keep your fabric away from me!

Yesterday I got this bright stupid idea that I would go out into the storm and drive to the fabric shop down the street. I don't even call it by it's name anymore.

My neighbor was there, we can sense these things, and the damage began. Well at least for me. I spent more than her.

We stocked up, bought fabric, stocked up again and then braved the ride home.

I wanted to get some fabric to make cheap and quick pilllowcases for Mila. I scored with some clearance stuff and thought I'd give my new serger a try. Finally.

For people that aren't familiar with it, serging gives you a professional and clean finish on your seams and what not. It cuts the fabric away for you and leaves the best finish.

I re-threaded the machine with the ugly colors it came with. I figured no one would see it.

It.was.like.butter.

Quick and easy.

I heart you serger.

That looks perfect Marisa. Good job and I'm glad that you like the new serger. Now we can have serger nights ahead of us. Hmm do you think 2 going at once would be too loud? lol
