In the meantime I cut Burda 01/2011 Mod 126 out of a knit I bought at Metro Textiles, NY a while ago.
Since I wanted to use the serger to finish the edges, I threaded it with grey (the only color I have so far), and started experimenting. I'm quite proud of myself for overcoming my trepidations and making myself stop reading more books on sergers. I figure I can make small steps and now I can at least finish seams, construction with the serger is another thing...
Here is my fabric sample, the fabric is rust with a gray wrong side. I guess it could be considered double sided, the wrong side has a less noticeable rib pattern.
You're doing a great job with the serger. The more you use it, the more you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
ReplyDeleteI love this coat too. This issue is another month away I think, just in time for our winter sewing.
ReplyDeleteoooh nice job with the serger! i need to learn how to use one sometime!! tis scary!
ReplyDeleteAs Irene says, in a few months you wonder how in the world you ever sewed without it! The difference on the inside of my garments is night and day, and when I do serger construction it is one and done--so fast!
