Video description
Trailer for “Jacquery Tattery Maker of Sails.” 51 seconds. Title card with the words “Podcast Episode” and “Genre: Fantasy” is displayed at top. Story tagline is displayed at bottom. Tagline reads, “Jaquery Tattery was born at sea, and he grew up in a town far from the sea, and all he wanted to do was return to the sea.” The title card and tagline fade. Digital drawing. Part of a sail whose braided border is being pierced by a needle. The sail sits on the lap of a person, at right of image, whose left hand grips a section of the braided border and whose right hand, equipped with a sailmaker’s sewing palm, directs the need through the braid of cloth. An image is stitched onto the sail and is partially visible, the body of a serpent entangled around a boat with one sail unfurled at bottom center and middle. At bottom right, the serpent’s head with mouth parted, looking at the ship. Watermark of the word “Storyfeather” on the sail along a coil of the serpent. Subtitles appear in time with music and narration at the bottom: “Soon after the day that Jack made his birthday bargain with his mother, a woman entered their shop and made an unusual request. The woman, though quite young, claimed to be the captain of a humble vessel docked in an eastern port. ‘My name is Rill,’ the woman said, bowing deep to Jack and his mother. ‘For the past year, I have been asking ever innkeeper, captain, merchant, and mayor I meet a question. Who are the best tailors in the realm? I have heard many names spoken, but only one was spoken by all. Your name.’” Story title appears at top. Website URL at bottom center throughout and fades as text box appears at center displaying the words, “Listen on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, iHeartRadio, Spotify, Stitcher, and so on. Or listen on my Podcast page at storyfeather.com.”
Jacquery Tattery Maker of Sails – Storyfeather
Episode Released: 26 January 2023
EXCERPT:
The Tatterys were tailors who started working in town with a humble business of repairing and refreshing old clothes, and soon expanded to fine tailoring of clothes and tapestries. Jack learned the trade of sewing and tailoring from a young age, as his brother and sister had been required to do before they set out on their own. He knew he would one day mind the family business. Jack was proud of his family’s trade and their shop, and he admired what his parents had built, but so did he admire their courage incoming to a new land to build a new life. He had never gone on any such adventure, and feared he never would.
Still, he dreamed.
