Speaking of focusing on other sewing skills, I took a serger class! I had previously only mastered the straight stitch on it and was impressed with myself if I could thread the thing in under 20 minutes. Well now I have learned some new skills! I hope I don't forget them before I can use them all.
One of our class exercises was to make a blanket. It was pretty simple, but they taught us to cut a little rectangle in it where we start serging so that when we come back around to finish, it looks nice and professional instead of just serging off in a diagonal. I also used Woolly Nylon in the loopers so that the thread would fill in a little more and be softer than regular thread.
I chose to make a little blankie for my newest niece Gracie Jayne.
Here is the sweet little doll wrapped up cozy in it.
I think she likes it!

Natalie,

Natalie, I'm really impressed by all you do. I can't sew a stitch and so people who can really seem like magicians to me. Your niece looks so comfortable and cozy!
This is adorable...and so is your niece!
