Craft Achievements

  • Earned at the Workbench, not through the story

99 Problems But A Stitch Ain’t One

Make a dress at 100% for the first time.

This can be for a commission piece or for yourself to sell. The requirements are unchanged.

There are 3 elements that critical for this achievement:

  • Measurements
  • Grain Quality
  • Sew Lines

Dress Recommendation: Kimono

Measurements

Measure your client carefully! After that, ensure that the Mannequin is the exact size for those measurements. Double check all measurements before you move onto cutting.

Grain Quality

Rotate the fabric so its grain or bias line shows 100% before you consider cutting it. Only set the piece when it is at 100%

Sew Lines

The final step. More than anything, take your time. Tap very slowly as you do the corners, curves, and edges.

  • Feeling nervous about this one? Go into settings and turn on Sewing Assist.

Complete any dress with a Ruffle Skirt: commissioned, sold or gifted.
