Serger Tote for Rotary Rulers and Cutter

This is the December 27 Baby Lock Serger Class at both Wimmer's locations:

Ogden from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

and

Layton from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

If you are nearby, I would love to have you join us.

Go to Wimmer's Web site to sign up.

Carry your quilting supplies in style with

the Rotary Ruler and Cutter Bag.

The pattern is from Martha Pullen Company.

The handle goes through the small loop to keep the bag closed.

The bag is large enough to carry a 6 1/2" x 24" ruler,

and it has smaller inside pockets to accommodate your

3" x 6" and 3" x 18" rulers and your rotary cutter.

Batting is sandwiched between the exterior panels and the lining panels

to give the bag stability.

I hope to see you in class!

Thank you for visiting.

Simplicity 8026 Girls Jumper

My littlest grandgirl was thinking she needed a new dress for fall,

so we headed to Joanne's and she chose Simplicity 8026.

She also chose her own fabric.

It is a very fine whale, lightweight corduroy.

She is an average sized 7 year old - not tall, not short, not heavy, not skinny.

I sewed a size 8 with no adjustments, and it is a perfect fit.

The bodice sides feature a tab (I used flannel) with a decorative button.

Yes, my grandgirl chose those buttons as well.

There is a hidden zipper and hook and eye closure on the back.

I finished off the neckline with Hug Snug, and the armholes with bias binding.

My Baby Lock Triumph did a beautiful job of finishing the inside seams,

and coverstitching the hem.

The pattern sizing is girls 8-16 and it offers sleeve variations

as well as the pattern for a pair of leggings.

Hopefully that girl will get lots of wear out of this jumper before she outgrows it!

Thank you for your visit, sewing friends.

Vintage Inspired Apron

This is the November 29 Baby Lock Serger Class at both Wimmer's locations:

Ogden from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

and

Layton from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

If you are nearby, I would love to have you join us.

Go to Wimmer's Web site to sign up.

The pattern is Simplicity 1221.

I modified it to be sewn entirely on the serger.

Instead of purchased binding,

we will make custom binding using the binder attachment.

The patch pocket is sewn on using the chain stitch.

The ties are finished off with a rolled hem.

This would make a lovely,

new apron for you to wear during your Christmas baking,

- or -

it would make a thoughtful gift for someone special.

Do you use your serger for more than just finishing seams?

Let me know in the comment section.

Thanks for visiting today.
