Unlock Tailoring With Cloth
Unlock / First Cloth, sunny Emily cutscene, and Emily's house access
Tailoring and Dyeing unlock during a sunny-day cutscene after the player obtains at least one Cloth. Emily explains that the sewing machine and Dye Pots inside Emily and Haley's house can now be used.
Sewing Machine Recipes
Tailoring / Cloth feed, spool item, shirts, pants, skirts, shorts, and hats
Most tailoring uses Cloth in the feed and one item on the spool. The spool item determines the output, creating shirts, pants, skirts, shorts, hats, or special clothing variants.
Dye Pots Six-Color Route
Dyeing / Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple inventory items
Dye Pots at Emily's house recolor worn clothing when the inventory has one item for each dye pot color: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
Sewing Machine Dyeing
Dyeing / Dyeable clothing in feed, dye item on spool, dye strength, and quality ignored
The sewing machine can dye one dyeable clothing item by putting the clothing in the feed and a dye item on the spool. Item quality does not affect the result, and dye strength controls how strong the color change is.
Prismatic and Rainbow Color Control
Special / Prismatic Shard, Rainbow Shell, random prismatic clothing, and color sliders
Cloth plus Prismatic Shard can create random prismatic clothing, while Prismatic Shard or Rainbow Shell used for dyeing opens color sliders for any color choice.
Boot Stat Transfer
Boots / Custom-tailored boots, appearance swap, and stats transfer
Tailoring boots does not create a new item. It transfers the stats from one pair of boots or shoes to another pair so the player can keep preferred combat stats with a different look.
Rock Rejuvenation Sewing Machine
Reward / Emily special order, home Sewing Machine, and no Dye Pots at home
Emily's Rock Rejuvenation special order can reward a Sewing Machine for the farmhouse. It supports tailoring from home, but Dye Pots remain an Emily-house system.
Cloth Production Planning
Materials / Wool, Loom, Sheep, Rabbits, recycling, Tent Kit pressure, and Mill costs
Cloth is both the unlock item and the main tailoring feed. Plan Wool and Loom production from Sheep or Rabbits while remembering Cloth also appears in Tent Kit and Mill material routes.
