Sergin!

So last night, my galpals Jessie and Michelle came over, and we pulled out my serger! I’m totally intimidated by this thing, even after last night.

I think probably “Simplicity” is not an apt name for this machine. More like “Difficulty” or “Frustration” or “Why does the purple thread keep breaking?” It took us two hours, five tries, a flashlight, a pair of tweezers, and copious amounts of wine and cursing to get it all threaded and set the tension properly. But! Now it’s done! And, according to Jessie and the manual, I don’t have to rethread it for a long time. There is a fancy tying off method where you can change the thread without unthreading the machine. More on that when I have some cones of my own to put on there. The ones in the picture are loaners.

So today, I took off of work to get a bunch of sewing done! A really exciting email showed up in my inbox yesterday afternoon, and now I feel like I should probably make a lot of Lunch Kits by next week. A little vague, I know, but I’ve learned my lesson about jinxing myself! I promise more details when I’m sure there are details to share!

Today is sort of windy and gray, so it’s nice to hole up in the craft room with bad TV and sew like mad! It’s veggie roast weather. Or maybe some sort of crock pot stew?
