nAgain within the sewing department, there was also a sector that focused on beddings.

nUsing the size chart for the mattresses (king size, etc), this department was able to make items like bed sheets and mattress quilts that would be used to cover the mattress foam.

nOf course when making the quilts, they sized up a bit so as to give room for fitting and sewing.

nTo make any side of the quilt, the workers placed thin layers of foam between 2 thick fabrics and sewed them together.

nOf course on each side of the quilt, they would sew criss-cross designs which kept the thin foam layer within the quilt from moving around.

nIf any one had ever seen a mattress back on earth, they would quickly notice these designs as the many lines that ran across the mattresses surface from all directions.

nSince Mattresses were generally rectangular in shape... the top, bottom and sides of the quilt were done separately.

nAnd at the end, the quilt parts were then sewn together..... making the rectangular shaped quilt, look like an extremely thick gigantic pillow case.... that had only one section opened (unsewn).

nAnd once the mattress foam was brought in from the Alchemy Industry, the workers fitted the foam into the quilts, and used pins to close the opened section.

nThey also folded all the excess loss fabric on the mattress, and pinned it towards the edges.

nFor the next phase, the workers left the table size sewing machines, and used the big guns.

nSince there was no way that those tiny tables could contain those large mattresses, Landon had made steam powered sewing machines.

nOnce more, 17th century earth had done it again.

nAnd at this point, Landon had already concluded that the 17th century was the birth era for Steam engines.

nThose people used steam for almost everything.

nIn fact in the 18th century, these people went as far as to create steam cannons and guns...bruhhh Landon was done with them.

nI mean...he understood the reasons such as metal being expensive..... but for war, that wasn't a good strategy.

nWhat if some people had drank all the water, or their enemies destroyed your water tank? Even something as basic evaporation could lower the water levels..

nIt was good that they thought about saving cost and energy, but with some of their steam inventions, Landon couldn't help but feel that they had gone a little too far.

nAnyway, the steam powered sewing machines could only be used on big items like couch cushions, mattresses and so on.

nIt was better to imagine the machine as an airport metal detector door.

nThere were 2 thick needles placed at the top and bottom of both sides of the door.

nThese needles could be adjusted to any height that was required for the items.. As well as the width of the door.

nFor the case of the mattresses, once they passed through the narrow doors, the needles would start sewing their corners.

nAt this point, only the top and the bottom would have been stitched.

nSo the height of needles were adjusted and the mattress passed through the machine again.

nThis time, the other sides of the mattress were stitched up properly.

nAnd at the end, the pins that were used to grip the mattress were carefully removed.

nOf course with the mattresses successfully made, the 'inspection and storage' department also ensure that no pins were left on them.

nPresently, mattresses alone had 12 storage rooms which all differed depending on the bed size.

nSo after inspection, they would be stored away neatly according to their sizes.

n.

nSince all the sectors within the sewing department had no issues or reported injuries, Sophia went on with her Inspection.

nShe began by inspecting the National flag.

nThe flag had a green background.. And at its center stood, a circle that had several stars surrounding it.

n

n

nThe left side of the circle was blue, while the right side of the circle was red... And of course, the stars surrounding the circle were white as well.

nHis majesty Landon had told her that:

n•The green symbolized Agricultural prosperity and fertility

n•The Red stood for power, vibrancy, courage, War and domination

n•The Blue symbolized liberation, alertness and good fortune

n•And the white symbolized Peace, Purity and Harmony.

nOnce she had heard the meaning of all those colors, she was very impressed and pleased with the flag..... who wouldn't want to be identified with those qualities?

nRight now, she was inspecting all the different types and sizes for the national flag.

nThere were 3 main types that were made presently:

n•The civil flags: which was basically a version of the national flag that could be used by civilians..they could put in their homes or offices... the sizes ranged from double extra small to large.

n•State flags: which would be flown in Government buildings

n•And War

/Military flags: which would be flown in the military, coast guard, police station and other fighting units within Baymard.

nOnce she was done with inspection, she immediately went to her office to write her report.

nOn the 3rd week of September, all her products would officially be marketed off to the citizens.

nAnd With only a week and some days left, she began checking the amount of products needed for her to meet her goal.

nIn her entire life, she had never had such a huge responsibility before.

nBefore Landon came to Baymard, her life goal was to sit at home, feed her husband, do all the housework, sew, wait at home all day for her husband, take care of her children..and that was it.

nTruthfully, she had been bored with that repetitive lifestyle for the past 15 years now

nBut ever since his majesty Landon had come to Baymard, her boredom immediately flew out the window.

nAnd now that she was Chief, she had a lot of people that looked up to her... so she didn't want to disappoint them.

nIt felt strangely satisfying and fulfilling to have a different targets every day, week and month.. it felt like she was contributing to the society.

nIf someone had told her that she would one day do this kind of job, she would hit their heads with a cooking cauldron... but look at her now...

nWhenever she went home, she and her husband Lyore would gist about their work.... and how far behind, or ahead they were on their target schedules.

nShe felt very motivated to do her job.... the salaries were good, the food was good... and more importantly, she now felt like she had an important purpose in life.

nA day in the life of Sophia.
