They left the shop laden with fabric and accessories and headed back to Lucy’s house and her attic studio. Lucy was definitely getting better because while she was still slow climbing the stairs she was only slightly out of breath when they reached the attic rather than gasping like a few days ago.
“We’ll do the dress pattern fitting here,” she said. “And then after lunch we can go out to do the other. Too much risk of Mum walking in here.”
“Okay,” Sienna said.
The pattern fitting for the dress didn’t take long. Lucy had made dresses for Sienna before and had a good idea of her proportions and after that they raided the kitchen and made cheese and Branston sandwiches for lunch before heading out to visit Wendy and Martin’s secret workshop.
“Wow! What a fantastic space,” Lucy said when they entered the factory. “So large.”
“It is,” Wendy agreed as she put down another carrier full of food. “We just use the cellars but it’s got a lot of potential.”
They headed down the stairs and found Martin already working on something.
“Hey, Girls,” he said. “I think I have something.” He grinned as Wendy put a cheese sandwich and can of coke on the desk. “Thanks. I think I should warn you Dad called around at the house again after you left,” he added. “Helen threw him out again but I think she’s wavering.”
“I’ll call gran,” Wendy said. “Give me a few minutes then you can tell us what you’ve found.” She pulled out her phone and slipped into the next room. When she returned she was frowning. “Gran’s going to talk to her but she’s worried as well.” She flopped onto one of the seats. “I don’t know what to do.”
