10 Easy Things to Make With a Serger

!±8± 10 Easy Things to Make With a Serger

The greatest thing about serging is that it is fast and easy. Here are 10 projects you can easily make in under an hour. All of these projects would make excellent gifts but they are so useful and fun to make you will want to make them for yourself, too.

1. Napkins- Save a tree and add elegance to any dinner table by serging up a stack of these, finished in a couple of minutes each by using the rolled hem.

2. Handkerchiefs- Made in the same way as napkins, but use soft flannel, or try re-purposing old t- shirts, pajama pants, or anything else soft you might have in your scrap basket.

3. Tablecloths- I made a festive party tablecloth by cutting a red sheet to fit my table and then sergering all four sides with rainbow variegated thread.

4. Baby Blankets- If you use 2 layers of flannel, these are so much nicer than what they sell in the stores. This is probably the simplest, easiest baby gift you can make, but each one you make will be well used and loved.

5. Pillowcases- With one yard of fabric and about 10 minutes you can have custom bedclothes far more fabulous than what you will ever find for sale in the shops.

6. Designer Children's Clothes- YOU are the designer. You could make a dress for a little girl from a vintage pillowcase in half an hour. I made a T-shirt for my son using the good pieces from a stained pocket tee that originally belonged to his dad. I used royal blue thread and set the seams on the outside, quickly fused an applique cut from patterned fabric, and added the original pocket at the hip. This has become baby's favorite shirt because of the pocket, and we have received many compliments on the creative, exposed seams. Sergering the seams on children's clothes makes them more long lasting and hard wearing.

7. Patchwork, with a difference- This is another creative designing opportunity. Try making simple patchwork with the serger, and have some of the seams on the front side of the work. Quilts and bags made in this way are stunning and original.

8. Purse accessories- After you make your patchwork purse, fill it with a glasses case, wallet, checkbook cover, and more. You could probably complete the whole set within an hour.

9. Cloth baby diapers and wipes- There are lots of ways to make cloth diapers, but the easiest way is to make "flatfolds" by sergering layers of flannel together in a rectangle, which you will fold into thirds in the same way as you would a "prefold." You can easily find out the standard sizes of prefold through Google, though making your own means you can custom fit diapers for your child. I love to use wooly nylon in my loopers when serging diapers.

10. Curtains- These are greatly simplified by the serger; you can do rolled hemming on three sides in under 5 minutes. You can even attach and gather a ruffle in one fast pass through your machine. Combine these with easy serger patchwork, and you can make something custom and truly special to match any decor.

How Many Cloth Diapers Do I Need?

!±8± How Many Cloth Diapers Do I Need?

How many cloth diapers you need depends on the age of your baby and how often you plan to wash diapers. You will need fewer in each size as you baby grows. The type of diapers you choose will also influence the number of diapers you need.

Some styles will need changing a bit less often. For instance, pocket diapers have a moisture resistant barrier between the baby and the absorbent insert. This means you can change baby less often unless the diaper is dirty so you will likely need fewer than for a less absorbent option.

If you have a heavy wetter your baby will be on the high end of the number shown. You can extend the absorbency by using a doubler, using two prefolds or using newborn prefolds as doublers for older babies. With my own daughter, I often use a hemp and micrifiber pocket insert combination so she stays dry all night and during long naps. Since I can't always predict her naps, I use this combo a lot during the day and it works great for keeping her dry.

While one size diapers are popular right now, many parents prefer the less bulky fit of sized diapers. Since your baby is likely to only need two sizes and will need only a few of the larges if they happen to get that big, sized diapers offer a great option for parents.

Cloth diapering will save you a lot of money, but the up front investment can be intimidating for parents who are unsure if cloth is the best choice for their families. If you can't afford to invest in all you need all at once, you can start with one day's worth and then add more the next time you get paid. Just take the amount you are spending now on disposables and save it to purchase more cloth once a month until you have the number you need.

You will want to get a few extras to have on hand while you are washing diapers. Nothing is worse than having a sick baby and no clean diapers.

You will need one diaper cover for about every 4-6 diapers you have. Most covers can be reused a few times by airing them out between changes unless they are dirty. It is always a good idea to have one more cover than you think you need in case one gets dirty at a bad time!

Wool covers can go even longer between washes if they are properly lanolized when they are washed. PUL diaper covers are easily cleaned and dry quickly if the need to handwash one arises between loads of laundry.

Pockets and all-in-ones do not need covers. You will need to have at least 1 insert for each day time pocket style and 2-3 inserts for each night time diaper. Hemp is a great choice for extra absorbency for heavy wetters or overnight.
