Spending My Retirement In A Game Chapter 14

"Eisen~? Where are we going now?" With a broad smile on her face, Bree followed closely behind Eisen as he used a bridge suspended in the center of the spiraling town to walk over to the other spiral, where Denmir explained to him he could find the Tailor.
"I''m going to learn Tailoring now. Are you going to help me out again?" Eisen asked and looked down next to him at the pink haired girl skipping around happily. Sure, she was older than she looked, maybe 18 or 19 years old, but he still couldn't help but treat her like a kid. The reason for that was pretty simple. She acted like a kid most of the time. She was nervous, fidgety, and acted a lot like his granddaughter who was barely 8 years old.
"Ooh~! That's so cool! And I'd love to help you!" She replied happily.
After about twenty minutes of searching for the Tailor, they come across a shop called Beautiful Clothes, a very straightforward, simple name.
Eisen stepped through the door and was greeted by a bright, neatly sorted storefront. Opposite to the entrance was the Front Desk. To the left side after entering were male Mannequins in different body types, one for Humans or Elves, one for Dwarves, and one for Beast-people, whereas the only real difference of the Beast-Person Mannequin was the short tail sticking out the back and the basic round ears on top. On the other side of the room were female Mannequins in the same body types.
In the center of the room were a few tables where different accessory items were displayed, such as small bags or purses made of fabric, as well as a few different hats.
There was a Dwarven woman, who basically had the same build as any other Dwarf Eisen had seen so far, just with a few more feminine features such as a thinner face and arms, sitting at the counter, drawing up different designs in a notebook.
"Ah, hello! How can I help you today?" She asked when she saw Bree and Eisen enter, barely looking up from the notebook. Eisen stepped up directly in front of the counter and leaned down a bit.
"Hello there, young lady, I'm Eisen. I would like to learn Tailoring from you." He explained simply with a light smile on his face.
The Dwarven woman turned her head upward, looking Eisen up and down. "Eisen? Are you the one Belrim and Denmir told me about?"
Eisen began scratching his beard and closed his eyes, nodding and smiling. "I'm sure I am, as long as there isn't a second Eisen in town, haha."
"Hmm, alright. But only because those two heavily recommended you. Come on, we'll do something easy to start off. Ah, by the way, I'm Folmirra Brighthood. Nice to meet you." Folmirra held her hand outward and Eisen shook it with a smile. It was only then that she noticed Bree standing behind him.

"Oh, and is that Bree? How are you?" She asked with a bright smile.
"I'm great! I've been following Eisen around for the day and it's been super fun~!"
"Is that so? Haha, well, then come along!"
She waved the both of them into the workshop in the back, where about a dozen women, the majority Dwarven, but also with a few humans and elves mixed in, were busy sewing different items.
Folmirra brought Eisen and Bree over to an empty table and brought a pink piece of fabric over.
"For now, I want you to make a purse. It's simple, and should be enough to get you the Tailoring skill."
[New Quest - Tailor Tutorial]
[Description]After requesting Folmirra Brighthood to teach you Tailoring, she asked you to create a small pink purse.
[Reward] Tailoring Skill; Experience
[Failure] Lowered Reputation with Folmirra
[Time Limit - None]
Folmirra then placed a roll of thin thread, a needle, and a pair of fabric scissors down in front of him. "You can use those if you want."
However, since Eisen already had the tools he needs, besides the string, he shook his head and took out the two storage boxes as well as the handle for the blades. "I've got my own, actually." He laughed softly and received a smile from Folmirra.
"Seems like you're well prepared, huh? Well, anyway. Here's how you have to cut it. Cut that shape twice, and then sew those halves together at the edge, but leave the top open. Then you only need to turn it inside out and add some thick string at the top so you can close it. If you need help with anything, just tell me, I'll be back out front." Folmirra explained and Eisen nodded.
Bree and Eisen sat down next to each other at the table and Eisen assembled his Exacto Knife. He opened the first box and grabbed one of the blades, then easily slipped it into the opening at the front of the handle and made sure it wouldn't slip out.
He placed the paper form on top of the fabric and carefully cut around it, making sure there aren't any mistakes. After finishing the two teardrop-shaped pieces of fabric, he set down the blade next to him on the table, and opened his needle box, and grabbed one of the needles out of it.
Eisen then took the end of the thread and carefully put it through the hole at the end of the needle, then tied a knot in the end.
After pondering about it for a few seconds, he decided to use a basic running stitch to sew the pieces of fabric together. And then he remembered one of the skills he hasn't been using at all up until now. One of his racial skills, A Dwarf's Hands. He activated the skill simply by thinking about it and instantly felt his fingers become more nimble. Now fully prepared to do this, he turned back to the fabric.

Since the top was supposed to stay open, Eisen began stitching at one side of the opening, and pushed the needle through the backside through both layers of fabric, then moved ahead a centimeter, and went back down through the fabric, moved another centimeter ahead and repeated the cycle until there was basically a frame all around the fabric, about one centimeter away from the edge.
To make the stitch stronger, and since this really didn't take too long, he turned the stitching around to basically 'fill the gaps' between the visible pieces of string, making it look like a continuous line.
He then cut off the two ends of the string and tied them together tightly so that they wouldn't fall apart.
As the second to last step, he turned the small pouch inside out, basically making the stitches invisible from the outside, and then grabbed a thicker piece of string, carefully trailing it around the opening in a manner similar to a running stitch, just with about five centimeters between each time the string was put through the fabric and without trailing it back to fill the gaps like before and cut the string off at the end. Lastly, he tied thick knots at into each end of the string.
[You made a Simple Pink Purse]
[Simple Pink Purse]
[Quality - Perfect][Rank - 0]
[Description]A simple purse made out of soft pink fabric. It's well-made and robust.
"Ooh, so pretty~!" Bree exclaimed while looking at the finished item, and Eisen laughed softly. "Yes, it really is, huh?"
The both of them stood up and went back to the storefront to show Folmirra the finished product and complete the quest.
"Oh? Do you need help with anything?" She asked when she saw Eisen and Bree step through the door to the Workshop.
Eisen shook his head and smiled, "Actually, I'm finished. Here's the purse."
Folmirra stared at the neatly sewed purse in front of her eyes, and then looked back at Eisen. "Did you really do this? But you don't even have the Tailoring skill yet!"
"Haha, yeah, but I used my racial skill, so I guess that helped a bit!" Eisen scratched his beard and closed his eyes while he explained, and Folmirra sighed loudly, "Right, I forgot you're half dwarf. That skill helped me out a bunch of times as well, especially in the beginning. But I have to say, even considering you used A Dwarf's Hands, this is really well made."

[Tailoring Skill Learned]
Eisen began to smile at the level-up message and thought about what stats to use them on.
Formilla held her hand to her chin and carefully observed the purse further, then looked up at Eisen to make him an offer. "Hmm, my stock in purses has gone down lately. If you feel like making some more for me, I'll pay you a little bit. It's an easy way to level your Tailoring skill as well. How does 5 copper per purse sound?"
He began to think and scratched his beard. The only things he had planned was to make a bag and some clothes, but it would probably be a good idea to get his skill level a little bit higher before that. Thus, he nodded with a smile, "That would be grand, thank you. How many do you need me to make?"
"For now, ten should be more than enough. At your speed, and since you should only get faster, for now at least, you should be able to finish it pretty quickly."

"Alright, sounds good to me. What fabric should I use?"
"Make three blue, three green, and three red. Those are sold most." The Dwarven Woman explained, "And then for the last one, use any fabric you think looks good."
Eisen nodded and turned around, walking back to the Workshop with Bree, who looked up at him and asked, "Can I help you somehow~?"
He thought about it for a bit and then nodded, "Yes, actually. I'll show you the fabric I'm going to use, and it would be a great help if you can get four rolls of string that look like each of the colors the most."
Happy that she can help Eisen, Bree smiled brightly and nodded, "Ookaay~!"
They walked over to the far side of the room to a wall with huge rolls of different fabrics packed so tightly together that they couldn't see the brick wall behind it. After picking out the three colors Filmorra specified, Eisen picked out a nice chrome white colored fabric for the last one. Once he showed those to Bree, she quickly ran off to get the string.
He then cut off some sheets of the fabrics, enough to make the ten purses and then brought them over to his table where Bree was already waiting for him with the right string.
"Thanks for the help, Bree." Eisen smiled and then sat down on a chair, preparing to craft the purses.
