Serged edge using the "Singer Tiny Serger" . I could not get the pics much clearer than this. IF you look closely, you can see the edges sticking out from the serged edge that need to be trimmed. This serger does not trim the serged edges for you as you serge. You have to do it yourself.

Sew Many Ideas . . .Sew Little Time . . .

O.k., sew(so), I haven't been very fruitful in the sewing department. I started this blog in the hopes of becoming more active "sew-cially" (sorry, I love puns). Well, we see how well this has worked out. It's o.k., I've decided to try to do a little bit each day. Perhaps if I'm watching t.v., I can sew during commercials... or cut, or pin, etc. I purchased some fabric recently: a corduroy print(for a skirt and maybe a matching hat), some denim(for a coat with removable lining), and a cotton blend(which I thought might make a good high waisted skirt). I also purchased a pattern since McCall's was on sale. M5759 Oh yes, I also purchased some fleece (for a hat) and some satin(for a scarf). Naturally, everything I purchased was marked down or on sale because I'm the Dime-Store Dame...hey, that just came to me...I was going to "say"...Frugal Frannie. Dime-store? lol! I guess I'm really dating myself huh? Do they even have dime stores anymore? anywhere? I mean maybe they do....but nothing in there is a dime. Perhaps the dime store has evolved into what we now know as the dollar store. Well, I'm sleeping so off I go.
Thanks for being "sew"ciable.
