Serger

So I got one of the best gifts ever the other week from my amazing Aunt Lorraine! 

She gave me her serger!!!

Now for those of you who don't sew, a serger is a completely different machine that is used for finishing seems.  I got this at the most perfect time because I'm making a prom dress for my manger's daughter.  Yes I have made dresses in the past but this one is different because I'm going to enter it into Joann Fabric's prom dress contest. I know I was meant to do this because the contest ends the day before my 20th birthday and the oldest you can be is 19.  And if I win first place I'll get $50,000 and a $1,000 gift card to Joann's.  So I'm pretty excited.
