Ok, for all you guys who were screaming out for Needle... ok, who am I kidding, no-one was screaming. For those politely interested (if there are any) here is the actual first part of the story-line I always had planned for her. This has been altered so much, hopefully for the better, and with the potential promise of Thirteenofclub's Mouse into the mix, that it's not how I planned it. Much like most of Needle's current jobs.
I was going to not mention and see if any-one noticed, but hey I'm probably the only hand-stitcher in these parts and you're probably not sad enough to notice, but I'm planning to have each of these sections with a stitch for a name. Basting stitch or 'tacking' as I got told by my Textiles Teacher, is what you're supposed to do to hold 2 pieces of fabric together, it's kinda the first stitch you use. (the fact that no-one bothers is besides the point)
Wow... that really was sad. Anyway, enjoy. More to follow
