Leveling Sewing - Late Game

Late Game

Late game Sewing is exclusively for the Indian region, and therefore Portuguese players should have a natural advantage due to the presence of a colony in India. In addition before you head out to India please stock up on as many Sewing Kits as you can from Europe.

All the late-game recipes are Silk intensive, so you should have high level of Fiber trading skill to complement.

Level 11

(2 x Sheep >>> Wool, 2 x Silk >>> Silk Fabric, 2 x Silk + Wool + 2 x Silk Fabric >>> Persian Rug; 4 x Silk + Sewing Kit >>> Embroidery Thread, 2 x Silk + Embroidery Thread >>> Satin)

It is most important to have purchased as many Sewing Kits as possible from Europe.
To Make Persian Rug, use Fabric Secrets – Design Dye Book, and combine Wool made from Sheep using Fabric Secrets – Cloth with Silk Fabric made from silk using Fabric Secrets – Fine Cloth and an additional 2 Silks.

The other level 11 crafting recipe is for Satin. Satin is produced by firstly combining 4 Silks with Sewing Kit to produce Embroidery Thread using the Mode Design Collection Volume 3, and then using Embroidery Thread with another 2 Silks to make Satin from Fabric Secrets – Fine Cloth.
To level up faster, combine with Indian Calico recipe.

The best area once again is Machilipatanam and Pondicherry

Level 12 

(4 x Silk + Sewing Kit >>> Embroidery Thread, 2 x Silk + Embroidery Thread >>> Georgette)

Georgette is made from the same materials as Satin from the same Fabric Secrets – Fine Cloth.
Because Georgette does not require Wool and Cotton, you can feel free to go to other Silk exporting Ports such as Diu and Kolkata.

 
I would still recommend staying in Machilipatnam and Pondicherry, because you can make Indian calico.

Level 13

(4 x Silk + Sewing Kit >>> Embroidery Thread, 3 x Silk + Embroidery Thread >>> Velvet; 2 x Sheep >>> Wool, 2 x Wool >>> Woolen Fabric, 2 x Silk >>> Silk Fabric, Silk Fabric + Woolen Fabric >>> Luxury Clothing)

Velvet was once known as 'printed money' because of the exorbitant prices it could sell in India and the huge amount of exp and fame you could gain due to Velvet being a Specialty Product of Southern Italy.
The process of making Velvet is same as Satin and Georgette, except it requires 3 Silks and an Embroidery Thread instead of 2.

Another item you can produce is Luxury Clothing, made from Woolen Fabric and Silk Fabric.
In most cases you would be using Silk solely for making Velvet.

Level 14 - 15  

(Sheep >>> Wool, 4 x Silk + Sewing Kit >>> Embroidery Thread, 6 x Wool + Embroidery Thread >>> Tapestries; 3 x Silk >>> Taffeta)

If you are running low on Sewing Kits, you can craft Taffetas instead of Tapestries, but if you want extra fame and exp, craft Tapestries because they are considered a Specialty Product from South of France.
They both use the same Fabric Secrets – Fine Cloth, and Taffeta are much more straight forward and can be produced outside of the Machilipatnam and Pondicherry region, whilst Tapestries require Wool and Embroidery Thread, and the quickest way to make Wool is from Sheep in Pondicherry.
