CORAL :: NAVY :: WHITE…

No pressure.  No worry.  For example:  Last night I was sewing a pair of trousers and I cut a hole in the fabric with my serger. You see, sergers have this neato built-in cutter that, um, cuts fabric.  I don’t think I need to get more technical than that.  Due to operator error, I found myself with a gash in my pant leg about 1/2″ wide by 2″ long.  Okay, maybe not a huge hole if it were a pothole or even a mole hole, but this was my pants people. GAH… I should have taken a photo of it because I … Continue reading CORAL :: NAVY :: WHITE…
