serged caftan




Okay, I am really proud of myself for threading my new serger. I'm amazed at myself for actually making a garment. Don't get me wrong. I made some amateur mistakes but this is actually wearable. I'm going to wear it proudly.

After last nights unfortunate events this looked like Buster had chewed a large hole front and center. Turns out you can't serge the facing. Lucky me, the pattern is HUGE and I was able to fix the problem and maybe help the sizing. The collar will not lay as illustrated but who cares. My next project hopefully will go better. Live and learn.

Right now I'm going to take a hot bath and put on my new robe.

janome



Cleaned up my chime mess to make way for my new toy. A SERGER! Don't know what to do with it but will soon find out.
Searched high and low for a new robe. No cotton ones available online or otherwise. I think I can make a couple. Bought the batik fabric for a caftan and the 1940's pattern for an old fashion chenille robe. Just like Big Edie. Wish me luck. I'm not a great seamstress. My mother and aunt were great. Will try to channel them to help me.
