I’ve got another LBB pattern dress, but this one is a bit different.
Why? It’s my first thing I have ever serged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s right!!!!!!! I finally was able to sit down, focus, read the manual a bazillion times, and use my serger. I’ll be honest. It scared me. But I conquered it. I am a Conqueror!!!! I still have to practice the tension a lot, but I know practice makes perfect.
My daughter wore this dress for a baking lesson with one of her aunts.
They mixed everything up and then her aunt had another cake already cooked (just like they do on cooking shows) so they wouldn’t have to wait for it to cook.
The little one got to help decorate and enjoyed a yummy cake!
(Oreos for the scales; fruit roll ups for the tail and fins)
And I must say. After my trip, I will have to go on a sugar detox!
Very cute!!
I love LBB. I’m one of Ashley’s pattern testers. I just got a Serger about a month ago. I was very excited to get it, but I, too, am a little intimidated by it. I’ve serged on a few scraps, but I need to spend some serious time bonding with my manual and my machine. The dress you made is adorable! Congrats on conquering your Fear Of The Serger!
That looks really good! Delicious! Did they decorate the 2nd cake too?
Justine,
Yeah….the funny thing about the cake they made is they forgot to put the eggs in it!!!!! So they just left it alone! lol. It was kind of funny looking 🙂
Another amazing cake! Good job on conquering the serger. It think the dress turned out wonderful!
Yummo! Great idea. We love cooking lessons in our house too – the results don’t last long though – we all have a sweet tooth…. Thanks for commenting on our giveaway – good luck!!
You lucky ducky!! Im still zig-zag stickin over here. The dress is cute as always!
That is so cute! I love that look. I am glad you are able to work with your serger. My serger and I are still fighting!
Dress is adorable, and sergers scare me too.

yeah for conquering your serger! I gave my older sewing machine to our older daughter, so I am on the look out for a new machine. I’ve looked at sergers as well, and I would be the same as you-as far as reading the manual over and over and over! :o)
I can’t wait til we have grandbabies to smock, sew, craft for :o)
Your little one is adorable and looks like she had lots of fun with the cakes!
Blessings & Aloha!
