Dressing my serger.







My serger finally got her matching dressing just like her sister, the sewing machine. I finally got to sew her final seams today after I put away the costumes for good...hopefully! I appliqued some felted wool pieces to the background fabric with a blanket stitch of DMC thread. I love this technique. I have the bug to make some more penny rugs now.

Taking the plunge into the blogging pond!



It certainly is a grand day as I create and post on my first blog. Bear with me as I am "wading" through all this new information.

I wanted to share one of many of my uncompleted projects! I love to start projects but then find something even more exciting and well..... I have a hard time checking DONE on the previous ones that I started.

This one is near the finish! All that is left to do is the construction of the serger cover. All the applique work is done thanks to the time I had at Camp Scrap. I used scraps of wool that I washed in hot water and dried in the dryer to "felt". I then created a pattern and cut out my pieces to blanket stitch onto the cover pattern pieces that I made from the plastic cover that originally came with my sewing and serger machines. Do you like?
