3rd Design [voice]

[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.

....sewing.

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

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

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

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

That's what public education is all about, making students do things they're terrible at for a short while in the interests of a well-rounded education and character building.

I hope you're not afraid of my blood then.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I really rather you not. Be careful.

[risetwice.livejournal.com]

I'll do my best.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you will. That's all I ask.
