[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

It is not difficult to do it, and Elizabeth and Mary decided on it after discussing it.

Use a piece of pink or flesh-colored cloth to wrap the unnecessary rags, thread, wool, cotton, etc. into a circle to make the head, use two buttons to make the eyes, and then sew the mouth.Use some brown gold or black wool thread to make hair and sew it on the head, and then sew a small soft hat to cover it.

Next, use the cloth cut into a conical shape to sew a skirt, and then use the same color cloth as the head to sew into finger-sized pockets, put rags on them as arms and sew them on both sides of the body, and the simple doll is ready.If you want to be more precise, you can sew a circle of lace to the clothes and add a pocket or something.

Easier to think than to do, Elizabeth and Mary finally overcame the difficulties of "the head cannot be rounded", "the hair cannot be sewn", "the size of the hat is wrongly estimated", "the proportion of the skirt is strange" and other difficulties, and put the first rag doll It's done.

The part that drove the two of them crazy was the eyes, because after finishing it, they found that the head of the rag doll was much smaller than expected, and the buttons prepared in advance were too big and inappropriate. Finally, Elizabeth came up with the Method: sew a cross on the eye area, and then use thread to wrap the cross around, pretending to be a button.

The doll was ready, and Elizabeth and Mary looked at each other holding it.Really, I really can't say against my will that this is a beautiful doll~

"I think it's ugly," murmured Mary. "Maybe we should ask Mummy or Jane."

Although Elizabeth was not convinced, her original intention was to hope that the recipient of the doll would be happy instead of crying out of fright. She sighed and agreed, "Let's ask Jane first."

"Pfft... ahahaha, what is this? A horror doll?" Jane felt that this thing really looked like the kind of horror doll that often appeared in horror movies, heralding scary scenes.

Elizabeth: (o‵-′)ノ

Mary: o(一︿一+)o

As for laughing like this?You'll attract others like this!

"Okay, I won't laugh anymore." Seeing the two younger sisters roll their eyes together, Jane finally stopped laughing, and now she knows that the intelligence of these two people is not based on female celebrities.

"Actually, you can make it smaller or bigger. If you are smaller, you can directly use button knots to make eyes, and if you are larger, you can cut out eyes with cloth pieces and sew them on." Jane found a notebook and began to draw for Elizabeth and Mary. Look, "Drawing a blueprint beforehand will get twice the result with half the effort, and you shouldn't omit the body part, or it will be like this in the middle, flat, unless you are doing finger puppets."

With Jane's participation, the production of rag dolls suddenly became clear.Jane used to be a handicraft expert, and she knows a lot.

Jane cut a paper model and asked Elizabeth to cut out shapes out of cloth.Rag dolls are indeed quite simple, but it also depends on who makes them~ Jane smacked her lips secretly, feeling domineering and cute (≧V≦*).

The round cloth is sewn into a head, which is stuffed with cloth and thread, and the front is sewn with a button knot to make pea eyes, the upper thread is used as eyebrows, and the middle of the curved thread below is used as a mouth.Elizabeth and Mary suddenly realized, and understood a little.

Then Jane let Elizabeth and Mary do it by themselves, also made the torso and limbs stuffed with rags, sewed all the parts of the body together, and the simple doll was ready.

But no clothes yet!The skirt can be made into two front and back pieces and then sewed directly. If you want, you can also sew a small boot.

Drawings should also be drawn on the hat, so that the size of the cut out is suitable. The braid made of wool thread is sewn on the top of the head with thin thread, and then the hat is sewn, Dangdang~ the doll is ready.

This time the doll is considered cute. It is much better than the one Elizabeth and Mary made before. Both Elizabeth and Mary couldn’t put it down. This is the doll they made by themselves~

"Okay, now you can try it yourself." Jane stood up and patted the thread on the skirt, "Remember to clean it up when you're done."

"I see."

"Ok."

Elizabeth and Mary said without looking up.

In the end, Elizabeth and Mary also made a doll for Catherine and Lydia, which made the two little girls very happy. It seems that the frozen hands before are not so cold, so happy~(≧V≦*)

Everyone had ice cream at lunch, the ice cream was really delicious, happy~(≧V≦*)

Christmas Eve Mass is an important religious event in Meryton, and it starts on time at five o'clock in the afternoon, but the Bennet family has been "ready to move" since they had lunch.

Mrs. Bennet brought out her long-prepared weapon—a new amaranth corduroy dress, and Mr. Bennet also had a new set of dark green clothes.This is the fabric that Jane brought back from London last year. The amaranth color looks like purple and red, and it looks very high-end. This is the color that Jane has been looking for for a long time.Mrs. Bennet had missed her chance to show off last winter, and she was determined to show off in front of the village women this year.

"Oh my god, it's so beautiful!" Lydia held her face and her envious eyes gleamed.

"Really, thank you." Mrs. Bennet waved her skirt triumphantly, remembering that she was also a leader in fashion back then. The style of this skirt was taken from the pictures in the newspapers that Mr. Bennet ordered from London. Carefully selected.

"Can it be made just from the pictures? It's amazing, Mommy, tsk tsk, the golden V-neck is very nice and special." Jane said very appreciatively.

Mrs. Bennet was even more proud. Jane had always had a good eye, and what she said must be true.

"Okay, my wife, your beauty is obvious to all, now can you help me see why my collar can't be fastened?" Mr. Bennet also came out wearing new clothes.

"Let me see." Mrs. Bennet went over to help Mr. Bennet button the button, and she said, "My dear sir, I think you are getting fat again, but I have measured your size and made it." .”

Mr. Bennet didn't take it seriously, and even puffed out his stomach proudly, and said, "Don't say that, my wife, which piece of meat on my body is not your credit?" He said to Jane, "Don't be there. Secretly laughing, Jane, it’s also due to you.” He glanced at his daughters, “I am your role model now!”

Daddy!

"Daddy, you look great in this dress."

"That's right, it's almost ten years younger."

"It doesn't look fat at all, Daddy is mighty."

"That's right, that's right, I heard that all the officials have a big belly to be majestic."

The girls hurriedly cheered for Mr. Bennet, although Mr. Bennet's face was indifferent, and his heart was full of joy.

"I always feel that something is missing." Jane propped her elbows and looked at Daddy and Mummy from a distance. She snapped her fingers suddenly, "I see, Mom, do you have any leftover cloth for clothes?"

"Yes, why? Do you want it now?" Mrs. Bennet asked strangely.

"Yes, I think your clothes are missing one small thing, but it's still time to make it now, come on~ Lydia, bring the yellow flower headband I gave you before, I saw you wearing it yesterday , don’t be stingy, I’ll make a new one for you. Elizabeth, please help me get the sewing box, thank you.” Jane clapped her hands to get the sisters to move.

Things fell into place quickly, and the girls all gathered around Jane to see what she wanted to do.

Lydia's headband was also made by Jane before. There was a bunch of little yellows made of yellow silk on it, and now Jane took it off.Jane measured and cut a long strip of leftover fabric from the corduroy skirt.

Afterwards, the Miss Bennets watched Jane fold and sew, and turn while sewing, and soon the strip of cloth turned into a dark green flower in Jane's hands. The strip of cloth was a petal, and the petal on one side was slightly The petals on the long side are slightly shorter, giving it an asymmetrical beauty.Jane sewed a small yellow flower in the middle, and added a clip on the back, and a small brooch was done.

"Oh~" Can cloth heads still do this?The four sisters felt that they had learned another trick.

Jane gave the brooch to Mrs. Bennet, and Mr. Bennet made it simple. Jane made a fake handkerchief in Mr. Bennet's breast pocket with amaranth cloth, in order to prevent Mr. Bennet from being careless. Take it out and secure it with a small pin.

"How is it?" asked Mrs. Bennet, pretentiously holding Mr. Bennet's arm.

"Hey, don't tell me, it looks really different." Elizabeth said carelessly.

"It's very intimate for people to see at a glance." Mary couldn't help but comment.

"Like a young couple~" Catherine shouted quickly.

"Oh, you child, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Bennet cried shyly.

"I think Catherine is right," said Mr. Bennet solemnly, "isn't that what we are?"

Mrs. Bennet was stunned for a while before she realized that the Miss Bennets had already collapsed from laughter.

"Make me one too, Jane." Soon Lydia grabbed Jane's arm and shook it vigorously.

"Okay, okay, I can teach you how to do it." Jane swayed back and forth with Lydia's strength.

"I don't, I want you to make it for me. Don't you have to pay me a headband? Just use this." Lydia is not stupid. Jane's craftsmanship is much better than hers, so she doesn't want to make it herself.

Ok.

In fact, amaranth and dark green are not suitable for young girls, so Miss Bennet took the simple and generous route.Jane divided the remaining yellow silk flowers into two, and made a dark green hair tie for Catherine, and an amaranth hairpin for Lydia.Mary thinks the brooch is good, she also made a dark green brooch, it is a butterfly festival.Elizabeth was ingenious and made a dark green neck collar.Jane made an amaranth wristband in a regular manner. She is a good girl, and she embroidered some simple lines on the wristband, which looks very chic.

Everyone has made new clothes this year, but Jane's winter dress is not new, it was made in Cambridge two months ago, in the words of Mrs. Be it new."Now that everyone is wearing the same accessories as their parents' clothes, anyone who looks at it now will think, ouch, this is really a family.

The snow stopped early this morning. Everyone said it was God's will. Al also came here to help sweep the snow from the roof and front of Bennet's house. He also did the chicken coop and the stable. So not only was he allowed to wash his hands and face in the kitchen, but he ate and drank and took home a whole loaf of buttered bread, much to Al's delight.

But Al doesn't go to church with the Bennet family, he goes with his father.

May would not miss Christmas Mass either, she went with the Bennets.

It was not easy for eight people to sit in the carriage. Mr. Bennet was in charge of driving the carriage, Elizabeth offered to sit in front with her father, and it was much easier for the rest of them to sit in the carriage.

The author has something to say: Mrs. Bennet: It's finally time to show off, oh my god, last year's fabric is out... Are you half a month old?

Mr. Bennet: I didn't!You nonsense!To shut up!

Yesterday I saw someone discussing offal patties. In fact...I want to say...Jane's inspiration actually came from Grandpa Ken and Papa McGregor's hamburger. Which part of the meat is it made of?And the British are not without offal. They have a famous dark dish made with sheep stomach. You can read the specific method and taste. Anyway, the first time I saw the method, I felt a little bit beyond my taste imagination.It seems that I remember that there is another dish that is liver. In fact, after thinking about it, I know that the origin of this dish must not have been invented by aristocrats or rich people, including the "death pie", which were also the recipes of the poor back then.By the way, at that time European nobles liked to eat weird animals, such as peacocks, swans and so on. Why do you think that the British stipulated that the British swans should be owned by the royal family?It was all for eating~
