Sorry It's been a while. I have been so busy with school, work and looking for a new serger. Mine has been acting funny latlely, so I decided to take in to have it serviced. The only thing is that the shop is so backed up that it will take about a month to fix it. I decided that with the fashion business expanding, I did not want to be left hanging, so I did the best thing I could do, I bought a new one. It's a little fancier the old Bernina one I have. It's a Pfaff Coverlock 4852. That's right it has a coverlock feature so I can do that now. A coverlock stitch is generally used in garments and it is marked by a tight overlock stitch on the back and a straight stich on the front. It is seen a lot in t-shirts and jeans. It's taking a lot of time to get used to the threading, adjusting the tension, stitch length, stitch width, changing the needles etc. But it is produces a more professional stitch compared to my old serger.
So that is what I have been up to for the past week. I also redesigned the website. I will try not to wait so long for the next post. Here's the new Diana Ross dress.
Yay! I got featured twice on the frontpage of Etsy. There's my dress on the bottom. I was really excited because this was the first time. I have been in a few treasuries but they have never gotten to the front. Treasuries are handpicked items from Etsy that if appealing enough to the administrators, they will choose and the treasury will make it to the front for one hour. I was lucky enough to be in one that did. My views jumped tremendously from it and I even got my first sale. I sold a vinyl carry-all. The dress that was featured was made from a pattern dating back to 1969. I shortened it quite a bit and took it on the sides. It looks great on Melissa. You can take a look at the store
