This chapter opens with a description of chima, a trinket box. It's similar to the trinket box we saw in Chapter 2, except it's also a sewing box. The narrator explains that the sewing box is a gift from her grand mother, who used to work in a sewing factory. When she was a child, her mother would sew fabric for her dolls. The fabric would be cut into tiny pieces, and the dolls would sew the pieces together. The dolls would then sew the fabric into their dolls. This is the first time we see that the dolls are actually sisters, not just doll-like dolls.
