Let's get the bad news over with: The Purrfection Perfect Trousers were not perfect. Before I even took my serger out of the box I basted the trousers for a quick fitting. They are too low in the back, undoubtedly due to my booty shape, and there are unattractive smile creases in the crotch area. Since I have a custom drafted trousers pattern waiting in the wings I'm not going to fiddle with this pattern at all. I'm going to unbaste them and try to use the pieces for my Unique trousers pattern, with which I hope to have better luck.
And now for the good news! My serger is HERE! She arrived in one piece and works like a dream. Easy-peasy to thread--just like threading a sewing machine x4. Serging is "sew" different! Tonight I plan to serge dh's other polo workshirt after I practice securing seams and serging on scraps from the shirt's knit fabric.
Between mailers, emailers and in-store flyers I have six--count'em--six 50% off Jojos coupons--three for Friday and three for Saturday. I'll get some interfacing and batting and maybe some material for my WIP shirts--Purrfection's Poet's Blouse and SB's Today's fit asymmetrical closure raglan sleeve job. Oh, and I need material for those Unique trousers if I can't re-use my turkey trouser fabric (which was a real nice bottom-weight black stretch twill--really hate to waste it....).
