Inspiration (3)

"So, is this a new project?" He asked and she shook her head saying, "It's another part of the dress I tried on. I want it to be very abstract." He nodded and asked, "Is this your dress for Saturday?" She hesitated before nodding and saying, "I wanted to be a surprise but since you are already here, tell me what you think?" She showed him her sketches and he blinked, asking, "Are these the same fabrics as my suit's fabrics?"

She nods saying, "Since we are going as a couple, I thought it would be best to match unless?" He shook his head saying, "That's a great idea, I like that you made your dress also similar to a suit with these cuts."

Jian nods before getting up saying, "Great, I have to make a mockup for this new underdress then make the other dress, so I am going to be busy for a bit now, let me know if you finish work early. I could really use your help in curing all these small pieces."

He nods getting up to clean the kitchen as Jian walks out with the role of fabric. She started with the same process of tracing the correcting the pattern cutting and sew than making adjustments. It was around 2 when she had finished all the final adjustments and John also finished work as he asked her, "Jian, should we order lunch?" She nods, grabbing a bottle of water for the two of them saying, "Ya sure, what do you have in mind?"

"Sushi," he said, taking the bottle as she sat down next to him leaning back before saying, "Sure, do you have a menu?" He passed the phone to her as she ordered for them and he leaned back saying, "I think we have been productive enough today, no?"

Jian shook her head saying, "I need to finish at least the underdress and cut the rest of the other patterns before tomorrow so all I have to do is sew a little." He sighed watching her get up and stretch before walking inside her room.

He smiled watching as she unrolled the fabric after placing the patterns on the couch. "Come down here John," Jian said, and he pouted but she didn't budge as he quickly got up and stretched before listening to her. "I need you to cut these exactly like this since this already has seam allowance, also try to cut it gently please this is the only role that Isable has for this fabric."

He nodded and she smiled, pinning the pattern down before he started cutting them and as he finished the first roll, she got the other suit fabric out from the closet. She then pinned the patterns of the outer dress making sure the checkered lines matched the ends of each pattern to make the fabric more symmetric.

She then went inside to clean up the sewing table as John finished cutting both fabrics. "Jian, what do you wanna do with these fabrics?" John asked, pointing towards the cabbage fabric from the unused part of the roll. "Just cut this part off and roll it back up. You can place the small scraps in this bag," she replied, picking up the pinned pieces. He nodded as the two continued to clean there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it," John said walking towards the door, and Jian nodded, putting the vacuum back in the closet.

The two ate and relaxed for a few hours before Jian got back to sewing and Johnny laid down on her bed. It was in the evening when she finally finished sewing the underdress and she walked out grinning as she showed him asking, "What do you think?"

"It looks nice but isn't it a little too tight?" he asked, and she shook her head saying, "It's not, but anything else?" she asked, and he smiled saying, "Yes it looks gorgeous on you, plus the fading colors goes nicely with your skin tone." She nodded looking in the mirror, making a few poses as she said, "Right, I think this is enough sewing for today too." He nods asking her, "What about that white dress?"

"I am going to sew that by hand later on, but anyways I have questions about Sunday, is it a good place for photos?" Jain asked to walk out after changing and he took a few seconds before nodding, "Yes, which dress are you trying to shoot in?" She smiles saying, "The white one, of course." He nods saying, "Sure, I will take my camera."

"What do you wanna eat?" Jian asked, walking into the kitchen as John sat down asking, "What do you have?" She looked through the fridge saying, "How's pasta?" He nods, getting up asking, "Is there anything I can help with?"

"Cook the pasta, it's over in that cupboard," Jian said as she rinsed a few vegetables. He nods asking, "How much?"

"The whole box," she said as she turned and cut the veggies and he nodded. The two finished cooking and by the time Jessica got home the dinner table was all set. "Jian, I am home," Jessica said walking inside and she smiled at Johnny before walking into her room.

The three ate dinner before John left and Jian cleaned up the kitchen while Jessica went to bed early. She had to work the next day and she needed to sleep.
