Q: How long does it take to serge all 8 seams of a skirt and it's lining?

A: Longer than you'd think, at least if you are me.

But it was very good practice with my serger. Slow and careful was my mantra, and I think I'm finally getting the hang of chaining off the ends.



I'm really coming down the home stretch on this dress. And I think it looks great in seersucker. Honestly, this was a bigger project than I thought it would be. But that's ok. I'm enjoying the process nonetheless.  



The big tasks left are dropping in the lining and adding the invisible zipper. I've never lined a dress before, so it may be a bit of an adventure.

I hope you had a fun and productive weekend, and enjoyed some fireworks!
