Chapter 735:
He pressed a hand against his chest and released a deep, quiet breath, as if trying to steady something that had suddenly shifted inside him.
Moments later, Linsey continued, “Having shared the inspiration behind my design, I’d now like to discuss some specific elements of it.”
Turning the T-shirt for all to see, Linsey invited, “Observe the transitions in color across the fabric.”
She then grabbed a small flashlight and gently cast a soft glow over the T-shirt.
To the amazement of all present, the T-shirt began to display a dynamic, shifting spectrum of colors.
Linsey explained, “This demonstrates the fluid and ever-changing nature of natural light.”
Driven by curiosity, the host asked, “How did you manage to create this effect?”
This question reflected the wonderment of everyone watching. Many speculated that Linsey might have incorporated some unusual elements into the dye mix without revealing her secret.
Linsey let out a soft laugh and said, “That’s the beauty of mixed dyeing. Right from the start, I had no plans to keep the colors tidy or controlled on the fabric. What you saw just now—those shifts in color—came from the dyes I dropped into the bucket. They sank into the threads and stayed tucked away until the light brought them forward. And in the process, a few unusual shades found each other in the dye bath and created something entirely unexpected.”
Her explanation was met with nods of appreciation from the audience.
“Additionally, the modern and vibrant style of the T-shirt expresses how I perceive the meaning of family connections,” said Linsey as she directed attention to the single-shoulder cut, the flowing bow detail, and the lace-trimmed denim accents on the T-shirt.
Julie, intrigued, asked, “Could you expand on that?”
With a tender smile, Linsey looked lovingly at her creation.
“You’ve probably noticed that the three figures I stitched into the fabric represent a mother and her two children. Actually, when I first picked up this plain white T-shirt, I realized that it was slightly large. So, I made a few subtle adjustments to the fit, aiming to make it suitable for a mother who has recently given birth.”
Linsey spoke with calm elegance, her voice steady and composed, effortlessly drawing the attention of everyone in the room as they fell into sync with her rhythm.
“Some people assume that once a woman becomes a mother, she should leave behind anything youthful or carefree. But I disagree. To me, the bond between family members isn’t only about what a mother gives up for her child; it’s also about how the child views their mother. Deep down, children always want their moms to live with joy, chasing the life they truly want, not just the one they settle for.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a quiet stillness spread across the room, leaving everyone in sudden silence.
Then, from somewhere in the crowd, a single pair of hands began clapping. It didn’t take long before the applause spread, rising into an overwhelming wave of cheers for her.
