Now we're getting to the good part! Let's give this all we've got, guys!

Yeah!

First, I'm gonna sew these blue beads onto Eli's scrunchie…

I'll use this red satin fabric for Dia's, zura!

We must take care not to wrinkle the fabric as we sew, correct?

They're scrunchies, so you can adjust the shape afterward if it wrinkles, to a certain extent. Don't worry too much about it, zura!

Ah, I see. That's a relief.

Um, so first we stitch it into a circular tube, then insert the elastic, and thread it inside the opening…

You're good at this, Ai!

*Giggle* Thanks! You're sewing yours beautifully too, Hanayo.

*Whimper* Stitching in a straight line is so difficult. I always end up making it curve.

I know what you mean, Setsuna. It's like the stitch decides to go crooked all on its own for some reason.

I have a good tip for dealing with that, zura. Fold along the place you want to sew like this, then draw a line along it with a fabric pen.

Once you do that, you can just sew along the guideline and it'll end up straight, zura!

Whoa! That's amazing, Hanamaru! It won't veer off in another direction this way!

That's such a great idea!

*Giggle* Ruby was the one who taught me it, actually!

And I've learned a ton of other things along the way from her besides that, so let me know if there's anything you're struggling with.

Thanks, Hanamaru! Okay, I'm gonna give this all I've got—

Ow! Ouuuch!

Are you okay, Honoka?!

*Whimper* I jabbed myself out of nowhere with the needle…

You should probably disinfect where you poked yourself. I'll bring you a band-aid.

Thanks, Setsuna. Once I put a band-aid on it, I'll pull myself back together and do my best…

[Fade in/out.]

All done! I finally finished my first scrunchie!

You made it look so cute, zura!

Thanks! It's all thanks to the advice you gave me!

Now I'm gonna keep up this pace and make the rest of the scrunchies!

We're not gonna let you beat us!

Uh-huh!

That includes me! I've still got plenty to give!

[Fade in/out.]

We sure made a bunch, huh?

Indeed. If we keep this pace up we should be finished sooner than—

G-Guys, I have bad news! A seriously urgent problem just cropped up!
