My serger gave up it’s ghost last week, and I am in the throes of costume making. The last big PR Sewing Bee project was made with just my regular sewing machine, zigzagging all the seams instead of serging them. But today, I just felt desperate at the thought of zigzagging all those costume seams when what I really would like is properly serged seams.So I took my faithful old White Superlock into Joe, who has been keeping my machines healthy for the last 25 years. He has gently suggested trading in my old serger for a new one every time I’ve seen him for the last five or six years. Well, look what came home with me today!
And now I can happily get going on this little gem for DD2. Can you guess what it’s going to be?

Not having kids I have no idea about the costume, although it looks as though it must have been challenging to sew!. Ahem though you are making me think I should take my serger out of the box (yes, I have one that I haven’t used yet as I don’t want to watch the accompanying videos about threading…how silly is that?).
That looks like Elsa’s dress! Enjoy your new toy 🙂
Oh wow, a new toy! Yay! It looks so clean and white! I bet you will spend years and years of cool and pretty projects together. Hmm, is that for Queen Elsa’s dress? I hope you post the finished product, I want to see!
Cool new sewing machine! How do you find it so far? I plan to buy a new one in the coming weeks so I have been checking this article for tips.
I love it. It’s got an automatic adjustment, so I don’t have to fiddle with dials or tension until I’m happy. I have some jeans to sew up this week, so I’ll see how it does with the denim. But so far, so good!
Ooo shiny and lovely. I wish my coverstitch would die so I can get a new one ;). Are you girls too grown up for mermaid dress/tail/outfit??
No, they’re not! I just finished the costume yesterday, and will post pics soon.
Congratulations!! When you sew as much as you do, it is certainly worthwhile the investment in proper equipment 🙂 RIP to your old machine, and I wish you and your new serger many years of joy together ^__^
Thanks! I’ve used it daily since bringing it home.
Oh, I didn’t know what that little spot was for (thanks Linda!) – what a clever idea, and the new serger must be wonderful. I agree, they must be Frozen costumes.
Ooh – nice new, serger. I am stroking mine and talking nicely to it as it has become a bit huffy. I’m hoping not to need a replacement.
I see Frozen costumes too. Have fun sewing them.
Congrats on the new serger! You’re going to love it!
Ohh! Very nice. It even has a little bin in it for scraps and thread.
Congrats on the new machine, I see Frozen dresses.
Elsa dress! I made one of those last year for Halloween. Looking forward to seeing your final dress.
