This isn’t knitting related, but I’ve been rewatching The Flash, and I keep wondering what kind of sewing machine Cisco is using for those suits.
There’s no way that boy is hand sewing those fabrics. They seem awfully thick for a standard machine too. Did he engineer a special one? Why do we never see it? Is there a craft room somewhere deep within STAR Labs?
We need these important questions answered, DC.
The real questions
I mean, they’re too secretive for him to hire a steamstress, so he has to be the one sewing them
I’m picturing a room with bolts of high tech maroon fabric and lightning-bolt-shaped molds for the emblems
I’m picturing a 5-minute short of him learning to sew, including the destruction of a machine after he accidentally sews through his finger. And lots of trips to the local fabric store.
I would watch that.
Addendum: at some point he gets so frustrated with the fabric not behaving that he opens a breach and throws the whole sewing machine in
So it’s specially designed fabric, right? To be able to withstand Barry’s speeds. Is it specially designed in that Cisco treats it with something or is it synthetic from the ground up? And if it’s the first option, did he try to treat it before sewing the costume, realized that was a big mistake, and now sews and then treats?
Trying to sew pre-treated fabric is probably where the frustrated breach-toss happens.
(This is my favorite conversation btw)
I love that picture. Just straight up frustration yeets the fabric. It ends up in a universe where Cisco designed a machine that could handle the fabric instead of post production treating and he’s like “yay! free fabric!”
Either that or he yeets the whole project, sits there for two seconds, then he’s like “fuck I needed that” and breaches himself through to get it.
lol i love this but did someone actually say they’re secretive on this show? They don’t lock their front door and Barry tells literally every person he meets his identity??
I’m team Cisco learns how to sew and his whole sewing circle and supply store is always asking him for updates about their adventures
lol true, though they still might be protective enough not to hire someone to sew Flash suits
I want a spin-off series that’s just behind the scenes of Cisco making things now
Still waiting on a “Cisco’s crafting corner” spinoff
