Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh, you've met?" Lizzy asked, looking first at Junko, and then at Siobhan, "That makes things much easier then, since there's no need for us to break the ice~!"

"Yeah! I met Siobhan awhile ago! She was getting stuff stuck in her hair, so I helped her." Because Junko was an expert on this. She turned to Siobhan with a huge smile.

"Okay! Let's start with something simple. Part of why I love kimonos so much is because I don't have to fight with my hair very much with putting them on. I like clothes that I can step into, or wrap around myself from underneath my hair. Basically, try to avoid things that go over your head if you can." Junko picked up her bag and put it on a desk. "Let's make..something very simple! A dress that zips up in the back that you can zip up. Short sleeves, very billowy." The ghoul took a notebook out of her bag, grabbed a pencil and started sketching. It was quick and very simple, but this was just to teach Sio how things worked.

Finally the ghoul held up the page for the two others to see. "Liiiiike this! What do you think?"

((HERE have a dress))

Siobhan blushed blue, smiling bashfully as they both explained their first encounters with her. "Ehehee.. I aplogize.. It is difficult to fully keep track of what my hair does, but I cannot fathom cutting it."

She nodded as Junko named off the sort of dress to make. "Yes! I love billowy!"

Oh! Oh that design! Siobhan gasped and lunged toward it, her hands wiggling over the image. "We will make this? I am so excited! OH OH OH! May we use this fabric?" The banshee leapt onto the floor for what useable fabric was left of the curtains she had taken apart.

"Apart from the occasional trim to get rid of split ends, I've never thought of cutting it either... Long hair is just really good for trying out new styles," Lizzy admitted with a soft chuckle; besides, she was sure that Junko would have something to say about hair chopping.

"Twelve foot of hair!" She echoed in awe, beaming along with her friend. She could never imagine herself with hair as long as that - it would probably break her neck! - but whatever made her soulmate proud made her proud too, "You'll soon have hair like Rapunzel's!"

Before her hair was brutally murdered, anyway.

"Well, the fabric used to make curtains and drapery are usually pretty heavy anyway, so for a dress like this, we might want to use something lighter for the frame," Nodding, she smiled sheepishly as she addressed Junko, "Which fabrics did you bring?"

Junko did not have anything to say about hair chopping simply because the very thought of it had crossed her mind for just a second and already had hands had started trembling. She simply gave a shaky little laugh and nod of her head before very eagerly attaching herself to the more cheerful topics. "Yeah! I still firmly believe Rapunzel's a futakuchi-onna." She gave a dreamy little sigh.

The ghoul was already opening her bag and placing sewing supplies on the desks while Lizzy explained to Sio why the curtains may not have been the best idea; a voodoo doll-shaped pin cushion stuck with pins and needles, a box of thread spools, her notebook, pencils, markers, tape, scissors, and finally a few different fabrics of varying length wrapped lovingly for safe keeping. There were a few colors; black, white, two different shades of purple, three different kinds of blues, and fifty two shades of gray. "Needles can be finicky sometimes. I've broken them before myself. Okay, I'm going to need your measurements, Siobhan." Junko picked up the tape measurer and gestured for the ghoul to come to her. "I won't need much for this, just your bust, hips, waist annnd I think I'll take height just for good measure."

"Are you trying to make a pun?"

"No, shut up." Junko waved a hand dismissively behind her in Her general direction. Stop that.

Siobhan gasped, leaning over the fabrics with wiggling fingers. "Ohhhh! The blues! The blues! I love blue!" She shrieked happily, squealing and bouncing in place. "How is it we make this wonderful fabric into a dress?"

Measurements? Ooooh well that would be useful! The ghoul shuffled closer to Junko, spreading her arms wide on either side t allow for proper measuring. "How exciting!" Siobhan does not have an indoor voice.

"I can not wait to learn to sew a dress. This will make growing my closet collection all the more easier on the pocketbook."

It was actually pretty endearing to see Siobhan so excited about making a dress. Her enthusiasm made her excited about this project as well.

"What Junko said, basically," Lizzy chuckled softly, "Pre-existing patterns can be found in places like craft stores... Or fabric stores. They're great for beginners, since they tell you were to cut, what to cut, and how much fabric you'll need! But we'll be drawing our own pattern today." They should probably start with something simple, and maybe give the pattern to Siobhan, so that she'll be able to practice in her free time.

"Let's continue in your room," She nodded, carefully folding the fabrics laid out on the table to make it easier to put them back into the bag, "Sewing it by hand... Will probably take us forever."

It would take them forever. And Siobhan was so excited! Junko took the folded fabrics after Lizzy was done with each one, carefully replacing it in her bag and hanging her bag from her shoulder. "Okay! Off we go!" It seemed Junko wasn't terribly concerned about the curtains.

She took Lizzy's hand and swung it between her and her best friend, looking to make sure Sio was following them before leading them out of the classroom and back to the Monster dorms.

Despite the confusing design of the dorms and the maze-like corridors Junko had no problem taking the two ghouls to her room, opening the door and putting the bag on her bed. The first thing she did was gather a few minipets and put them back into their pen. "Mommy has to work. You be good and stay in there." Sayuri barked and spun in circles until she got so dizzy she rolled onto her back and..kept...kicking her legs like she was running.

"...Good girl." Junko turned back to her friends. "Okay! So, pattern. That's not too hard to do. Lizzy, can you get the paper from my closet while I clear off the table?" She was already at the table and moving everything off it so they'd have space.
