Serging for Softies
Our friend, Jennie Rayment has written another lighthearted book, filled with natty notions and small projects. The very simple designs from bags to boxes, tableware and a host of other delectable delights are wholly sewn on the serger but can be adapted for sewing machines. All the ideas are simple, and easy to follow with Jennie's most excellently clear diagrams and illustrations. Humour rules throughout and many hilarious anecdotes litter the text. Jennie's new book is packed with colour and amusement - this is a 'must have' for every serger owner. Serging for Softies, subtitled Black Cats and Overlockers (the European word for "sergers") includes an anecdote about when she was sewing at my house!23618 $26.95
