Spent yesterday evening practicing on my serger and working on Dh's 2nd polo work shirt. I graded up the pocket as suggested in comment to my review of polo work shirt #1. I have learned that it's very distracting to my sewing while trying to watch a funny movie. Maybe I should just listen to music while I sew.
For the work shirt, the pocket and placket are done first, with the sewing machine. For next time, I will clearly marke the center fronts on the front piece and all the markings (cf, stitching line, folding lines, etc.) on the placket. This will make things go faster.
Next is shoulder seams, and the first chance to use a serger. The collar follows, and it was evident that I need to learn to properly adjust the serger for the thicker fabric of the purchased collars I use. That should be easy enough. I ended up doing it on the sewing machine and it went fine.
Now all that's left is to serge the remaining seams, hem, buttons & buttonholes. I wonder how fast I can get it finished?
