3rd Design [voice]

[threadthefire]

[There's a very dry and quite possibly bored sounding voice on the line.]

Attention Westerberg High Home Economics students.

Let's aim high, shall we? Or at least higher than your normal, run-of-the-mill examples of mediocrity. Your sewing samples are due at the end of the week, remember - you fingers are not fabric, kindly keep them out of the way of the needles. The school nurse and I appreciate it.

Performers in this semester's theatrical production, you have three days to come by my office for measurements. My free period is after last lunch. That's three days, not "When I feel like it."

Additionally, Tarrant has decided to start a Sewing Club, something I think we all could benefit from judging from the fashions I witnessed these first few days. Perhaps this is the year one of you will show some initiative and actually design original prom wear instead of settling for some off-the-rack taffeta disaster.

...or perhaps not.

You let them back at the needles after that?

no prob, i'm off soon, too

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Well, usually once is enough to teach that lesson. After that they're much more respectful of the equipment.

[aimandfire.livejournal.com]

Or they get someone else to do the work for them.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, I'd like to discourage that if at all possible, we do have strict rules about cheating.

You do know that sewing isn't normally a skill everyone excels at ever, right?

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

But they can at least learn to stitch in a straight line.

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

...I can't even stitch in a straight line.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Which is why there are classes.

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

Teach me, Cinna? [Puppy dog eyes here. Even a pout.]

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

[God save him from highschoolers.]

It is a required course, Mr. Harris.

I have two signatures already!

..hem.

Sorry.

Excited. Something.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Congratulations.

[10shlling6pence.livejournal.com]

Thanks. And--thanks for the blurb, sir...I really do appreciate it. I only hope I can--keep this up, y'know--? I mean--..not..make it boring. Something.

You--need help on the new production, right? Is there a color pallet you want to work with?

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Earth tones, mostly, with some accents here an there to keep it interesting.

I do hope I can rely on you for assistance? You were a great help on the last production.

[10shlling6pence.livejournal.com]

I'll pull some swatches and reams today and have you look at them tomorrow--I think we have some interesting textures in storage...

Of--of course! I'm completely there. I mean, I had a lot of fun last time--It'd be my pleasure to.

....sewing.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

...you have something to add to that statement?

[risetwice.livejournal.com]

I spent the summer modeling for Portia. Can't I be excused?

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Clubs are optional, Peeta. Class is not, and modeling isn't doing.

[risetwice.livejournal.com]

But I'm really terrible at sewing. I can paint it for you!

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Tarrant's sewing club looks really cool...I signed up, it seems like it'll be fun! He makes neat hats.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

That he does, he's one of my best students. Looking to follow in his footsteps, Hanna?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Well, it'd certainly be helpful to know how to make clothes...or at least fix them up...

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm certain you'll get at least that.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Well, Tarrant knows his stuff, so I know he'll do a good job teaching everybody in the club.
