Following the birth of G, we finally were able to celebrate Christmas as a new little family. I truly could not have asked for a better x-mas present. But in the spirit of adding to my crafting entourage, my Mom and soon-to-be Mother in-law (((only 58 more days until the wedding::::ahhh)))) surprised me with a Serger. I didn't desperately need one, but now that I have one I know I can accomplish much more with my sewing.
We used the machine briefly to finish up a skirt for G's bassinet, but it was my first day home from my 8 day hospital stay and I was not up to learn:((( So it's been sitting in its pretty case waiting to be used. Joseph needed some table runners for a convention he has next week. In my typical sewing fashion I would have just hemmed the edges and called it a day::::but I thought it would a great project to bust out the Serger.
After doing a couple test fabrics to get a hang of the machine, two of the threads broke. That brought up a whole other dilemma. The machine is so intimidating. After reading the manuel and figuring out how to thread it all by myself, I put that machine to work. The table runners turned out great and now I feel more confident in using this bad boy. If only I could find the time to play around, I'm dying to make some dresses for G::::maybe after the wedding:)))
XOXO
P.S. I love this little girl
