I met this sweet girl Madeline at a conference in Ohio nearly two years ago. We've since kept up online and she now has an encouraging blog with her friend Sarah, "Flame In The Darkness". They post a lot of great stuff- everything from recipes to fashion tips to encouraging articles on being a Godly girl. Well, this week they're giving away a copy of my swimwear eBook! There's not that many entries yet and there are about a billion ways to get extra entries, so your chances of winning are pretty high! Head on over and enter!
Yesterday I practically jumped up and down with joy when I saw two lovely large packages sitting by our basement door... one boldly had "PB teen" printed on the box and the other had "Fabric.com" labeling it! Guess what was in the latter box?
Oh, y'all are just too smart. :P
Yes, fabric! More specifically, yellow denim and a darkish blue denim! I'm so excited to get to sewing those lovely lengths into some skirts... but, I think I'm going to wait until the end of the week because...
I have a SERGER arriving Thursday! I'm totally stoked. I've been waiting a long time to get a serger, but never really put the effort into finding out which were the best brands, models, etc. Today I was procrastinating doing school and decided to google it... and, lo and behold! A machine that sounded perfect. My favorite regular sewing machine I saw on TV and decided that was the machine I wanted, read some reviews, and took the plunge. I'm so glad I didn't spend more time searching for the perfect machine for me- because I love it. So, I took the same approach with this serger machine and just read some reviews and went for it... I feel pretty confident because it had 270 some 5 Star reviews on Amazon. :) I'd post a link but our lovely internet is sketchy right now. *sigh* just one of the joys of country life. :)
So. Now I want to go organize my fabrics and set up a sewing station so I can get right into sewing awesome things when my serger gets here... come to think of it... I think I need to order some thread. :P
Do any of y'all have sergers? What brand/model? Do you like it? Anything a new serger user should know?
I have a Pfaff 788 serger. I like it, most of the time. It has a personality of its own..... :) I got it on eBay a few years ago, and got the hang of using it pretty quick. You'll enjoy yours I'm sure, be sure and post pics when you get it!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for you :) Although I don't think I would want one myself a regular sewing machine is fine for me. I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!! Love, Katie
