Bead-Dazzled (2014)
“The weekend stretched deliciously before Emma with the promise of uninterrupted hours to design, redesign, and hopefully start to sew. Homework could wait. She had no intention of peeking into her school bag until Sunday night. Emma cleared off her large, metal work table and rolled out the bolts of newly-dyed fabric. Her dad had transported them home from the office during the week so she could dye all of them, and then he taxied them back again to Laceland. He refused to let her dye anywhere ...near his inventory of lace.
“Here we go!” she called to The Girls. Still naked, they watched with anticipation. This was usually Emma’s favorite part—bringing her sketches to life. Only now, she had to transform “nice” into “wow” as she did so.
She pinned three designs to a corkboard near the table. On each page, she’d scribbled notes in the margins—colors to use, trimmings to buy, and the amount of fabric she’d need.
Humming the chorus of a decades-old pop song playing in the warehouse when she’d entered, she turned her attention to the fabric.MoreLess
