Suit's Progress

John followed Jian to her room as she reached for a hanger in her closet. "Here it is, I know it looks messy but you have to trust the process, anyways the pants are done, so you can try them on in there?" She said pointing towards the restroom and he walked inside coming out after a few minutes.

"Is it tight anywhere?" She asked noticing he wasn't walking properly, he shook his head saying, "Not tight just a little different, the darts feel uncomfortable and it is a little tight around the thigh." His tone went down to a soft whisper as he admitted the tightness of the pants. Jian nodded writing it down and then passed a vest to him.

It looked like it was done and the double-breasted vest created a nice refined look, she smiled putting a few pins in as she noted a few more corrections with some wrinkles in the back. "How are you going to finish the buttons?" John asked noticing there were none so far. She smiled saying, "Normally everything is done by hand so it's going to take me a few more weeks to finish sewing the details nicely. Also, I made a lot of changes as I worked since sticking to the pattern for this fabric didn't work."

He nodded as she passed the coat to him and it was true the coat was held together by mostly pins and not a lot of thread but she made it work as she slowly figured out the areas that needed work and then remembered, "John you know how there is usually padding in the coat right, I need to go buy the supplies soon, do you have a think you can pick them up tomorrow on your way here, I will make the order and give you the money today and all you have to do is pick it up and bring it here. What do you think?" She asked helping him take the coat off.

"Sure I can pick them up just send the details, also no need to sweat about the cost I will hand it in." He said with a gentle tone. Jian said sure as he opened a conversation, "You excited for the quince?" She smiled responding, "Yes I am, you?" He nodded then asked, "What about the birthday girl how is she feeling, or did you not see her yet?"

Jian smiled thinking about the day before responding with an excited tone, "She is very happy, bubbling about the party but she does seem a little stressed about it, I guess that's to come when you are planning for a few hundred people to attend."

John nodded and then proceed to the restroom while Jian walked outside placing the coat on the hanger before leaving. She saw her mother moving the food to the table so she went to help out. That night the three enjoyed a wonderful homemade dinner with pleasant conversations about the quince coming up.
