Monday I finally got the serger out of the box and put it onto the machine table that is it's new home. A friend from my LQS (local quilt shop) had a sewing table with a cut out for a sewing when the tray is removed and place the arm in the open area. Unfortunately my Baby lock Molly will not fit so I improvised and am using it for the serger.
Last year at my annual retreat (Annual Crafty Ladies Retreat) I was able to pick up several pieces of fabrics that one of our members had brought for us to choose from. I got greedy. Now I am in the process of using the fabrics in various ways.
The first need was a fabric cover for my serger. I measured the height and the serger base that I use under my machine and the results were 15" X 15" X 15". I cut the fabric out and sewed the cube shaped cover. Now the remaining sewing is the application of an elastic similar to that in a pair of shorts. I still have that to complete.
When I retired I had the intention of making small bags with a corded shoulder strap made of cording and beads. I finally finished several of the bags. I need more cording and then I will contact my co-workers and see if we can do lunch. I will have several bags for them to choose from.
Helen (former co-worker) gave me a length of fabric as a going away gift. I have already decided that I will make a robe from it fashioned on the class I took after my Serger Workshop. I would like to get this completed prior to meeting with my friends so I can show Helen how her gift was used.
In the intervening weeks I have bought or found several lengths of fabric. Therefore, I will have several robes to wear over my nightwear. I am really excited about.
Keep on serging and have a blessed week!
