I finally had time to try out my very own used serger. I panicked. Have you seen one, or tried to thread it? It looks like you might need the brain of an engineer, which I lack. Surprisingly it was easy. I made this.
It was supposed to be a Halloween costume for Leah. Alas, it is freaking huge. So, my niece Reese is getting it for Christmas as a play dress. I'm sure it will fit her, and I'm sure she will love it. Let's all pretend that I sewed the garment with that intent in the first place, shall we?
Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure that Sheila (Reese's mom) is too busy with a new baby to read this. If not, then oops sorry. It will be a surprise for Reese AND, just wait to see what YOU'RE getting. Now, I better go find or make something good. Eddie told me this morning 80 shopping days till Christmas (he heard it on the radio). I almost said "What? Counting shouldn't even be allowed until it's under 10!" Ridiculous.

Good job! There have been so many times when I've wished I had a serger, but - honestly - I'm scared of them too! Plus, I don't have one . . .
That loosk great. You will be THE mom if your kids are ever in plays. I have NEVER wanted to learn to sew. Thankfully both my mom and mother-in-law sew so I go to them when I want something. :) I do have my moms old machine but it sits in a closet collecting dust. Maybe someday.
