New Expedition



My newest project is learning how to use my serger. I had a lot of leftover flannel from my long ago pj pant projects and so I cut them in to 8 inch squares and made baby wipes. The first few went very poorly so I had to research online how to round corners. I found most people saying to go fast! I had been going slow. So, I tried again and found that I could do it! The faster the better, I guess. I also had to start marking the curve on each corner otherwise I would never make it all the way around. I still am experimenting with finishing off the threads...

To go along with the wipes I found a great wipe solution:

1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon baby wash
1 tablespoon baby oil
1 tablespoon aloe vera gel
