Rolled Hems on Sheers

I've been practicing making rolled hems on sheers so I can hem Kim's veil and the as-yet-unmade bridesmaid wraps. The practice hems don't look so good. There's just a lot of thread there. I'm using a 3-thread rolled hem and I think I need to go down to 2 threads. My serger will do a 2-thread rolled hem, but it involves a little metal thingy called a 2-thread converter. The little thingy scares me because I think I bent it the very first time I pulled it out of it's little cubby-bed back when I first got my serger. Now I have to face my fear and try serging with 2-threads.

I get good results with the 2 thread rolled hem on my 744. You might also try a narrow hem, if your serger has that setting. It's like a rolled hem, but the stitches are further apart. It's a 3 thread stitch on my Elna.

Cozy Purple Pop of Color

Cozy purple throws for snuggling!  Adds some color  to the living room.  Thick fleece trimmed straight with rounded corners.  I tried some overcast stitches with my Juki however I couldn't get the look I wanted so I pulled out my serger. Gosh it's been, like 2 years since I used it but luckily it worked (I've had it for quite awhile but I'm still kinda afraid of it 😜).

Crafty Stirrings

My sewing stuff has been packed up for quite awhile and I miss it! It was packed up to make room for a season of extended visits by family which we have truly enjoyed so it was a worthy trade-off. Family visits will be done in a few weeks and in the meantime we decided that we'll be moving into a different house a few weeks later, so my sewing and craft things (other than sewing-related stuff I have just a few jewelry-making and scrap-booking supplies) will remain packed until it's arranged in our new abode. Focusing on family and transition decisions has taken up my mental space so it's just now, as I begin creating the vision of our next home I'm looking forward to having a sewing space again.
