Revisiting the Pacifier Clip

My serger has been sitting in the closet ever since I made The Bubb pants and I decided that I needed another project. When I originally made pacifier clips I had wanted to use a serger on the seams but that wasn't an option for me then, so I thought I'd try making them again.

Thinking that a rolled hem edge would be best, I read through the manual, but when I used the suggested settings, it didn't work. So I googled rolled hem edge with Brother 1034D serger, and found a blog that had suggested settings, well it broke my thread. Grrrr. But on the plus side it forced me to completely rethread my machine, which I hadn't done yet, and it wasn't THAT scary. So I fiddled with the settings for a while, a long while, but I finally got the edge I want and perhaps it really isn't considered rolled anymore, but just the same it is what I wanted in the end :)

Here are the settings I used for a rolled hem edge on the Brother 1034D serger:
Right Needle: 4
Upper Looper: 3
Lower Looper: 7.25
Differential: 1
Stitch Width: R
Stitch Length: 3

Little Red Bubb Pants

As you may recall I got a serger for Christmas and while it has been out of the box, I have been really intimidated by it. So I finally finished watching the videos, yes not one, but two videos, that came with it and reading the instruction manuals yesterday. I bought some fleece the other day to make Emmett some pants, and decided that this would work as a good first serger project. (I made the pants the same way I made these more or less) Although the fleece doesn't really fray so it wasn't really necessary and was a little too thick for a first project, but oh well!

It took about 20 minutes to change the thread. I cheated and just tied the old thread (it came threaded) to the new thread and pulled the threads through. (oh it uses 4 spools or cones at once) And amazingly it worked! I have A LOT to learn still. But I was able to put together some pants for him. I used a regular sewing machine to hem the pants and make the elastic waist band.

And here are some shots of The Bubb modeling them. Could this be the start of piggy nose?
