It's a skirt! - No, it REALLY is!

It just happens to look like a pillowcase...

On the upside, I FINALLY (only week 6 of the course...) started doing some actual sewing! And I have found my new favourite toy: the overlocker sewing machine! Never even knew such a thing exists. The set up with three (or even four) different threads feeding into the machine looks very complicated. Fortunately, it's all done for us and ready to uses. It's used to sew over the raw edges of clothing and can also be used for hemming and seaming. It comes with a little knife that cuts along the raw edge before it's overlocked. And it's so much fun to use!

this is inside out - the white seam won't be seen (not that I think I will EVER wear this...)
