DP Daily Prompt: Breathing Room

pad2014-s.png (308×60)

An extra room has been magically added to your home overnight. The catch: if you add more than three items  to it ,it disappears. How do you use it?

I desperately need a sewing room, I was planning to convert one  of the rooms upstairs into a sewing room, but could not, why, it’s a long story I rather not write it here.

Since I have an additional room added magically, I’ll use it as my sewing room. The catch is the problem, the restriction of only three items are allowed in it, is a serious problem.

A sewing room needs a sewing machine, this is one item, I need a chair to sit on, it’s number two item. Number three I need a table to put my sewing accessories,like,material,spools of thread , patterns. I think  these are the three items I will add on.

I will start sewing the blouse and petticoat fabrics I bought in the winter. I am so thrilled now I can wear my new sari, which I could not because I didn’t have the matching blouse and petticoat!

Writing Prompt: Show and Tell

I have been asked to do a five-minute presentation to a group of young school children on the topic of my choice.

My topic is “A Sari”.

What is a sari?

The  dress the woman in the picture is wearing is called a “Sari”. It is six yards long and forty-five inches wide. A matching blouse and a petticoat of the same color enhances the beauty of this gorgeous dress. The petticoat which is an under garment is worn to help tuck in the  sari , is like a long skirt which reaches up to the ankle.

The sari needs six yards for the pleats in the middle and for the shoulder. It comes in a variety of colors and the material is silk, or cotton or nylon.

The blouse comes down to the waist,it has short sleeves, long or no sleeves. It is something  one who wears it, decides.
