Chapter 2238 - I’ve Gained an Epiphany!
Chapter 2238: I’ve Gained an Epiphany!
“I’ve gained an epiphany.” Amy looked at Annie and nodded as she said, “Now, I know how to cut out pretty bags and clothes.”
“Clothes too?” Annie pointed at her clothes in shock.
“Mm.” Amy nodded. She looked around and her gaze landed on Ugly Duckling. She smiled.
Ugly Duckling cowered in Annie’s embrace with a bad feeling.
“I’ll make Ugly Duckling something to wear. Everyone is wearing clothes and it’s the only one that is naked. Shameful.” Amy started looking for suitable cloth among the materials.
Ugly Duckling reached its fat paws out to indicate that it had a natural fur coat.
However, Amy ignored it.
“I’ll make something pink. Maybe it’ll make it look cuter.” Amy picked up the leftover pink cloth and held it against Ugly Duckling. After a while, she started cutting the cloth up.
Miya, who was just watching the show from the side, started to open her mouth wider. Amy, who could not even cut a straight line before, was now cutting out symmetrical curves which were even more accurate than the lines Annie drew for her just now.
The cloth was quickly cut into shape. Annie and Miya were both shocked by her skills and her look of ease.
After cutting the cloth up, Amy picked up the needle and thread at the side and started sewing.
This time, she no longer had running thread ends. The stitches were even and close, and on top of that, they were hidden perfectly in the garment.
“Most tailors won’t be able to obtain this level of mastery. How did Amy baby suddenly learn all that?” Miya exclaimed. She was someone who could barely patch her clothes properly.
Upon hearing that, Mag walked out of the kitchen. He watched as Amy stitched the cloth together and raised an eyebrow. It looked like the System’s reward had been credited. It was probably related to tailoring.
Mm. It did look quite good but this was a rather useless reward.
Who would have so many clothes at home to tailor?
One would have to go out and spend money on clothes to experience the charm of money. Women had many sources of joy and if she were to make her own clothes, wouldn’t she be removing one of the biggest joys?
Very quickly, Amy was done making a new raincoat for Ugly Duckling.
“Ugly Duckling, come and try your new raincoat.” Amy beckoned Ugly Duckling over.
Ugly Duckling glanced at the pink raincoat in Amy’s hands and was a little resistant. However, it still crawled out of Annie’s embrace obediently and leaped over to Amy.
Amy carried it over and put the raincoat over it.
The cloth was a little stiff and water-resistant so Amy designed it to be a raincoat.
The raincoat around the waist area was cinched in and so were the areas around the four legs so that the raincoat would not drag on the ground. After its fur coat was contained by the raincoat, Ugly Duckling appeared much smaller.
A hood was also designed for Ugly Duckling’s head and there were even two small ears added to the hood, which fitted its ears perfectly.
The pink color, paired up with Ugly Duckling’s round face and large eyes, made it look very cute.
“Good girl.” Miya pinched Ugly Duckling’s fat face and said with a smile, “Now, you’ve become Little Sister Ugly Duckling.”
Annie looked at Ugly Duckling in admiration and stuck out her thumb at Amy, saying, “Looks good.”
“Amy baby is very impressive. You can even make clothes now. I can’t even thread a needle,” Firis exclaimed as she peeked out of the kitchen.
“Yeah. Your skills are better than our family’s tailor.” Babla looked at Ugly Duckling in surprise. It was her favorite color, pink. After that, she looked at Amy and said with a smile, “Amy baby, why don’t you make me a dress? I’ll give you some sweets.”
“What sweets?” Amy’s eyes lit up upon hearing about food.
“It’s the moon sweet that is only found on the moon. I got them to bring some for me the next time they drop by. It’s soft and sweet. Very delicious.” Babla highly recommended them.
“Alright, alright. I want to try the moon sweet.” Amy swallowed her saliva. She looked at Babla and said, “In that case, Big Sister Babla, what kind of dress would you like?”
“I want…” Babla was stumped. She wanted a pretty dress but this was obviously not the answer Amy was looking for. She looked around and asked Annie, “Annie Baby, can you design a beautiful little dress for me? I’ll get them to bring a coloring book from the moon next time. There are many impressive artists in Moon Nation.”
Annie looked interested and after thinking for a while, she agreed.
“Good.” Babla smiled. Annie could draw beautiful clothes. She’s a reliable person to depend on for designing.
While the others exclaimed, they were not in a hurry to pre order their clothes. After all, Amy could not even hold the scissors properly previously. The leap from that to a master in tailoring was rather big.
Amy admired her work for a while and removed the raincoat for Ugly Duckling.
This material was rather stiff and would be suitable to wear for show but not comfortable to wear on a day-to-day basis.
She would go upstairs to search a little for a more comfortable material to make a new shirt for Ugly Duckling.
“Tailoring seemed rather fun.” Amy felt a huge sense of accomplishment after receiving praises from everyone. She was no longer that resistant to being a tailor.
Of course, the most important thing was that she could tailor clothes in exchange for food.

“Young Mistress, the factory production right now can be expanded. We could perhaps consider opening a branch. This is the report for Rodu, Demon Islands, and Dragon Island.” Mars placed a thick stack of information on Gloria’s table.
Gloria did not look over the information immediately. Instead, she looked at Mars and said, “Which area is the best to open our first branch?”
“According to the report, Rodu should be the best because there are the most nobility in Rodu that have high purchasing power. On top of that, humans have a more consistent figure so it would be easier to control our clothes’ sizing. This would largely reduce our cost for materials compared to the other races that differ greatly in size. This is also something we learned through experience in Blue Suede,” Mars replied.
“It aligns with my thinking. If we were to open a new shop in Rodu, we can use the same batch of products as Blue Suede.” Gloria nodded. She looked at Mars and said, “I need someone with capabilities to open up a new market in Rodu. Mars, I might need you to go there.”
Mars was rather surprised. He said, “Young Mistress, I am more willing to stay by your side to help you.”
“You know it too. I don’t have many people around me that I trust. Cyril and Grandmother are back and have been kicking up a fuss recently. I need better results to shut their mouths,” Gloria said.
“Thank you for your trust.” Mars bowed. After that, he stood up straight and said, “I am willing to go to Rodu on your behalf to open up a new market.”
