This weekend, I worked on a new outfit for my daughter. These are my first successful projects since I switched back to garments after a decade of quilting. I used my new serger and several techniques I've never tried before like a double needle for hem finishes, and a rolled edge on the knit skirt. I had to try several samples before I found a way to keep the rolled egdge from curing up. The solution was to cut thin strips of fusible stabalizer and fuse them to the edge, then I serged the rolled edge. This is also the first time I've used my embroidery machine to embellish a garment. The skirt is not quite finished. I have to add shorts to make it a skort and finish off the waistband.
