system, but undyed linen thread bought at the market yesterday.

Martha watched her sew and noticed that the stitches on her sewed pieces were very fine, just like the stitches on the underwear she had seen last time. However, it was only then that Martha discovered that Mia was not sewing with their usual stitching method. Instead, she would sew one stitch forward, then go back and insert the needle at the previous eye and continue forward.

This is actually a stitch called "backstitch" that is similar to machine sewing, and it is the strongest and can prevent the fabric from unraveling.

Mia's stitching is very fast. She can sew several stitches at a time. The needle drops back and forth at several points, and finally pulls it up. Several centimeters of fabric have been sewn, and the sewn lines are straight and neat, just like those sewn by a sewing machine.

Not only that, after sewing the two pieces of fabric together, she went back and sewed them again, this time using an overlock needle to prevent the raw edges of the fabric from unraveling.

She sewed quickly and well, and her concentration made Martha give up the idea of ​​chatting with her. She lowered her head and quickened her work.

Excluding the time spent on drawing, Mia spent almost three hours on her first dress. This was because she used two stitches to sew all the seams to perfection, which was equivalent to making two skirts on one skirt. If only one stitch was used, the time could be halved.

Mia deliberately felt it. Although she was a little tired physically and mentally, it was not the feeling of consuming a lot of energy last night. It seemed that the sequelae of excessive fatigue only occurred when making equipment produced by the crafting system.

Mia was also very satisfied with the finished skirt. It was a blue long skirt made of fine linen. Fine linen fabric was more expensive than coarse linen, and since it was dyed, the price was even higher. But both Martha and Mia liked this fabric that was the same color as the sea. Mia was really good at bargaining, so in the end they succeeded in buying the fabric at a relatively satisfactory price.

——In contrast, Martha didn't like the other piece of black fine linen very much. She thought the color was too dull and not suitable for children. Moreover, in this era, black was given the color of sadness and death, and it was usually only worn by widows and people attending funerals.

But, Mia's father had just tragically passed away, so wasn't it only right for her to wear black?

So Martha didn't stop Mia from buying the black cloth, but she didn't know that Mia, who had completely forgotten her own personality, actually just liked black.

The long skirt, which is the same color as Cinderella's skirt produced by Mou Di, looks simple but is actually a European classic. The long skirt fits the body well and the sleeves are leg-of-mutton style. The sleeves are very loose from the shoulder to the forearm and gradually tighten near the wrist. It is named after its shape resembling a leg of lamb. It originated in the romantic period of the 19th century and has a strong European classical beauty, but Mia mainly likes it because it is beautiful and convenient, and she will not be restricted when doing things.

The lower skirt deliberately maintains the loose feeling of a traditional robe, and has a pleated effect when it hangs naturally. In addition, this skirt is prepared for summer, and the fine linen used is very light and thin, which naturally adds a sense of elegance to the skirt.

And considering that she would need to wear it when she grew taller, Mia deliberately reserved a part of the fabric for testing when making the skirt, so that she could continue to wear it when she grew taller, but it would not be visible from the outside and it would not affect the comfort of wearing.

Overall, it is very different from the "Dalmatian", but no one can say that this is not a good-looking skirt.

Martha liked it very much and urged Mia to try it on.

Mia quickly changed into her skirt. The new skirt was a bit cold to wear at this time, but it fit her body very well. Mia herself couldn't see the effect, but Martha's eyes lit up when she saw her in the new skirt.

"Mia, you look like a grown-up girl."

Thirteen years old was not considered young in the eyes of people of that time. Some girls of that age had even gotten married. Mia was only about 1.3 meters tall, which was not short among girls of the same age. But her face was very similar to her in her previous life, beautiful and delicate, but with undeveloped facial features that looked kind and pleasing, a look that the elders would like, but she looked a few years younger than her actual age.

But now she has changed her outfit, and the characteristics of a young girl are revealed. Her big and lively eyes are full of vitality, her hair is tied up and is black and thick, her pink lips are blooming like a flower bud, her snow-white skin is as delicate as milk, her long neck is as slender and soft as a swan, and her slim skirt reveals her straight back. She is graceful and elegant, and her pride and confidence, which are different from all women of this period, are fully revealed, and she is in high spirits.

Before long, her door would be broken down by so many marriage proposals.

Martha thought so and suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
