Need some instant gratification while learning new skills? These projects can be finished in a class! Keep your valuables safe in your closet under your clothing. Traditional safes are easy to spot and not portable. The hanger safe is neatly hidden under a jacket and even placed under a low cut blouse. The front is finished with five rolled hem pintucks and flat lace insertion. This creates the appearance of a feminine heirloom camisole, also making it difficult for a thief to identify its true purpose. The loops have delicate flatlock detail and above the decorative front, there is a zippered pocket extending the length of the safe with a lovely touch of scalloped edge lace along the bottom. Lastly, there is a hidden zipper pocket underneath for even more security and perfectly fits two passports. The entire safe is made on a serger! These extra presser feet are required: Blindstitch foot and 5mm Piping foot. This is a must have item for your closet or next travel getaway. Finished size 16in x 16in with straps included.
Get festive for the holidays using decorative and functional stitches on your serger. Stitch up this giant candy cane patterned table runner along with coordinating simple napkins and ties. On the table runner, the stripes are fused to the main fabric. Then the raw edges are finished like applique with a coverstitch with decorative thread. In between each stripe are three decorative thread chainstitches to carry out the candy cane theme. Around the outside is nicely finished piping around the curves and it is fully lined allowing for the option of having it reversible, 5mm Piping foot required. The napkins have two size options and are a basic two tone completely lined with rolled hem ties to wrap around. Slip a little candy candy inside for added decoration. Enjoy stitching this up while learning more about your machine. Final Dimensions Table Runner 34” x 13-1/2” and Napkins either 14” or 18” Square
