I have a little project with sample squares of silk jacquard. I want to serge them to a backing of silk organza to stabilize them until I figure out what to do with them.

My Huskylock 1003 LCD has a knife that needs replacing, it's chopping whatever samples I'm giving it, but it's also folding. I haven't got much serger background, so I thought the LRS5 foot would be OK. Not so much. I should be able to serge an edge without folding over, n'est pas?

I have my Elna serger coming back today. That's what I'll use to do the job. There was nothing wrong with that when I shipped it to someone who thought she might buy it. She's been giving it a tryout since before last Christmas, so I know it's in good working order.

More later.

Ordering Fabric Online

I ordered fabric online for the very first time. I'm pretty excited. Did a mini-straightening and rearranging of all my fabric. I probably have 50 yards of various, hodge-podge knits, another 50 of coating and suiting wools and probably 50 yards of dress/blouse weight. I seem to have about 20 yards of stretch, black pants weight. That will come in handy, I'm sure.

I have been lurking at Diary of a Sewing Fanatic; she is my Muse. I really haven't sewn clothes for a very long time. I really, really want to.

I'm going to commit to taking some pictures tomorrow.

I ordered from Fashion Fabrics Club. I ordered 3 knit prints in turquoise/spa blue/lime, a lime gauze knit for light weight skirt or pants and a 4 1/4 yard piece of tan/brown/ geometric georgette for a summery dress. The piece was $15.25. I think I'm going for a mini-swap in the beach vacation vein.

Wish me luck. Follow through is always a challenge for me.
