As a teacher, part of my experience was to embrace being a life-long learner. I look on crafting and sewing as part of my life-long learning journey. How does one measure steps on this journey? Here's one way.

| An empty spool of serger thread. |
It's kind of a "miles traveled" measure. This was once a spool of thread for the my serger, and I've emptied it, making stuff.
Now my serger was literally a gift to me, and when I got it, I was really intimidated by it. So it sat for a couple years before I worked up my nerve to use that machine, but I finally did, and now I mostly enjoy using the serger. I LOVE how the edges are finished, and don't get dangly threads on them. It also sews FAST! I does have its drawbacks. It doesn't do curves well, especially tight curves. If you aren't careful, and sew layers that you aren't supposed to, you can wreck your project. You can unpick the seam, but there is a blade that will cut the fabric, too.
Sewing wtih the serger has definitely been a learning experience. And I still have so much more to learn on this versatile machine.
Here is my latest project:
