So, I’ve been using my serger for finishing edges but I know that it can do more. Why else would people be paying thousands of dollars for a machine like this?
I need instruction. I have sketched out my dream hoodie and I want to make it happen. The book and video that came with my serger are a little sad (but I expected that when I bought the cheap serger). I have been looking around online for some more instruction (preferably video) and haven’t come up with much (although I did find an entertaining clip of Santino singing about a the serger).
This is the “winterized” version of Simplicity Patern #4099.
How did I do it?
Other details: I had to lengthen the sleeves 3 inches, I had to cut the jacket a size larger to accomodate the bulk of the fleece, there is fleece in the collar and the pocket flaps to make them fit in with the rest of the jacket.
