More than ten years ago, I purchased a serger, but I never used it … not one single time … because I was afraid of it.  So, shortly before my year trade-in period expired, I exchanged it for a less intimidating embroidery machine.

But as the years have gone by, I’ve always wanted to learn to use a serger … to tackle my fears of the needles and blades and countless knobs and inexplicable adjustments.  And so having just finished this outfit for Vivi, using my new serger several times during the project, I am quite proud of myself. I still have all my fingers, and I didn’t accidentally slice a hole in the dress.

And best of all is that Vivi loves the funky little ensemble. 🙂
