AW PIP :) and a Boo Hoo :(

First, the AW...I made this Lolly Wolly Doodle knock-off for my friend's daughter.  It turned out really well--peasants are so easy to make after all.  If you are interested, pics of the original and more details are in my blog.

Now for the Boo Hoo--I think I broke my serger Crying The lower looper tension dial is not working and it is just making a big old mess.  It is still under the "limited" warranty so I guess I'll be hunting down an authorized dealer to see if this is covered and how much it is going to cost to fix.

Now that I am used to having it around, I really am bummed about sewing without it.  I mean, I like serged seams :(  Yes, I know it sounds spoiled and immature, but I am not a happy girl...

Re: AW PIP :) and a Boo Hoo :(

  • I love the ruffle cuff and the fabrics look great together! :) 

    When you sew like you do......a serger is a must! Nothing spoiled about it.

  • That dress looks great! I love the fabric.  

    I hope your serger gets well soon, I don't know how I could live without mine!

    ETA: I just looked at your blog and I think yours is even better than the original, and you took better pictures too :)

  • Sorry about your serger.  French seams are not too hard, but definitely not as quick as serged seams.

    Very cute dress.

  • I can't say anything about the serger, I still don't have one - all french seams here.

    I LOVE the dress, and I super love the fabric.  I am gonna check out the blog to see if you list where you got it.

    Awesome job

    See, french seams on sleeves and ruffles end up so bulky for me :( 

    As for the fabric...I bought it off fabric.com (with a coupon I might add)--it's all over etsy as well.  There are a few other colors it comes in.

  • Love the fabric and the sleeves!

    So sorry about your serger!

  • I saw your post last night. I wanted to tell you that I thought your version of the dress was so much better than the original (but I couldn't comment from my cell phone.) You are very talented.
