these are a few of my favourite pins ~ overlocker/serger tips

 

I have an overlocker in fact I have two.

One I have had for years but haven't used in ages

and the other was a gift that is still in the box.

 

Part of my problem is finding time to set

myself up to use them.

 

The other part is fear and dread of threading

and actually using my overlocker.

 

I'm psyching myself up and checking out some

great posts on using my overlocker.

 

I'm not alone here am I?

I'm not the only one who keeps putting

off learning overlocker secrets?

 

Tell me I'm not alone.

 

Anyway I hope I'm not the only sook and

some of these posts help you too.

I like skirts, I really do but I don't often wear them.

My clothing board on pinterest is bulging with

lovely skirts that I'd like to try and make one day.

these are a few of my favourite pins ~ hearts

 

I have lots of visitors here from countries that celebrate

Valentine's Day way more than here in Australia

and although I don't celebrate it at all (as I always make

a donation to The Heart Foundation instead)

I do like a good heart craft.

 

Here are just a few I have found on pinterest this week.

This one is in Dutch but simple to understand.
