Heirloom Baby Boys Cap

The heirloom baby boys cap project is a class I am scheduled to teach at Austin's Sewing Center on January 18.  The blue stitching on both sides of the embroidered insertion is done with a cover stitch setting on my Babylock Evolve 8-thread serger.  I used 12 weight cotton thread.  The stitching on the brim is a chain stitch with the same thread.  The cap is lined, which shows through the blue cover stitching.

Tomorrow, I'll add a photo of my Shadow Work Pillow project.  Come back to see how pretty it turned out.

The Tailored Baby Boys Serger Bib is Finished!

The idea I had to just make the double-fold bias binding with the bias tape maker worked!  After putting the 1 1/4" strip of bias through the tape maker, I then spray starched the binding and pressed it in half.  That made the binding much easier to wrap around the curved edge of the bib.

Precious Baby Girls Serger Bib

I finally figured out how to use the software with my new digital camera, so I can upload photos of my Precious Baby Girls Serger Bib and other projects.  The bib is now on display at Austin's Sewing Center on Taylorsville Road in Louisville.  The class is scheduled for December 14.  Call Austin's to register for my class and learn some great serger techniques!

Should Serger Heirloom Sewing Become My Niche?

I have fallen in love with heirloom sewing and now that I've learned to do heirloom on my serger, I'm taking it to a new level.  Since becoming a staff teacher at Austin's Sewing Center in Louisville KY, I have scheduled several beginner classes on heirloom serger sewing.  Two are scheduled in December and three in January.

Serger heirloom sewing is a very easy way to accomplish a beautifully finished project as the serger "rolls and whips" the seam allowances all in one step!  Yes, you can work heirloom sewing techniques on a serger with confidence and accuracy, saving time and effort, with a lovely result.

As a Martha Pullen Licensed Serger Instructor, I am looking forward to sharing my serger and heirloom skills with the eager sewing student who is looking for more creativity in his or her sewing endeavors.
