He returned the leathers again... this man was a hard task master.. and I would prove to him. I could do this. But I needed some advice.. I left my wagon and headed to the clans fires.. and spoke to the woman Noya.. she gave me some advice on maybe what he was expecting... I had been making plain and simple leathers.. that looked more like something the barrens people would wear more than what we would... I was trying to do something different.. and I forgot my fathers basic rules...
So I sat by the fires of the clan of leatherworkers.. and drew out what I hoped he would approve of this time..
I had found four nice hides of bosk leather... it was perfect in every way.. not a mark on it.. as I cut the patterns for jerkin and pants.. Once I had these cut... I unrolled the varios needles and threads I would use... I spend all day at the clan fires.. getting advice and help from the more experienced workers.. I made sure each stitch even and smooth... Soon I had each set done..and I treated each peice with a soft coating of bosk fat.. to make sure it would remain soft. I also made 4 quilted jackets each one different for each boy.. and a leather windscarf.. Each was given my utmost attention..
Once I was done.. I would have the leaderof our clan.. look them all over and make sure she approved...I still have very much to learn... and I knew I would soon be emersed into the workings of the clan... I would wait for her to approve what I had made.. before I would even consider delivering these items.
