Serger Crochet - Something New and Fun

Here it is - my first attempt at "Serger Crochet" using my Babylock Image Wave Serger! You can actually sew on threads! It ends up looking like a ruffle as you shorten the stitch length.

I made two scarves from stretch knit fabric -- and lots of thread -- for the wavy fringe edging - called "Serger Crochet."



It's light and fun to wear - please visit my etsy shop PA Fiber Artist to see more details.




I folded this scarf in half (lengthwise) and rolled it into this flower. It also stands by itself and looks like an icecream cone!

Wear it as a scarf or a neckwarmer:

Sewing With Stretch Knits

I recently took a course to learn how to sew with stretch knit fabrics. I also bought a serger (Babylock Image Wave). It's fun and easy to use.

Here's the top that I made with a nice stretch knit jersey fabric:



The collar was tricky:



Fiona helped me today as I took these photos! She's my Scottie-Poo.




This is a picture of a Babylock Imagine Wave serger. You need 4 spools of thread, it trims and binds the edge of the fabric as you sew.




And here are the side seam stitches on the inside of my new top:

Here's a side view:

And the collar:

It was difficult to match the thread to this pattern, but I used a seafoam color and it worked out well.

Voila!

It's very comfortable to wear and I am happy I finished it!

Au revoir!
