Shortly after my son was born I thought I could jump back into sewing again. I took a break from sewing for 7 years because I didn't have the time or the space to sew. It was a very long and uncreative time in my life. Anyway, while on maternity leave I went crazy and I started going to JoAnn's to buy fabric for projects.
One such project was based off of pre-quilted fabric I found at JoAnn Fabric's. I thought it would be a quick and easy blanket that I could make using my serger. As it turns out my serging skills aren't as great as I thought when it comes to large items. Skirts and other small things are no problem, but I couldn't feed the fabric in straight so it came out crooked. Yeah, it sucked, so I just put it to the side and said I'd come back to it later. Well it is finally later! (months later)
I was able to trim it and make it even again using a rotary cutter I bought on Monday. I didn't realize I was missing out but this baby is awesome! It sliced through both layers of fabric like a hot knife through butter!

Here is the information for the rotary cutter in case you want one of your own.
Happy Sewing!!!
