The quilt class was fantastic! I now feel much more confident that I can machine quilt! I know I will need to practice, but I really think this is something I can do.
My new serger arrived on Friday, so I got to sew with it Sunday and I've been using it a bit each night.
Here is my Tissue Tote that I made from the free pattern I received at The Teacher's Pet booth in Houston.
And then I made.....12 more! Gifts! Free! Made with fabric scraps in the stash!
I also made a cute little pin cushion. And I have 5 more of those to make.....because they are cute! I'll post pictures of all of them later. Tomorrow night is the quilt guild meeting, so no sewing then. Friday night I plan to start on the PJ's out of the same fabric as the gift tissue totes. They have been cut out since last September and now I have to adjust the pattern size used because they will be too large now. Hopefully it won't be too much of a pain to fix that. Until then..... Happy Sewing.

I just got a serger this past weekend as well ... looking for some projects to practice and learn about serging. Your tissue pouches look like a great idea. Please share what else you do with your serger:)
MJ - Well, I have been known to just take fabric scraps and just sew seams. I'm working on a knit dress right now and I'm hoping to do just about ALL the sewing of it with the serger. There are a few books out there with projects for sewing, one is by Nancy Zieman where she makes pillow covers, etc. Hope this helps.
