Good question...
If you make your design too complicated, then actually embroidering it won't be easy. So, I recommend keeping things simple.

Also, you'll need to transfer the design in your notebook over to your fabric, so you'll need to get the size right.
Shizuku
For example, for your makeup pouches, Haruka, I recommend going with slightly larger designs since you have quite a lot of space available.
Shizuku
As for you, Asahina, I recommend smaller designs for the corners of your handkerchiefs.
Mafuyu
I see...
In other words, you need to think about what the finished product is going to look like.

Shizuku
Yes. I even brought along books about embroidering accessories, so you can see how big their designs are.
Shizuku
Anyway, let's do our best to come up with designs that everybody is going to love.

Haruka
Thanks. This is for Minori's pouch...
I'm thinking about making a whole flower field.

No, not yet...
I've never designed anything like this before, so I'm finding it a little challenging.

Shizuku
That's perfectly understandable. I'm no expert either, so I also become stuck for ideas sometimes.
Mizuki
Hmm... For example, in Kanade's case, would that be music? Although, her relationship with it is a bit complicated.
Mizuki
But just musical notes might look a bit sterile.
What else does Kanade like? Instant noodles, I guess...?

Mizuki
Haha. You're probably right...
Coming up with a good embroidery design for Kanade that's gonna look good is really hard.

Haruka
Flowers are even a part of her last name. And just like real flowers, Minori Hanasato has a talent for making others smile.
Shizuku
Does having her around make you happy or feel at ease? That may be a good place to start.
Mizuki
Yeah, I totally know what you mean!
She's also been a huge source of support for me.

Mizuki
She is! Kanade's songs are like these rays of light poking through the darkness... They always hit me really hard when I listen to them.

She's the person that's always there to tell me that everything is going to be okay. That we can move forward together.
Shizuku
Not at all.
I think I have a much better understand of what Yoisaki represents in your mind.

(A light that guides the way when you find yourself stumbling around in the dark...)
Shizuku
Also, having even just a small light can be a source of encouragement when you find yourself stuck in the dark. Is that close in feeling, maybe?
Shizuku
Oh, I'm sorry if I'm wrong...
That was what immediately came to mind for me, that's all...

Haruka
Yes. Also, thanks to Shizuku, we know which stitches and techniques we'll each be using. Now we just need to start gathering materials.
