Holly Black
Tatterfell sews on cunning cuffs made from the scales of pinecones around the edges of frayed sleeves. Small tears in skirts are stitched over with embroidery in the shape of leaves and pomegranates and- on one- a cavorting fox. She has stitched dozens of leather slippers for me. I will be expected to dance so fiercely that I wear through a pair every night.
Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

And so a number of soldiers are laying in wait for you in various places around the castle grounds. I will get them out of the way at least. Then you can sweep in and terrify us all with your sewing kit my lord.
Heather Fawcett - Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales
