We got my wife's project #1 done today. We own 2 folding wood luggage racks that we use when packing and unpacking our suitcases. They came in large plastic bags as protective covers, but the plastic has ripped over the years. So my sweetheart decided that she wanted to build fabric covers for them. She bought some clearance fabric at Joanne's months (and months) ago, and the project just sat.
We got it done today. I had never used a serger before, but I trimmed and finished the fabric edges with a 4-thread overlock stitch. (I like tools, and that's quite a cool tool.) Then she stitched it all together with her sewing machine. It came out quite nice, especially because we were winging it without a pattern.
So now it's on to project #2. She has wanted to build a cover for my air compressor. She has the material. This project has been on hold for several years...
