Sewing hodgepodge

So in a fit of sheer ridiculousness, during the last month I have acquired TWO new sewing machines. Bringing the total number that live in our house up to five. And they are all named after robots.

You know I thought I was over doing it with two sewing machines and a serger but I feel like a light weight now =3

An aside with the serger have you used one before? Because they’re great fun till you have to rethread them, then their just bitches.
I’m just saying; I hated my machine for the first two or three weeks before I figured out all it’s quirks and that was after a friend gave me a really detailed lesson on how it worked!
Of course now I can’t live without it.

Now about the leather did you want me to make my accents out of leather? Such as the facemask and belts? If so I’ll take you up on that offer to use your 20% off. ^_^

Also I JUST realized that the machine Victor might be named for the character in Runways! Yes/ Yes? If so you win the awesome award it is given out for awesomeness.

Within that vein of thought WHAT Young Avengers are you going to be at Anime Boston!?!
I must know and be jealous.

So your awesome award for awesomeness should arrive in a week or so, it will be shaped like two dresses. ^_^

Thanks in advance for leather stuffs!

Also if you run in to trouble with the serger feel free to call me I might be able to help.

I think can give you one tip for serging, which I don’t think you’ll have seen elsewhere.

Normally it’s recommended that you sew your garment together and then serging the two seams at the same time to finish it.

But instead after you’ve cut the individual pattern pieces serge all the pieces individually this makes it so the edges are finished the entire time you’re working with the fabric.

Also if you make any mistakes you can take out any seams with out having to undo the serging.

Very cool that your going as Wiccan and Hulkling, I had a bet going with myself that you were going as Stature and Hawkeye, I owe myself a coke.
