AW PIP skorts :)

I made a couple of these this past week/weekend. Love this pattern--it is the Isabella skort from 5Berries. A few more pics in my blog if you are interested

Nights and weekends
DH plays tennis on Saturday mornings/early afternoon, so when he gets home, he gets 100% kid duty if I am in the mood to sew. LA has been doing really well going to bed lately, so I am able to sew in the evenings (if I am not too tired).

I know! I purchased a couple of really cute sweater dresses for LA this fall...umm...wore them ONCE. Luckily, they will be cute as tunics with leggings next year (if it gets cold enough). I love sewing spring/summer stuff. Quick and simple!

I really need to figure out the rolled hem on my serger. I love the look of it on those skirts and I'd like to use it on one of the dresses I'm making.
Any tips? My serger and I aren't exactly besties.
Click me, click me!
Neither were me and mine a few weeks ago when she decided to get a big fat attitude with me--so I sent her to the shop for a 2 week TO (they call it a tune-up, I call it time-out).
I found that I really don't have to fiddle with my tension too much to get a good rolled hem, but the stitch length and width. Mine has an "R" setting for both, so I put it there and 99% of the time, we are good to go. The book cmeon recommends really helped me understand how the tension on my machine works--I'm sure you could find the same info on the internet. Working with different color threads on each spool helped so I could "see" what was happening.
Oh, and when you find the magic combo of settings that work for you--write it down and DON'T lose it! Trust me...been there, done that.
