Network / voice because she doesn't want to see his spelling

Well, I admit that most of my experience with making clothes if for cosplay, but I would love to actually do some sewing with others who are interested. I've got a sewing machine and a lot of second hand clothes to cannibalize.

If it's that bad she'd probably find herself in physical pain.

Cosplay
At Least You Have Some Experience As The Principles Are Really No Different
I Much Prefer To Make Things From Scratch Rather Than Alter Existing Clothing
However Finding Room To Store Fabric Will Be A Bit Of A Challenge
Do They Offer Up Space For Clubs
Or Would We Have To Make Due With Meeting In One Of The Provided Student Boarding Rooms

F in English and already held back one year. Guess \o/

[comparative_insanity]

Oh, they usually allow us to make use of one of the leisure rooms or lesser used classrooms, and there's always some way of storing things.

[He laughs.] I have done some of my own pattern-making and such - mostly for historical clothing - but nice fabrics are always a bit on the expensive side. But I think clubs get a bit of a money from the school - oh, and I'm sure Lorna would like it! [And that would help with money. Never say he's not practical.]

Oh the pain!

[likethestars]

Wonderful News
We Would Need Space For This Kind Of Thing After All

Pattern Making Can Be Quite Difficult Im Glad To Hear That Its Something Youre Familiar With
I Couldnt Ask The Others To Shell Out Money For Fabric Unless It Was Something They Wished To Personally Use

He unselfishly abstains from texting for this specific reason.

[comparative_insanity]

My brother leads the cooking club, and he says that the school is usually pretty forthcoming with helping the clubs out with what they need.

[He giggles, his voice managing to be both airy and matter of fact.] Oh, and if we ever go on shopping trips for the club, it won't be a matter of trying to convince Lorna not to pay for your things, because you couldn't. You'll simply have to concentrate on ensuring her that you don't need real pearls for your dress.

Good. We wouldn't want to cause any unnecessary pain.

[likethestars]

Oh There Is A Cooking Club As Well
I May Find It Difficult To Pick Activities I Can Actually Fit Into My Schedule

How Interesting

Not to people who aren't teachers ^^

[comparative_insanity]

Oh yes! I'm in it since it's my twin's club, and the crossdressing/bible studies club since I'm one of the founding members, and in one of the X-teams. This school has a tendency of eating quite a lot of your spare time. My brother is involved in six extracurricular activities. Overachiever.

[A small, amused noise.] And you have no idea.

[likethestars]

Oh Youre A Twin
That Must Be Interesting
Ive Often Wondered What It Would Be Like If There Were In a Sense Two Of Me

Six Extracurricular Activities Does Not Seem Like Too Many As Long As School Work Is Being Done On Time

Even If She Has Such A Disposable Income For Lack Of A Better Word I Would Not Feel Comfortable Allowing Her To Spend It On So Much For A Club

[comparative_insanity]

We~ell, I've never not been a twin, so I don't really have anything to compare with. But I guess I often found myself wondering how people survive with only one of them. Silly, huh?

[That gets a small titter.] Oh, it is. A pluses all the way, that's my brother.

[That is followed by the vocal equivalent of a shrug.] She's a princess, I think she could buy an entire mall if she wanted to, so I don't feel to bad wasting what is petty cash to her.

[likethestars]

I Would Expect You Wouldnt
And I Do Not Think It The Least Bit Silly
It Makes Plenty Of Sense to Wonder How Others Get Along Without Such A Close Sibling If Youre Used To Having Such

He Sounds Like A Truly Remarkable Person

I See
That Does Explain A Few Things
And Yet I Would Still Feel Incredibly Uncomfortable

[comparative_insanity]

Well, I guess it makes sense, hm? In a way, no matter how lonely I've been, I've always had someone. [On the flip side, he almost went crazy when they were separated.] And he's definitely a remarkable person. He's the genius of the family, I'm really just along for the ride.

[He laughs.] I know she'll want to join, but... I shall try to make her enthusiasm.

[likethestars]

Yes It Make Plenty Of Sense
I Do Not Think You Give Yourself Enough Credit
I May Not Know You But I Am Certain You Are a Genius Of Sorts In Your Own Way
Perhaps Not Academically But Im Sure There Are Things You Are Great At Where Your Brother May Not Be

The Saying The More The Merrier Applies To The Club
If She Wishes To Join I will Be Glad To Have Her

[comparative_insanity]

Mmm, I have a flair for science and I'm good with a needle and thread, but... well, I really don't mind being more modest in my aspirations. I was always the loud kid, so he kind of deserves the attention now.

And I shall tell her, of course. I think we can make quite a club, actually.

[likethestars]

You Sound Like A Very Sweet Brother

Judging From The Interest Gathered Here It May Take Off Better Than A Botany Club

[comparative_insanity]

When I'm not broadcasting him almost naked on the internet, yes.

[What, don't all brothers do that?]

And well, I don't know, I think Pam would be up for it, and probably some others too. Me, I'm kind of known as The Scourge of All Potted Plants and shouldn't be trusted with any plantlife.

[likethestars]

Oh
Thats An Undeniably Different Way Of Treating A Sibling

Perhaps
But This Fashion Club Idea Seems To Garner More Interest

[comparative_insanity]

I wanted to get him a date for the ball! I thought that was the most effective way.

[See, logic!]

And well, you won't hear any complaints from me, I'm all for a club that's all about making fabulous clothes. [Because clearly what this boy needs is more fabulosity.]

[likethestars]

Did It Work
Because That Is Certainly A Direct Way To Go About It

Im Sure This Type Of Club Will Bring Up Many Different Views On What We All Consider Fabulous

[comparative_insanity]

It did! Altho~ough I might also have pretended to be him and asked the girl sort of for him, but she totally didn't mind! He did, a little, but he got over it.

[He's the best twin brother, really.]

And I bet it will~. Oh, I'll ask Feli too. I'm not sure if he would be a genius at sewing or accidentally maim himself if someone gave him a needle, but I guess we can just keep an eye on him.

GDI FAI

[onlyhisdreams]

Hello, my name is Lorna and I would never insist you do something that makes you uncomfortable, no matter how much my best friend attempts to sell you on it.

My apologies.

[likethestars]

Im Not Sure If There Is Some Sort Of Misunderstand Here Or Not But It Is Not You Or having You Around That Would Be Of A Discomfort
Rather
Having You Pay For Anything More Than What It Is That You Wish To Purchase For Yourself
Or I Suppose Your Friends
That Makes Me Uncomfortable
That Is
Should You Wish To Join The Club
I Do Not Wish To Make Any Assumptions On That Matter

[onlyhisdreams]

I do understand.

I accompanied some of my friends on a shopping trip before December's winter formal. I was delighted to buy them all dresses and since then Fai has assumed me to be a very generous bank. He tends to get caught up.

I do not wish to make you feel uncomfortable in any way.

[likethestars]

I Think I Understand The Problem Now

Let Me Try This Again As I Feel I May Have Got Off To A Bad Start
My Name Is Kanaya Maryam And If It Was Not Obvious Before Im New Here

Oh gosh, it's someone as polite and proper as Lorna.

[onlyhisdreams]

Oh, no. My apologies. I was the one not minding my manners.

It is a pleasure to talk to you, Miss Kanaya. Welcome to this school. I look forward to having classes or extracurricular activities with you.

And yet, she can be horrendously sassy.

[likethestars]

I Do Not Think That You Are At Fault In Any Way Here

It Is A Pleasure Talking With You As Well Lorna
Thank You I Look Forward To The Same As Well
Its Refreshing To See There Is At Least Someone In This School With A Modicum Of Decorum
Although You Certainly Seem To Have More Than Just A Little
