 And I would be remiss if I didn't mention my OWN excellent book SergeArt - Wearable Art for the
Creative Serger, available through Krause Publications. It
contains instructions for the garments that I designed to teach in class
settings, photos of garments made in classes, and many variations. The
techniques are simple using a 2/3/4, 3/4, or 5 thread serger. The instructions
are generic and apply to any brand of serger.
The Las Vegas Jacket shown on the cover also appeared in Pfaff Club
Magazine #17.

Look for my book at your local sewing machine dealer, fabric store, or
book store. If they do not have it in stock, they should be able to order it for
you. It can also be ordered through online book sellers. If you can't find it,
please email me and I can sell you a copy via snail mail (and I will sign it, if
you like).
Please take something and
pass it on!
