100 sweat into giving free clothes to noobs

[RedThothCrowley]

Hello everyone in EF-Land,

I have been wishing I had the ability to do something really fun and amazing for noobs at the new arrival area for awhile now. Here's the idea: I want to skill tailoring until I am able to make some decent clothes (at least something better than basic). Then run a good sized batch, color them and make a day of giving them away to brand new players.

The problem is that I just plain never have enough PED to make it happen. So it's always just an idea. But, in my time reading here on the forum I have had inspiration in the form of 2 other posts.

This:
100 sweat into a hangar

And this:
250 sweat into a spaceship ?

So, here's my idea.

Like those posts, I am going to start a trade with sweat. 100 bottles of beautiful vibrant sweat . Each trade should be something valued slightly over the previous trade. And I hope that each trade will be accompanied by a small amount of materials/bp's usable in tailoring or coloring. I am not including texturing as I think it would make this project too huge.

Here is an example:

Someone offers me a Mann MPH and 2 wool for the 100 sweat. I then will have a Mann MPH available for trade and the 2 wool will be saved for skilling tailoring. Once the trade has gotten large enough (I am willing to accept advice on what is large enough), I will try to make 1 final trade for tailoring related items. Hopefully the small amounts of wool/bp's etc. I get during this will raise my skill enough to make some ok clothing. I will use all of the materials gained from the final trade to make a batch of clothes, color them and have a give away day. Hopefully everyone who gets involved in trades will come to the event too, to make it more fun.

I will keep everyone posted as to what I currently have as a trade offer, as well as what materials/bp's have been given. I will also keep everyone posted as to where my tailoring and coloring professions are at.

All input on this idea is welcome, either in this thread or via pm

Thanks to Bones for donating 2k sweat to the cause. Anyone have an offer for 2.1k sweat?

[RedThothCrowley]

I have just completed a run of tailoring on basic shirts using all of my own PED (which was not really alot). I was just trying to get some skills going and maybe loot a bp so I can be more prepared to do a big run to make free clothes when and if this works out. I will be posting my tailoring skills sometime today so everyone can see where I am at as far as being able to make half decent clothes for the noobs.
