Santa Outdid Himself

I hope y’all had a wonderful Christmas!!  I had a great time with my family.  Also, Santa left something under the tree just for me….it was kind of cruel to see it wrapped, sitting there for weeks, but finally I opened it and…

A SERGER!!! 

Just what I always wanted!  I have used these before but I never thought I would have one of my very own for a LONG, LONG time.  Now I can stitch, cut and finish edges at the same time.  I’ll be able to play around with knits, a whole class of fabric I could never delve into before.  I can finish edges with a rolled hem.  Santa outdid himself.  I am going to smother Santa’s face with kisses ’til he turns bright red.

This is going to be fun.  Super, super fun!  I can buy stretch pants because I’ll be able to shorten them and finish the edges with this little guy.  I’ll be able to wear knit dresses that actually fit because I can make them myself.  Me and my Janome….which Santa actually got off Craigslist.  I don’t know how old it is, but it has been through two owners and has never been used.

Did you get something sewing/craft-related for Christmas?  I’d love to hear about it, and if you blogged about it, send me a link!
