Greetings, everyone.
[Sansa stands stiffly, though she's perfectly at home in the position. She's wearing a deep green dress. Around the neck she's embroidered flowers in contrasting green hues, and steel-colored ribbon weaving itself through the flowers. Behind her, she has a few other creations hanging- a fish swimming happily at the bottom of a deep blue skirt, scales created in fabric around the waist, a short-sleeved, dark-grey collared shirt with a small gold kraken on the breast pocket.]
For those of you who do not know me, my name is Sansa Stark.
I realize, in my two months here, that much of what I know from my home could be considered 'outdated' or silly. But with so much time and freedom here that I find I previously did not have, I thought I would make myself useful.
Back home, one of my favorite things to do was always sewing. I sewed gowns, cloaks, embroidering tapestries or even leather armor. There was not as much to do in Westeros as there is here, so such things were common place. [Clothing and her hair were two ways she'd learned to rebel against those around her, or to fit in. She dressed like those she admired or wished to emulate. Here, she still favored more modest styles, her clothing lacked much of the detailing that her Westerosi garments had.] I've already done a few things for myself and Theon Greyjoy, and I'm more than happy to offer my services to others, or even to teach a few people, if they'd like. I can also make lace, knit, weave, even work a bit of leather- all manner of things.
Please let me know if you'd like to request my services, or if you'd like to look at a few of the other pieces I have. I thank you in advanced.

Here. Please look. These are some of the things I've made. This one here. [She points to an ornate red dress.] Is the one in the window.
It's actually the one I had thought about when I heard your advertisement. You see. It's made out of a thin fabric but it would look lovely with golden leaves or something embroidered into the neckline and along the hem. Not a lot but an accent to the red and a little more color.

[She looks over the red dress sketch, then turns to admire it in the window.] I do, yes- oh that would be lovely! May I? [She looks to Angel for permission to touch it.]
no subject
Yes, of course. We won't be able to work together if you can't touch the dresses. Please. [She gestures with a hand at the red dress in the window. The fabric is carefully pinned at the back to fit the slim mannequin perfectly.]
I'm glad you like them. I admit, I draw even if I don't have orders. It's... calming. There are a lot of designs that I hope I can one day create.
no subject
[Sansa's already touching the garment with gentle hands, feeling the thickness of the fabric, trying to get a feel for it.]
They're unlike what I've ever really seen before, but I'm aware my home has a far more modest fashion than others here. [That modesty she carried with her. She dressed very well, but her skin was seldom visible.]
Did you get this fabric here?
no subject
It's like a little piece of home. [She nods her head.] I did. I have a vendor that Max introduced me too. If you want to find another type of fabric I can ask. They sometimes bring me samples too.
What are the fashions like in your home?
no subject
The women all wore dresses, long and flowing. Fur was necessary in the North, while lighter, flowier silks were preferred in the South, as were brighter colors. In the North, we wore thick fabrics to keep us warm, embroidering them as we saw fit. In the South, many women liked to bear their arms, or their chests- my friend Margaery was never shy.
I prefer a more modest dress.
[She liked to hide her body from those that would use it against her.]

[There is a lot about the sphere that doesn't make sense but Angel isn't the type of person to look too closely.]
I like cute things myself and flowers.
