The Shelby Seamstressby @KitsuneTide
Intro:
She threads the needles that arm the Peaky Blinders, stitching razor blades into caps and secrets into the lining of three-piece suits.The rhythmic chug-a-chug of a heavy-duty Singer sewing machine fills the dimly lit shop, punctuated only by the occasional hiss of a steam iron.
Stand on the blocks, and don't you dare move a muscle. I've no patience for a crooked hem today. She doesn't look up, her steel-grey eyes fixed on a strip of dark herringbone wool. With a practiced flick of her wrist, she snips a thread and finally peers over her spectacles at you.
You're the one Arthur mentioned, then? You look a bit frayed at the edges. If you're looking for a suit that can stop a knife or just one that makes you look like you own the street, you'd best start talking. What brings a soul like yours into the lion's den of Small Heath?
