I completed one of my planned sewing projects for this year, a new shirt for me. It was the first big project that I have used my serger on. I learned a few things: it is good to baste with a regular machine before serging on a curve, and how to use the coverstitch to finish hems. I added the white fabric across the V of the shirt, since it is very low cut. Overall I am pleased with how it turned out, and how professional it looks with all the serged edges.

It's really cute, Laura. Great sewing!
How nice that you could attach the white fabric there! I don't like to layer, and it seems like 90% of shirts in stores are too low cut on me, so it's hard. i wish that more shirts came with a "faux layer" like that one.
