Sewing is one of the Production skills in HKO. There are various crafting-guides for sewing which can be learned in order to create dye, accessories and clothing, but also components (materials) for Forging and Carpentry.

What's sewing for in HKO?

For one thing you will need to sew nearly every item you can craft to complete quests in Hello Kitty Online. But you generally won't get clothing of better value by sewing than by carrying out quests or buying.

There are five types of stuff you can sew at the present in July 2010:

• hats
• clothing for the upper body
• clothing for the lower body
• footwear: shoes and boots
• hand-held accessories
• accessories for the body

- some special guides may be available at event-times only for a week or so once a year each

Components

All of the equipable items you can produce by sewing also need components (materials) you will have to craft first. Some of those components needed will have to be produced by Cooking or Forging.

But you can also buy lots of components at material merchants. The merchant in Beijing has most of them; he sells glue, simple cloth, light cloth, impressive thread, bast thread, novice thread, simple thread, copper doodad, wooden button, bendy material, sharpened stone, fine copper, simple chain, wooden frame, yellow dye, green dye and purple dye.
