After weeks of bidding and getting outbid on Ebay, my new "toy" arrived this morning.
I treated myself to a little Overlocker.
Hopefully this will make my duvet covers and cushions more professional looking as I won't have to pink the seams - they'll be sewn like shop-bought ones!!
I like gifting myself.. you always get what you want that way AND you dont have to drop hints either! :O)
I use my overlocker to trim off the excess batting after I have put my binding on.. gives a smooth finish to it and much easier than trying to cut it with scissors or on the cutting mat on the floor! grrrr... thanks for visiting my blog too!
I've sewn ever since primary school (I'm of the generation when us girls had to take Needlework and Cookery!!). I have made various things over the years but started sewing and then crafting regularly in late 2006. I specialise in items for children but will try my hand at most things.
Enjoy you new toy!!!
